the just get by attitude is quite prevalent in military ranks, and has been growing in the last 3 years, again mostly due to the fact that the army needs people and doesn't want to get picky about it. new soldiers come to our unit knowing exactly how many repetitions equal 60% but couldn't for the life of them tell you how many they need to max the event, and then they think the commander's goal of 270 or above on the pt test for every soldier is unreasonable.
