That BG is one sorry-assed excuse for an officer. Fails to meet his own low standards. Obviously forgot “Lead by Example”. I wonder how many troops in his food chain were busted for failure to report or meet standards.
Bet he just squeaked by on body fat (much less height & weight), and only made minimums on PT score.
As an over-50 USAR LTC, I made it a point to exceed the max pushup & sit up scores on the 27-31 scale (toughest scoring). Having injured a knee, I also routinely passed 20-somethings, and completed my 2.5-mile walk before they finished their 2 mile run.
Was always amazed at how many could/would not use the entire 2 minutes spoofed for pushups & sit ups, settling for bare minimums.
I’m curious, can all the lady cops pass the test?
I’m curious, can all the lady NG, I mean pass the test?
That may have been then, but....
“When my NG Infantry unit was in-country in 2005-2006, we were landowners over more territory and had more troops in-country than the Active Component. Held our own, performed the mission, and our PT average was at or above our Active Component brothers.
Same when we were back there in 2007-2008”.
Glad to hear it. I have to wonder if that standard has been maintained post-war.
Depends on the unit. I’ve seen hard-corps units in both active and reserve components, and seen assed-up units in both as well.
Which branch of service?
