Im debating on joining the coast guard or air force. i know there has to be some type of physical fitness test(so many push ups, run a mile in under 15 min ect) what are the requirments for the Coast Guard and Air Force for Wemon?Are there any physical fitness test you must pass for the Air Force or Coast Guard?Yes, there is, but not until the end of your training. When you go to Meps you will go through a basic health examination. You will be required to do minor things like drop to your knees and get up without the use of your hands, but nothing strenuous. During boot camp you will be told what the requirements are, and will start physical training to get up to standards. The Navy has you test 3 times during boot camp, but each branch is different. After boot camp you are required to maintain that standard and are tested on it 2 times a year through a test called the Physical Readiness Test(PRT). The link below gives you the standards for women during that test and the site will explain the Air Forces fitness regulations.

You will have a general health assessment at MEPS right before you deploy that you must pass, but physical fitness will not be tested until the Military has a chance to condition you (and believe me they will). If you fail the Physical Fitness test in the Air Force on your final week, you will be recycled back a couple weeks to continue to condition. If you fail it again, they will typically discharge you. Nobody in my flight of 50 failed the test.Are there any physical fitness test you must pass for the Air Force or Coast Guard?Here's a link to fitness preparation for AF Basic it also covers what level of fitness you need to graduate basic and to maintain during your career.
There's a link on the left to the Coast Guard requirement which is similar but they have a swimming requirement the AF doesn't.
