Looking at the physical agility test by clicking on the link, it says that for a male applicant age 60-69, I am 61; it goes like so;

run a mile in 17:49 minutes

.65 unknown exercise.....probably a 65-lb benchpress(?)

18 sit-ups

9 push-ups
.................

And, that is probably just the introductory test that one must take before going further with the application and interview.

18-sit-ups........for someone in their sixties, that seems like it is probably a little strenuous. It's interesting that the Marine Patrol seems to place some pretty big hurdles at the entrance to the applicant by starting them off with a demanding psysical fitness test.
