PT was mandatory after a day in AIT classrooms. One afternoon, I decided to bug out of PT. As I was skulking toward my quarters, I noticed other young Soldiers evading PT and heading home. I hollered at a bunch of them and said, "Fall In, Right Face, Forward March". Appearing to be on a detail, we successfully marched to the quarters area without being being accosted by cadre.

Basic Training 1996. I had attended a "pre-basic" 3 day course at FT Carson thanks to my reserve unit so I had an idea of what we would be experiencing. Once we got got off the bus and into reception at Leonardwood we were left alone in the reception area full of benches. I looked around and told the guyss/gals around me, "when the Drill sergeants come in jump to your feet with your arms behind your backs!" When the Drill Sergeants came in we all jumped to our feet (minus a few that wouldn't listen).
Apparently the Drills had been watching and saw me... Made me the Platoon guide. Of course I was fired in 3 days so there is that

As a PFCIC... (Hehehe) I lead the entire company formation in PT on a run day. Gave the command of right, FACE, forward, MARCH, and dooooouuuble time, MARCH! I called cadence for 2 miles. I knew then that I could do the 1SG's job. Boy was I wrong!!!
