It's the Army, not Harvard College.

Anyways, if my anecdotal experience interacting with the military is accurate, the main requirement for being an Officer is enjoying LOTR/super hero/Sparta movies. Being able to do pull-ups or string together coherent sentences are less important.

If you want to know what's actually valued in the military, look at the names of recent defense contract startups. That tells you everything you need to know.

Your entire comment is evidence of the contrary.
