You are SOLDIERS first, then your appointed role

Last ditch only

Every person in the military is trained as a soldier.

That's their primary role.

Applies to Navy, Airforce, Army.

Well yes, however stop a second

Devils advocate here, what about women in front line rolls in the TA with no overseas deployment?

Listen, the primary issue is during intense front line situations.

And the issue is, the front-line moves.

A cook is incredibly unlikely to enter that situation

Therefore they are also required to meet a lower physical standard

Male or female

Nope, they have the same requirements.

No they dont

The only reason they're cooks, is because they scored shit on the entry tests

TA? @4SidedTriangle

Terrirtorial army

they are called the reserves now

Ooh hard one

Probably the same

territorial army

Since the reserves can be called up and put into active service

I'd say the same rules apply

fitness requirement for a chef

Fitness:
Mid Thigh Pull 46kg
Medicine Ball Throw 2.9m
2km run 11m 15s (11m 30s for Junior Entry)

An infantryman needs:

Mid Thigh Pull 76kg
Medicine Ball Throw 3.1m
2km run 10m 15s

A chef needs:

Mid Thigh Pull 46kg
Medicine Ball Throw 2.9m
2km run 11m 15s (11m 30s for Junior Entry)

there is different requirements

requirement for infantry soldier

Fitness:
Mid Thigh Pull 76kg
Medicine Ball Throw 3.1m
2km run 10m 15s

This is the key point

beat me to it

For your opinion to be valid

I'll conceed that

you would also need to make literally all requirements exactly the same

To an extent

Since those roles risk combat

Front-line combat

However nowhere near as much

I think the requirement should be the same though a Chef should be just as combat effective as an infantryman if he is serving on the front lines

they will never be 4ST
