What's the most physically demanding training you've been a part in the military?

I've partaken in several training events that just broke me off. I'd have to say the one of the worst would have to be after a grueling field problem, and made worse by the fact that everyone was (or thought that they were) already completely smoked. As we finished packing, we were told to exfil down a road until we were picked up. 20 miles later was probably the happiest I've ever been to see a white Chevy van in my life.

One of the most physically demanding training I have ever been in while in the military was when I was stationed in Ft Bliss Texas.

We had an NCO take the measure during this:

We had an SFC acting as 1sgt, whom would make the entire company run PT, at a distance no one knew, but it was not a normal run.

I fell out many time but every day it was remedial PT for me an a few others.

At the end I finally made it. several times.

When the NCO followed us in his POV, he read 25 miles as he told me personally.

This was an every day thing every morning in our combat boots.

I was transferred to D Co. dues to me being needed there for commo and running the shop.

Shortly a few weeks later, it turned out that this SFC was more then reprimanded, he was court-martial and degraded to PFC.

Mine would have to be the first five miler I had after coming off knee surgery. One of the best PSGs from 3/75 pushed me more than I ever thought I was able to be pushed and was still able to complete in under 40 mins. Still talk to that great NCO.
