For the Preparation Drills in PRT, where is it in the regulation that states you have to do equal repetitions?

Nothing says you really have to do anything. An FM is a guide, not a reg. You're a Sergeant, can't you research a reg?

I researched the regulation actually. I am not dumb. Just asking for input if anyone knew where it might say. I know a lot about PRT and have always been told that if you do 5 reps of one drill you have to do 5 of all of them but I couldn't find it in the reg so I asked a legitimate question.

Doesn't say it word for word in FM 7-22. Common sense comes into effect in this situation. Why do 5 reps of the squat bender and then do 10 of the windmill??? What is the benefit? Just stick to FM 7-22, that's what's it's for.

Reference FM 7-22 chapter 8. 5-10 reps done at a slow cadence, excluding the high jumper and pushup which are done at a moderate cadence. The reps are based off of whichever phase of PRT your unit/platoon/squad is currently in. No mention is made of having to an even or odd number in between 5-10 reps.

Your the NCO in charge of prt for that day, YOU are the instructor, no one but the 1sg or commander (or higher) could/should interrupt your pet session because of a number of repititions. As SFC Boyd stated, the fm is just a guide, but you can do however many reps you want.
