#1 Post-Vietnam PT/PFTS were considered WIMPY by most, + were glad when it was changed.

I'm a'guessin the new standards quietly reflect the influence of NT, espec as per Infantry FCS e.g. MINI-ROBOT FIRE SUPPORT + LOAD CARRIERS.

FUTWAR "BUDDY SYSTEM" = A GRUNT + HIS ROBOT(S).

[FUTURAMA = "DON'T DATE [your] ROBOTS" here].

#2 I remember the "run, dodge, and jump" which we called the "run, trip, and fall". That event was probably responsible for more injuries than any other PT test event. It didn't last long.
