chin-up: aim is not really to see how many you can pull but your
arm strength.
i think anyone of us can come up with lots of scenario that need
arm strength.
sit-up: the abdominal muscle group is one of the important, if not
most important, muscle groups. from load bearing, running, to
almost all activities, abdominal muscles do play a part.
shuttle run: just one example; how about dashing from cover to
cover?
board jump: jumping over drains/pit holes etc?
2.4: play physical or aerobic fitness. if one can't run 2.4 (clean
fatigue) in a decent time, what more with combat load, on mission,
without sleep and proper food?
see lah. get scholars to be in-charge. so freaking myopic that they
can't see beyond their spectacles. or maybe they are just seeing
their future cozy job with fat paycheck.
bastards going to get people killed with all the de-emphasize on
fitness training.
BMT is to get your fitness up so that, when you're in unit, you
will learn the ops.
soc: BMT about 9+ to 10min
OCS sub 8
unit sub 8
love SOC. and i do think the PTIs in OCS are rather reasonable and
good at getting the best out of you (at least for the group i'm
with). enjoyed the training thoroughly .
