CF National Fitness Test Results

The Toronto Star has a report on the results of the Canadian Forces first national fitness test. Apparently 1,000 failed the test as compared to 47,000 "enlisted men" (I'm not sure what happened to all the officers) who passed.

The failure rates were higher in the Navy, which I think you would expect given that sailors spend so much of there time on ships. Of course this doesn't explain why sailors in Halifax did better than those in BC.

Followup: Canoe also has a similar story about the test. This one mentions that no officers over the rank of Colonel (ie Generals and Admirals) failed the test.
