I can finish that route. but I cleaned out meters and trimmed bushs.larry didn't do that. the riomar route I have tomorrow is one of his old ones. I have started to do that to that route as well.

more of a frustration and also the rain will be a reason to move fast. it has been raining hard that we are in a flood watch/warning. I know that a block of seagrove west will be flooded enough to where I wont get the reads. its about five meters. no big deal.
 
Uhm, you're definite not old ! (Old is 137-1/2 , and you're no where close to that!)

I have no doubts you'll pass.

when you have soldiers that were born after you turned 21, it does make one feel old. the reason im taking the pt test ahead of schedule is too grade the main body next month.

the sad thing is that we have and had had a pt failure problem since I joined this unit nearly 20 years ago and because of army regs we have a really small pool of ncos that have passed the test and can grade others.

That's really sad. Have the regs become stricter?

not by much. the youth can still pass with the same standards as I had to then, it was tightened up on my age group and the 27-31 age group and the 32-36.

Were the regs tightened to keep everyone in shape.... or to eliminate some of the older personnel?

both, pt tests to me are one of many ways that army does reduce its size. pt as it is done is the basics of fitness needed and in the manuals its for the idea of stress reduction, not to train to fight as in what is really needed. but that is a long discussion

I hadn't thought about the stress reduction aspect. I can see that, tho.

the older way of war was that one didn't do pt in country. that isn't the case with the time I was there. we did pt. it wasn't a priority as it was missions first then when we had the time we did pt.
 
Still, pt does help to keep one in shape, so that element of a mission would be better.
