YOU are the 1SG. You walk outside for PT and find that it is pouring rain. What do you do?

Today is a rainy day in tropical Okinawa, and as I ran through my BN footprint, I think I seen each of these responses. What would YOU do?

I must say of all the PT I've done in my career, most I can't remember. But I have never forgotten a PT session or an APFT in the rain. It was some of the most memorable moments and great team building and camaraderie.
It's like "Man this sucks, but we are all out here sucking it up!" Great moments. (just to clarify, I'm talking about big old fat rain, not drizzles)
So to answer your question, do PT.

I agree 100%!! Nothing builds camaraderie like everyone enduring the same suckage! And it is honestly some of the greatest fun! THESE are the moments we will all talk about sitting around the fireplace at the Old Soldier's Home!

I agree with " if it aint raining,we aint training" fort knox was the best bct experiance anyone could ask for we low crawled high crawled flipped to our backs push ups and sit ups in the rain and muck.If you cant hack it get your jacket rain dont kill you mud cant stop you so why cancle pt just be ause of soaked behind the ears snot nose that needs to call mamma I say hell no bring on the rain and execute the pain because the enemy doesnt call off an attack just because of rain so why stop training just saying and if i can at 44 then no reason why those younger cant suck it up and push on

Go stand in front of the deepest puddle and yell "Fall In".

I may be guilty of this, except I stood in the puddle. Fall In was followed by front-back-go

Good point. Good leaders should be in the puddle with the troops.

Summer storms at Ft. Stewart ALWAYS called for grass drills and in the deepest puddles we could find! LOL
