Is it okay to use a "smoke" session as corrective training? What creative exercise did you hate the most?

No because just imagine a PT stud who has no issue with pt. That soldier would have no issues being smoked its better to address the actual issue if a soldier failed his pt test hell why not smoke them they need to get better but if a soldier is late they need to report early

I think physical corrective training is appropriate in some situations. The worst corrective training I ever received was in Basic Training at Ft. Benning, GA. The Drill Sergeant locked the door, told us to put on all of our MOPP Gear, and made us run around the bay. Beyond being hot and sweaty inside the MOPP Gear I could never seem to get enough air through the filter to catch my breath. A close second is the 620 Jumping Jacks we did during RAP week.

In basic one of the soldiers in my platoon fell asleep while in prone position during a security stop while marching to the M16 range, and the drill Sgt snatched his weapon. For the rest of the march we had to hold the weapon above our head and once we reached the range we did rifle pt.

It's an entertaining way to create overuse injuries, but that's about it.

I can only appreciate corrective training only if I can control or influence the people who caused it. That is what you can call peer pressure. It happens a lot in an MP line unit where soldiers have to pull more duty according to a schedule because others are not fully capable even though they are in a slot which requires them pull the same duty as everyone else. When I tell soldiers they are working more than they should because others are not qualified for what ever reason they sort of become infuriated.

SFC (Join to see) Did you copy: SSG Warren Swan was always in the wrong place, at the wrong time and in the wrong uniform w/o his prescribed equipment ?

What ever happen to creativity? NCO’s are normally creative in their “Corrective Training”. It didn’t affect me one way or the other to have troops either “Duck Walk” up and down the company street or get in the Dying Cockroach position until everyone was physically wasted. Rest assured slackers would no longer be slackers due to peer pressure.
