Ya'll wanna see a real hoot.......EOD is made to qualify with regular USAF troops by running a timed mile and a half every year. We ran 6 miles a day minimum and did PT for an average 4 hours a day.

Looks like EOD at this unit wanted to make their point. I note how the text made it look a little less in the face of the rest of the wingnuts. LMAO.

If I was in your line of work, I'd want to be real good at running, too. But in quick-and-dirty blow-it-in-place demo work and mine destruction shots, we were taught to walk away from our timefuze shots, lest we stumble or fall to close to our work project. Of course, we had a pretty good idea of how fast our own fuzes burned, or could use a pretty long section of commowire to pull a pullring igniter well outside the likely damage radius of smaller mines or charges. Things would be real different if we were playing by the other peoples rules....

six miles is a light jog to warm up - then run thirty humping a pig.
