I seem to recall it being much harder when I went through selection back in 93. We didn't get to rest. The swim looks to be the same, the run is shorter, pull-ups were 25 if I remember correctly, there is no rope climb now(?!), no obstacle coursem and are thise the minimum 17-21 yo standards for SU and PUs? We had to max the kiddie standards. I was 32 at the time.
Still, all in all, a good stamina test.
