I'll be training for the Royal Signals, so if you could post the required standards, that would be excellent. I'm guessing as long as I can run 1.5 mile in under 10:30 min I'll be fine, although it concerns me that I achieved 8:57 min at RSC and what the PTIs would think.
What is this RMT Input test? Is it similar to the TST?
Don't have the exact standards to hand, but from memory, R Signals recruits must achieve 10:30min for 1.5 mile run...
The RMT is Representative Military Tasks.. basically, carry 2 water jerrycans over a set distance (60m for R Sigs I think), static lift of an ammo box onto a 1.5m stand (representing a 4 Ton vehicle). Ammo box is about 15Kg, I think. And there is a test involving sit-ups and press ups.... you will find out when you get there

as I can't remember the standards or where it takes place in relation to the RMTs.
If you are running 1.5 miles in 9 minutes I wouldn't worry too much about it

Although I'm not sure what you mean when you ask what the PTIs would think? You'll find there is a great variety in time between everyone in your troop. Just remember its a best effort... and the results will be put into your weekly report

So, top tip is to put in 100% effort, and then try to beat your score the next time. Your section commander will definitely be looking for an improvement....
hope this helps,
