I am in the Navy Reserve currently while having been active duty about two years back. It's true the military allows resting positions, but the wording of the title indicates that resting is not a manly man thing to do. In my opinion, the military fudges it up because there are a good number of people in service who are not able to do the required push-up count without it (mostly on the Navy/Air Force sides).
Using a few breaks in the 'up' position (and no bending whatsoever), I was able to crank out 60 before collapsing. I've been hitting the weights more than focusing on my push-up counts, so this isn't surprising or disappointing for me.
The BuShA owns all!
