Indian runs are when you take you squad, platton, whnatever, and form 2 lines, one on each side of the road, you run at a jogging pace then the 2 guys in the back break into the middle and race to the front, one they get in the front the next two do the same thing. Also called last man up run.

grass drills= all kinds of stupid *** exercies you can do in the grass. Crabwalks, front back go's, carrys.

Cherry pickers are when you reach out your arms to the side and make grabbing motions with your fingers, it gets old.

Not sure what ball breakers are.

ZING!

I'd rather get smoked for a couple hours than get an LOR. Plus I think troops learn more with their nose in the mud than they do in an office.

In my squadron, it seems like they just strip you of rank when you get in trouble. I see so many dudes that get busted down from LCPL to PVT.

That's a pretty retarded statement. PT is only pt when it's actually being constructive to conditioning and building your muscle strength or stamina. Once you go beyond that point, its damage, therefor a punishment. Too many big words?

Yes, gotta love the notion of physical exercise that is more damaging than productive. After putting a soldier through that one can then punish them for failing pt tests.
