No, none of my DS's ever looked like the OP. Also, if you want to catch a glimpse of Ft. Sill, watch In The Army Now with Paulie Shore. It's where they'd filmed the Basic Training scenes. I gave you my back story so you can see that I'm a stickler for honesty. I could have told you I'm currently a SEAL typing this from a hide in Iraq.
Basic Combat Training.
Keep in mind the three parts of the PT test: The push-up, the sit-up, and the two mile run. Almost all exercises in BCT related to those three tests. Occasionally there were some slightly different exercises, but very rarely.
For sit-ups there were mainly the sit-up, the crunch, and the flutter kick. You know what the sit-up and the crunch are, but let me explain the flutter kick for you. You lay on your back with your hands under your butt, raise your feet six inches or so off the ground, and scissor your legs up and down lifting your feet at least a foot and a half off the ground, keeping your feet more than six inches off the ground at all times. Occasionally the DS would have raise both feet together to a vertical position and hold it for a half a minute or less.
T-bones. This is a weirder one. You place your hands on the ground behind you, and your feet out slightly in front; as if you were about to crab walk. Then on a four count (everything is done on a four count, i.e. push-ups are down, 1, up, 2, down, 3, up, FOUR!!!), you kick your legs forward, out to either side, back to the middle, and back towards your body.
