APFU Pants: Why do I have to take them off when it's between 35-50° F?

Ok Gunner SGT. first sergeant never run pt I know because I've sat in that seat. And he don't tell the Warrants what to do. If the Co put out directions for pt WHICH THEY NEVER DO, he would let us know first.

Never say never. During BN runs, our 1SG always dictated the uniform and led the formation. I can't imagine it would be very professional to watch your Soldiers strip down to shorts while you, the Officers, stand in the back, nice and warm in their pants. It's not about who out ranks who. It's about unity of the formation and leading from the front (in regards to why a warrant would listen to a 1SG).

Because a 1SG runs PT formation (Training). I don't get why warrants really think they have so much power, especially over the 1SG. Go stand outside the company, look at the sign in front, who's name is on there? The CO and 1SG. Just fall in and nod your head north and south, you don't want to get in a pissing match with them.

Last I knew, the 1SG developed the training plan and that little CPT you report to Chief, signed it off. Professionalism of some WO's used to crack me up at times having grown up the dependent of a highly professional one, and then seeing as a troop myself. You gave up the stripes to become a WO. Didn't mean you had to give up being a troop. Does a WO have to be at PT, nope, only if his leadership is... However that said, the formation is being run by the 1SG for the CO. If the CO doesn't require his staff, or other officers attendance, because as Officers they are expected to be set for the PT test, then so be it. But seeing that WO in the back of the formation shows that the WO is not above being a soldier. Being Senior to the 1SG, I always heard our 1SG dismiss those WO's in attendance if they chose, but they were always welcome. Mind you, few WO ever showed or even stayed. But when they did, it was true teamwork, leadership and outstanding selfless service for his team to see him/her working out and maintaining the PT standards. Besides, who used to give you that PT test - damn sure wasn't that CO. It was that 1SG in a properly run company! To the SFC, will a 1SG ever tell a WO they have to do something in public - probably not. But they'd prolly have a meeting behind closed doors, and I guarantee there will be a mutual understanding. If any of you have ever seen "We Were Soldiers", remember the part where Mel Gibson told his staff that the SGM only answered to him and him alone - well, a good CO would probably ensure his officers were well aware of that one and the WO's respected it! WO are above a 1SG in both grade and rank, but there is damn sure some respect among one another for it is the 1SG's company and that CO had better back that ass up!!!

The corps never paid us to think with common sense, devil... hahaha but, that was my same sentiments as well

Well at some duty stationed you still had to do PT until it was -20 not including the wind chill factor! The military mindset is pretty stupid at times! Just saying!

I figured. I was so blindly looking for logic haha
