Military child care reopening, if your kid can pass this extreme PT test

SAN DIEGO — As a few military child care centers are starting to reopen during the pandemic, a strenuous and challenging PT test for your kids has been implemented for them to be accepted.

With base officials issuing guidance for phased reopening of child development centers, supervisors have teamed up with Green Beret training personnel to create a demanding and vigorous physical training test to determine if a child is worthy. These CDC officials have been brainstorming ways to provide adequate child care for military members that avoids weak babies who can’t lift a 30 lb. kettlebell.

The shortage of base child care facilities and minimal staffing at those that do exist has only been further limited by COVID-19.
