Except for the dust that sounds like Vermont in March! LOL
Outside my lane here, but I overheard sev'l Norwich cadets (at the Tunbridge Worlds' Fair) having a conversation along these lines (i.e., what should be done to improve PT so it would better represent actual tasks on the battlefield) they seemed to think that adding dips (similar to pulling oneself over a wall), Hindu squats (can't recall why), and carrying a sandfilled duffel bag (simulating a wounded buddy) up sev'l flights of stairs were good ideas. The dips and Hindu squats would, I should think be something that could be easily added, though the duffel bag would require stairs (and I would think, weigh a lot less than a wounded soldier w/ gear.)
Do I understand correctly that the Army tests push ups, but not pull ups and the Marines test pull ups only? Is there a particular reason for this?
TIA
