Everybody was in the last tough training unit....good summation.
When I went to Fort Jackson for basic, we were told the recruits at Fort Leonard Wood were given "stress cards" to give their drill instructors if they felt stressed out. We all got a good laugh out of that. Turns out the recruits from Fort Leonard Wood had heard the same thing about us.
When I was in AIT at Ft. Leonard Wood, I was surprised at how out of shape the Ft. Jackson AIT soldiers were.
Of course, I was in a 20-week MOS (51-T, Surveyor-CADD draftsman-Soil Sampler), and by the time I completed AIT I could do 85 pushups, 85 situps and run 14:25 2 mile (and I was 33 years old at the time). Guess I was in good enough shape by the 10th or 12th week to laugh at and mock the ones who couldn't keep up.:)
