Excellent post..thanks for the wise words, and common sense. As you said,today, as it has been for years..the military is proactive about seeing that troops stay hydrated. And all the dumb stuff that used to go on has long been stopped cold.

When I was going through Quantico in 68, the SNCOs were still having nightmares about the decade prior episode where where some DIs marched a platoon through the swamp and several died of exposure.

When I played ball in HS and college..coaches wouldn't allow us to drink during practice....it was a mark of weakness. Bear Bryant was famous for that. It's amazing that half of the SEC football teams of the 50's didn't drop dead during summer camp.
