I retired from the military (Reserve for the last few years) when I turned 60..and did my 60 push ups that day...but running a couple miles relatively fast was getting quite difficult for me.

When I entered the military, I was in great shape already...was used to being told what to do and punished severely if I did not comply...and was happy for a few bucks and three squares. School, sports, and being poor (without social welfare) make me hungry and happy for the opportunity. From the 1st grade until graduation, every student played hard, physical sports at recess for at least an hour. Similarly, in school, everyone ate the same healthy, small portion lunch. No Air conditioning, carpet, and limited heat in school...yet everyone was expected to learn. Time to fix schools...not ruin the military.
