About Korean Marine Corps Fitness Certification Standards
The Korean Marine Corps fitness certification consists of three events: push-ups, sit-ups, and a 3km run. Grades are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and the lowest event grade determines the overall grade. Marine Corps standards are generally higher than Army standards.
Standards vary by age group and gender. This calculator is based on publicly available Marine Corps fitness tables. Always verify against the latest official circular before your test.
