Does your unit use loudspeakers for music during APFT 2 mile run?

I know this is done. Just curious how many actually do this. I believe it is allowed because music is for all and nothing is worn on uniform.

I've seen it done when the APFT was on a track. Tracks are boring and you have to have something to keep you entertained while running eight laps.

Agreed!- I have done Army cadences for 1st mile, then switch to Rocky type Eye of the Tiger, and techno dance for the final burst. Many have been happy about it....

I've never seen that.
What I have seen, which was helpful, are "pace runners" for the stragglers.

I recommend it as an experiment. Especially for those on the wire. Maybe just the last lap- Rocky, techno, Avengers... - I like to burst at the end- seconds count!!

I am a civilian now. I don't actually sing cadence while I jog, but I do listen to music. I really like ACDC.
