Bon jour moonplayer,

i assume this will be made available to recruits sometime in boot camp, and everyone will participate regardless of where you think you want to go?

all running, to include cooper test and max 12 minute effort, is done in combat equipement?

rope climb is with gear or no gear? hands only or with feet?

swim is in gear as well? or cammies and boots only (BDU's)

thanks for the post, i have never heard of the COVAPI test yet. reading your profile, you have been where i want to go--reconscuba/amphib ops.

cheers,

DD
