This a single event designed to make sure people haven't fucked off the whole Q course. It's not replacing anything.

It exceeds the PT test requirements at Ranger School. If this standard was in place there, it would have an enormous increase in attrition rates.

Everything was always harder in the past, and the new generation EVERY generation is a collection of fuck ups who never had to fight the Apaches the way I did, with breech loaded muskets. The people who have gone through the "weak and watered down SFQC" in the past 20 years have spent years acquitting themselves all over the world and have killed and bled and died in places and in battles that people will be reading about for decades.

The people coming out of the Q course now are no worse off then your generation was. I remember in 2004 the pre-9/11 holdovers screaming to get out of SF and to somewhere safe like SWC, because we were supposed to be teachers, not leading the indig across the assault line into a hail of bullets.

Yeah, some things were harder in the past and some things now are much much easier, just ask the Ranger females.
