Armed forces bleep test standards (RAF, Army, Navy)
The forces use the 20m multi-stage fitness test at officer selection, but the standards vary by service and role, and some entry routes have changed recently.

| RAF Officer (Cranwell) | 20m 9.10 | Age and sex banded; 9.10 is the 17–24 male green standard. |
| Army Officer | 20m 10.2 | Officer selection. Note: soldier entry moved to a 2km run in Nov 2025. |
| Royal Marines Officer | 20m 10.8 | Among the highest shuttle standards. |

bleep test with a 2km run in November 2025, officers still run the MSFT. Royal Navy ratings use a
2.4km treadmill run. Always confirm the current test for your specific route.
