No, I specifically said "I guess you didn't read the other article." I thought it was obvious that you did read Neal's link. The "other" article was linked right there in the first one, so I read it as a matter of course.

Assuming the detail in the article that you posted is correct it seems that she did exceed even the younger recruits which that would be pretty good.I dont think it means that the Army basic is too easy just that this woman was in better shape than average.I mean look at younger people these days(than my self mid 30s self) a lot of them really do not do a lot of physical activity so Basic is not easy for them PT wise unless they are an athlete.

I completely agree. I'm almost 62 now and I'm in better shape than I was at 51, though that's not saying much. Yes, she seems to be in great shape, as are a lot of people her age and mine. I'm working on it, because I still play music and I'm tired of seeing pictures of myself looking like the Michelin man. I only responded the way I did because of your original suggestion that they gaver her special preference, which they didn't.
