    Knowing very little about the national guard in particular, I would argue that the standards are there but the enforcement isn’t.

    In the Navy, at least, physical training was never a serious priority except for more specialized commands. The standards were identical, but the commands where PT was emphasized were the only places where a majority of people were fit. There’s way more to it than just standards.
