Re: Basic Training
Dear Trooper,
Obviously you are mis-informed...I doubt if you would have voiced an
opinion like that when you were on course. 1. you CAN get released from a
QL2 for poor physical fitness. If you cannot maintain the platoon pace
during physical fitness classes, your section commander has the option to
begin the warning process on your ass. 2. You cannot request your
instructor to do push-ups with you....(another thing i doubt you
did)...however your fitness instructor is REQUIRED to "lead by example" and
do the physical training with you. Maybe you would prefer that we revert
back to the "old school" where the instructors tortured you just because
they could. And, if they didn't particularly like the looks of
you.....they'd take you out behind the gun shed.
I personally (as a basic training instructor) believe that we have come a
long way. We (for the most part) turn out professional, and capable
soldiers.....the best in the world. You have been blessed by having world
class instructors teach you how to be a soldier. Thank your lucky stars you
weren't a student at Cornwallis 15 or 20 years ago.
All I hope is that I will remind you of the all the valuable things they did
teach you., and remind you that Canadian Soldiers are respected worldwide
for their ongoing contribution to the world community.......in spite of
their "poor physical fitness".
Sgt.B.
