Came across a posting on Digg about the physical fitness standards required to become a Navy Seal .... not that I was planning on doing that anytime soon. Surprisingly, the first phase actually looks like with some serious training I might actually have a chance of getting through some of it without a major coronary incident. That is, until I'd get to the drown proofing test, where I'd probably just sink like a stone. But phase two - 5 1/2 miles in the ocean? Yeah, maybe on the deck of a nice sailboat with a Mai Tai in my hand.
