A 7 min mile would pass most special forces (selection) requirements around the world. For BUD/S (Navy Seals), it seems like a 1.5 mile run is part of the physical screening test, a 10m30s time would put you 10 seconds from the "competitive category". Minimum requirement is 11m And from my memory, that was roughly the same requirements in my country for most SOF positions. But, of course, those screening tests aren't necessarily done under ideal conditions. But if you can do a 7 min mile, it's not your conditioning that will stop you. You should be able to pass the minimum requirements for every position in the military.
