I would use these as general guidelines, but remember it will depend on which branch you serve. Marine boot will be a bit tougher than Air Force or Navy boot.

Run a near 6:15/6:20 or sub 6 minute mile.
Be capable of running 5 miles. (No real time limit just keep it above fast walking)
60 push ups would be a good start
5 pull ups
60 situps

If you can do those you'll be in great shape. Unless you're gunning to be in a branch of the special forces you won't get any special medals for being the most in shape. You just want to be in average or above average shape. No need to be the fastest or strongest. You'll just stand out which is a big no no.
