My son is Active Duty US Navy. He says that 90% of the folks on his ship are there because they want to serve their country and are anti DEI/woke BS. He’s the 6th generation to serve his country in uniform. He did say however that many of his Boot Camp shipmates did show up physically out of shape.

40+ years ago, I was an HQ Battery Commander at Fort Bliss...you know, cooks and clerks, over 300 soldiers in all. The PT test pass rate was 98%, 5 out of 300 failed, but they passed on their next opportunity.

How did we do it? We had an hour's worth of PT five days a week. I led calisthenics for 15-20 minutes, followed by a two mile run in formation. I've always thought it was important for my soldiers to see me sweating along with them.

I’m a Navy vet and I sure appreciate to hear that encouraging news. Thank you!
