Michael Wood. Contact him immediately if this requirement cannot be met.
Physical fitness: Unit missions require a higher level of physical fitness - take the time needed to prepare for this before reporting
aboard. The fitness standards that apply to DSF Tier one member have been discontinued at this time, but members are still expected to perform
to the highest levels of personal physical fitness. As a baseline, member should strive to meet the following standards before reporting:
1.5 mile run in 11:38 minutes
38 push-ups in 1:00 minute
42 sit-ups in 1:00 minute
You are highly encouraged to meet or exceed these these standards upon reporting aboard. A PT test will be administered shortly
after reporting.
It is likely you will deploy frequently while assigned to MSST San Diego. A government credit card is required. If you do not already
have one, you will apply for one upon reporting.
As you will soon discover, San Diego is highly renowned for its warm climate, and is a great place to operate and live. With a large
military presence, it also provides excellent opportunities and discounts for Active Duty personnel. We look forward to meeting and working
with you.
