Which military branch has the least physical requirements?

I've heard that some branches of the military have more intense physical requirements than others. Can anyone tell me which branches might be easiest for someone who's not super athletic? I'm interested in the military, but I also want to pick a branch that suits my physical abilities.

The physical fitness requirements do indeed vary among the branches of the U.S. armed forces. For those who are not particularly athletic, the U.S. Air Force generally has the least physically strenuous requirements compared to the other branches.

The Air Force's Physical Fitness Test consists of a 1.5-mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups. In terms of the level of physical fitness needed to pass these, it tends to be less intense than what's required by the U.S. Army, Marines, or Navy.

However, it's important to note that serving in the military does require a certain level of physical fitness, regardless of the branch. It's also worth considering that physical requirements and training are just one aspect of military service. Each branch of the military has its own distinct culture, mission, and role within the defense of the country, and these factors, along with the career opportunities and paths available within each branch, should be taken into consideration when making a decision.

Remember, though, that basic training is designed to take individuals of all fitness levels and get them to where they need to be, so don't count out a branch solely based on current physical fitness levels. Remember to consult with a recruiter from each potential branch to gain a clearer perspective regarding what you can expect. They will be able to give the most accurate information about the training and fitness expectations.
