Thanks, you would think that they will now advise against this then, so he might be the last one to run without facing an article 15 if he gets hurt.
Therein lies the leeway commanders have in establishing their command climate. Many of the posts I was assigned to or traveled to TDY had off-limits areas in the local community that were not only the seedy parts of town, but also locales frequented for cave diving, hang gliding, etc. It becomes a fine line for an installation or unit commander who has to decide whether or not banning soldiers from say, a local rock climbing attraction will destroy morale and actually impair soldiers from gaining useful skills and enhancing their personal fitness or if that attraction poses an undue risk to service personnel.
I'm pretty sure where I'd come down on the "running with the bulls," thing, but having said that, in Korea, the military actually endorsed the "Korean-American Cowboy Association" and we held rodeos on post...I'm not sure there would've been much difference had a soldier or airman got the horns there, and it did a lot to build ROK-US relationships.
