Hell, we ran 4 miles every morning before chow at Benning during basic. Duck crawled with M14s over our heads at the end of the day. I lost 30 lbs in basic training getting ready for Nam. Best shape I was in...ever! And that includes my college football playing days.
Did you run as a unit in formation?
In 16 weeks, I lost 20 pounds at Fort Knox, summer of 1990.
Skinniest I’d ever been.
