Dr. Thomas:

I was searching for physical training sites and came across yours.  I have also read some of the articles you wrote when you were at Fort Benning.  I'm an 11B with over ten years of service.  Your insights into Army physical training history have really opened my eyes.  Thanks for caring about soldiers.  I wish more of our leaders were also reading your articles

Thanks for your email Sarge.

Mediocrity is a powerful force that pulls toward the middle.  The issues that fuel our escalating physical decay have festered for several generations. You Infantry guys might benefit from comparing the 1946 doctrine with the current direction of the NSCA.  The similarities are apparent, and the equipment you would need to implement some of the concepts would cost relatively little.  Come back to the IHPRA site soon. I'll be adding more practical info for physical training in the future.  

Thomas
