Now get down and give me 50!  |
Ha! Right now at my age, I doubt I could give you 50. Haven't even tried in a long time. I was in better shape and more athletic than almost everybody in my company during basic. I went through at Ft. Ord, and thought basic training was somewhat of a joke. We didn't have to run hardly anywhere. In fact I got our platoon together to make laps of the barracks in the evenings, and the cadre Sgts. put a stop to that.
