It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Is that to get through MEPS or what the minimum PT standards are to stay in the Marines?

For the Army, admittedly 20+ years ago, so long as you passed the criminal background check, the drug test, and the medical check by the time you got through the MEPS station it was assumed that Basic Training would be where you'd do the physical training to meet the minimum fitness standards.

PT standards for Marines minimum. But even bare minimum is hard in US the obesity rate leader, not factoring in height and weight.

The medical stuff has gotten way more complicated and they can track anything that was reported to a hospital.
