General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Hegseth decried 'fat troops.' Then a photo of hefty National Guard soldiers went viral. [View all]HappyH
(117 posts)so daily PT was not really a thing. But we were tested as a unit and our CO and First Sargent made sure that we knew when the test would be and that we knew where the gym was. You got an opportunity to retest if you did not pass, and you got personal attention preparing for your retest, attention that most folks in my unit did not want.
I rode bicycles almost daily to stay in shape. There were miles of little used roads on post and it was a great way to blow off stress.
What confuses me is Hegseth goes on about wanting physical standards for our troops. The standards already exist and they are enforced for active duty personnel. You could look at the brass assembled by trump and hegseth and tell, there were no fat generals in that room.
I think that the National Guard fellows from Texas would look a lot better pretty quickly if they were called up to active duty.
