Hegseth Speech

Having a son that just finished boot camp and tech school for the Air Force (technically Space Force but they don't have their own boot or tech school) things need to change. Absolute joke when it comes to PT requirements and level of difficulty of the 7 week boot camp. Everyone passes, numerous kids couldn't meet the minimum 20 sit ups in a minute, 40 push ups in 2 minutes and 15 minutes for 1.5 mile run. They have a strict no touching policy and only 2 days of rifle time on the range. These kids are coming out soft.

In the last couple months, Air Force has announced major reform to their boot camp requirements and their overall readiness for all airmen. Speaking for at least the Air Force, they need to change and sounds like the ball is rolling.

Had a friend tell me "who cares if they're fat, so long as they can drop and give you 20 and drag their buddy out of the ditch."

Which they technically can't. AFT is 10 pushups. Drag is 90lbs.

Amusingly, the Air Force has stricter requirements than the Army did until yesterday:

now do that chart with the :ROFLMAO: USMC run times (and distance)

edit: will save the trouble... it's 18 minutes (men) and 21 minutes (women)... but that's for the Corps 3 miles instead of their 2 miles

Most make it. Some don’t. If you’re gonna lead, lead by example.

If Christian Bale, Russel Crowe, Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, Tom Hanks and other Actors can lose/Gain weight for a movie role... I think the Military can work on the same principle, pretty easily.
