Should members who fail PT test be allowed to take the "other" PT tests as a substitu - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I was thinking...lots of folks have running waivers and do the three mile walk (which i hear is brutal), why can't those who simplly can't run take the walk test? If its a good enough way to judge fitness for those who medically can't run...why is it not a good enough way to judge the fitness of all?

If the point of the test is to weed out those who are not "fit", and if we allow those on run waiver to prove they are "FIT" by walking three miles...then we must assume that same test can prove the fitness level of anyone...right?

Thoughts?
