Do you know that there is a physical fitness test required for applicants? It consists of a timed run, pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. You must meet the standard which they set for women. (I’m sure you can google the requirements.) If you have not done sports, it may be a challenge to meet the criteria, so I suggest you start on a conditioning regime soon if you are a junior. The test is done at your local AFB or army base, usually in early fall of your senior year.

Sports are considered great venues for demonstrated leadership; clubs may not be considered as good indicators of toughness and grit. That said, if you do well with the summer army program, that may prove you can keep up. Good luck!
