When I was in basic in the '60s, it was a decent sampling of the male population. (We only had one guy at the absolute bottom of the physical performance totem pole. I even remember his last name to this day. He improved very much by the end.) I can't say "dennis in se pa's" claim of running ten miles and doing 100 pushups was feasible for any of us, but the experience was universally beneficial - except for one guy who was a real criminal type and went AWOL. Our platoon was just a group of random guys at the start and ended up a good cohesive bunch mostly helping each other out by the end.
