Questions
Is SUV or FSK harder to get into?
The two tests have no directly comparable events, so the minimums cannot be ranked against each other. These are only the published fitness minimums; selection itself, medical and other requirements differ, and passing the minimum does not guarantee selection.
How do the SUV and FSK fitness tests differ?
SUV: 2 events (circuit, march 10k). FSK: 7 events (hang-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, back ext, rundeløp, march 30k, swim 400).
Does SUV or FSK pay more?
SUV: €1,493–€1,719/month; FSK: NOK 470,000/year (default scenarios, gross). The amounts are in different currencies and depend on taxes and cost of living, so we do not rank them.
