Even if you are within what most consider normal, the army does not aim for normal.

You need to be in good shape to make the cut.

You need to be motivated more than athletic. Basic PFT standards are not extravagant; not everyone in the army is in a Ranger Battalion.

Nah, not really. The army definitely does aim for "normal." This isn't the seals we're talking about.
