A few years ago yes I could have passed that test easy.
Nowadays with the body falling apart quicker than I thought I can't even get into some of this positions and if'n I did I would need a chiropractor to straighten me up.
As for prone getting down is easy getting back up not so easy.
Nowadays if i go camping I use a camp bed. If I slept in my swag on the ground and had to be up at 6am to go hunting I would have to start get upright at 2am. It would take me that long to get up off the ground.

I'm to the age that I need to plan on how I'm going to get up if I just sit down in a chair, much less than on the ground.

But even 20 years ago I could pretty much pass any of the test with room to spare.

My last bull elk hunt ended with a fairly easy 1 1/2 mile pack out on a old closed road. Once I got it out I made up my mind that it was the last elk pack out that I was going to do.

Wonder if they did the same qualification with a Garand?
