What is the difference between i.t and I.t.e?

IT is limited in how what exercises they can do, how many of each exercise can be done, and how long the session can last. RDC's are issued orange cards that list the training regulations, exercises, and number for each... they have to pull the card out and display it during IT. IT can be anywhere from 1 recruit to the entire division. ITE is division-wide... consists of more exercises, more reps, and longer time... it's also heavily monitored due to the "hazing incident" that occurred back in the summer of '12.

Your RDC may or may not do ITE... it depends on their level of motivation.

If you don't mind what are some examples of exercises from both forms of I.t

It's the basics... jumping jacks, 10-count body builders, push-ups, squats, leaning rest. There are only so many you can do, and a limit to the number of each. I used to have an orange card, but I lost it moving between various commands...

Also, while limited in what exercises they can make you do, some RDCs like to mix things by switching from push ups to running in place and back faster than you can actually stand up or get down.

Mine loved to wait until we'd done 45/50 jumping jacks to point out that one recruit had fallen behind and we'd start over from 0... hooyah, zero!

Haha my RDC preferred really slow push ups while lecturing us about how we'd failed every sailor since 1775 and weren't worthy to wear the uniform.
