If you want to be rumpled and unfit, military is the wrong line of work. Sorry.
Sure it is. Need that chiseled face right? Something that will scare the Ruskies? lol
I am not talking about promoting fat slobs, I am talking about differentiating between people who already passed the requirements for their PT tests. Time to rethink that strategy.
The above poster mentioned a study that states PT scores is what differentiated good leaders from bad. The military tried that for a while in the 00s and early to mid 10s, guess what? It is not working out too well. More commanders are being fired then ever, moral is lowest then it has been in decades, and people are leaving in droves.
