Run a fucking 9 minute mile? And as far I can tell there isn't a time limit on the push ups and sit ups.

I weigh 250lbs and I'm almost 40 and these requirements aren't why I'm not joining the gestapo.

If they are using military standards, there is a time limit for completing the push-ups and sit-ups. About a minute or two, if I remember correctly. These numbers they're talking about though are all below military standards.
