Marine!

I stumbled across this while surfing fitness resources: it's the US Marine Corps physical fitness rules.  The first half is procedural chuff.  A sign of how far the world has come?  There are rules here for handling the physical fitness testing of pregnant Marines.  That's just so cool.  In a war-machine "service guarantees citizenship" kinda way. 

The actual tests and grades come in about halfway through the document.

Hang on. Is that the one which includes an immortal line about cycling CV exercises not being a part of a marine's training because there are absolutely no operational engagements which will require a marine to swim to a shoreline, nick a bicycle, and then peddle for five miles? May have been the RAF training manual but I laughed so hard at that one I almost gave the exercises a try.

And then I didn't.
