I remember running the PRT in June of 1965 at MCRD and I did the 3 mile with combat gear in 23 minutes and 45 seconds and that was after doing all the rest of the stuff. I will probably be bragging about that until they cart me away. In those days all I did in off duty hours was run and go through the obstacle course.Good thing too as a couple of months later I was humping a radio with 3rd Recon in Vietnam.Our young people always seem to be up to the task when duty finally becomes an imperative and they put away childish things.
