Not fit for RTC

The physical standards of Navy boot camp are a joke so there's that. The CFLs don't even check your form and most of them are RDCs who got dropped from C school anyway lol.

If you are not active duty as your status says you are a depper, most RDC's I know and have known are at least E5 and above...no boot is not as intense as the army or marine boot, but most sailors are not out in the battle field on foot either...be careful what you claim as most times you will find you are wrong if you have not been there yet.

I'm curious on how that is going to affect the newer divisions. Not going to confirm nor deny that my RDCs pushed hard with the "no buddy ****ers" thing lol

There is no more of the "No Buddy Effers" mentality - at least not in my division there wasn't from the RDCs. Of course we all said it after taps. But - they definitely have cracked down a lot. There is a staff of about 12-15 people walking around while you do your push-ups/sit-ups and they are checking for form and counting. They have people at the top counting too. We had 2 people get asmoded 2 weeks for cheating (added 11 push-ups) and we had some fail on form as well.
The PT isn't as hard if you are already relatively fit. But for people who the PT Matrix is designer for (people like myself who were completely unfit) the PT they do works great.

Dang they really did change. Push ups and sit ups are easy for me, but I suck at running. Always have been. Basic didn't prepare me well for running either. I'm glad my command has every option available for the run part lol You can swim it, bike it, run it (Track or treadmill are options you can choose), or do it on the elliptical.

Brother Div's RDC would come in before each pfa and say, "who here has been certified to count pushups? So how do you know if he or she did a correct push-up? So count every attempt. But remember your RTC Maxim." And then he would make us repeat our maxim to us but reillerate that we weren't certified to count pushups. And then leave.
