do they do PT in the navy?
Yes all the military branches require a preliminary test to join up and then you are tested (I believe) every month so you maintain at least the minimum fitness requirements. But the Navy requirements are much easier than the Marine Corps'.
Army does: push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2 mile run
Navy does: push-ups, sit-ups, and a 1.5 mile run
USMC does: pull-ups (much harder than push-ups), sit-ups, and 3 mile run
Air Force does: Who cares
The minimum requirements actually aren't that difficult for an athlete, but if you ever want to be in any type of Special Forces like SEALS or Green Beret, you have to be waaaaay above the minimums. The requirements and scoring charts can be found in 2 seconds on google so I won't post them all here.
To get back on topic, a 100% for the Army in the pushups category is only 77 reps, which is still damn hard. I was wrong about USMC and 100 pushups.
