A Physical Agility Test (PAT) will be administered after you apply.
The Physical Agility Test (PAT) consists of the following:

Candidate must jump two small hurdles, climb a flight of stairs, descend the flight of stairs, go around a cone and continue back up and down the stairs again. The candidate jumps over two more hurdles and must go under a bar that is 2 ½ feet high. If they fail to negotiate the low crawl correctly,
there is a two-second time penalty. More running and a leap across a simulated 6-foot gap representing a large ditch. If either foot hits the tape, there is another two second time penalty. The candidate can opt to skip the jump and take the two second time penalty as well. Running back across the floor, the candidate must negotiate a 4-foot-high chain link fence panel, round the cone and run back across the floor. Now the candidate must climb through a standard sized window, which is four feet high, and, once safely through it, drag a 150-pound dummy a distance of 20 feet until the dummy is across the designated line. Finally, one more lap around the outside of the course and they are finished. This must be completed in 2 minutes, six seconds or less.
If PAT is completed, applicants will attend a face-to-face interview with a Recruiter. If selected, the applicant will also need to complete and pass Polygraph, Psychological and Medical evaluations to be recommended for the Command Staff Interview. If selected the applicant will be given a start date.
