We believe that ANY operational rappeller should be able to excel at these tests. Veteran rappellers, permanent staff and rookies alike. These physical standards will be met by all members of the program on day one of the season. The minimum requirements for these tests are:ġ.5 mile run in 11:00 min or less (AVG: 9:40min)ģ mile/flat/under 90 min PACK OUT 85 pounds (AVG: 55:45min)Ĭrew averages listed above are from 2015 where exercises were done consecutively with 2 minute breaks. The curriculum then moves toward more difficult physical testing, which includes the mile-and-a-half run, pull ups, pushups, and plank tests and finally the rappeller pack out. This means that in order to meet "conditions of hire", you have to complete the USFS pack test carrying a 45 pound pack over 3 miles in less than 45 minutes. Without fail, the questions are always asked: " What are the minimums? What do I have to do to be considered for entry into the program?" At MRC we are held to the Forest Service minimum physical requirement standards, just like every other program in the agency.
