front back go's, supine bicycle, pushups, what's the exercise that when you were in basic or OCS that made you smile on the inside?

Is this a trick question or a joke? Can't recall ever smiling on the inside... But supine bicycle when it's hot and you're in Sandy terrain. Sit-ups or flutter kicks when the ground is wet all seem pretty miserable to me

I just notice that I get weird satisfaction from push ups even if I can't do them all... It's weird. I was kind of curious if anyone else had a similar qwerk

None of them i was to busy trying to figure out how to not get in this position again to find any inner humor about it.

Air Assault School had pretty brutal smoke sessions that consisted of cherry pickers, overhead clappers, body squats, leg lifts, and air assault (diamond) push-ups in rocks.
