    "Some tool" being a PTI or the CO?? Either way, fitness is an integral part of being in the army and unless said tool made squaddies do the phys the majority would just sit in their scratchers getting fatter!

    Im in my 40s now and am fitter than when I was in my 20s. Dont know why it happened but I do enjoy phys a lot more now, and I really enjoy walking down a High St and sneering at the morbidly obese. It's my aim to grow into a very old, cantankerous, grumpy(er) old letch, and I'll need my CV to be on form to chase the young fillies.

    Exactly, I always wore the same t-shirt for the 1 1/2 mile run every 6 months, it said "Semi-Annual PTI Job Justification Run". They weren't too fond of me for some reason...

    Cast your eye over the ages (and genders) of the runners in the Edale Skyline fell race

    Fellrunner » Results
    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.
