You and I were in the Army the same time.

Look what I found.

To gauge whether a soldier had gained the required aptitude in these physical skills, and was prepared for the demands of battle, the Physical Combat Proficiency Test (PCPT) was created. It consisted of five events: low crawl (40 yards), horizontal ladder/monkey bars (20 feet long), grenade throw (sometimes substituted for a 150-yard man carry during basic training and for combat-support troops), ‘dodge, run, and jump’ (agility run), and a 1-mile run. While completing the test, soldiers were required to wear their combat uniform (sans jacket) and boots.

That's the test I took in BCT at Fort Lewis in summer of '69.

When that deadly price is to be paid, you can sure count on juan, pedro, julio... to step away from their free lunch and start earning it. NOT!
