S-Steven -. Supply Chain Operator
The basic requirements for joining as a Paratrooper are:
- Mid Thigh Pull 76kg
- Medicine Ball Throw 3.1m
- MSFT (beep test) level 11.03
As long as you can complete these you'll be in a good position and the training team will be able to develop you. I'd recommend that you get to a level where you can complete these requirements without any worry of failing. We can't offer specific training advice on here, but if you'd like guidance for training to meet these standards you should talk to a Personal Trainer at your gym who should be able to provide you with bespoke training plans and advice.
Good luck!
