I think this story has been out for a while, but it's getting some buzz on the Internet. Just curious what you new Marines think about this new PT regimen and if the Corps has already incorporated...
Sounds like the Army is trying to play catch up to our CFT that we've been doing for a few years now.
Exactly, have been in both services. You are right, the Army also seems to base their height an weight requirements on their demand for troop strength. I live just outside the gates of Ft. Hood, Tx and I have never seen more out of shape soldiers. They have to keep up their numbers in order to be able to complete their rotations schedules. It is a sad time for those folks doing back to back rotations but the quality of soldiers is what is really suffering.
