Title: Can drill tests be done on PT Days, or only in-uniform (BDU or Blues).
Post by: Herman_Snerd on September 07, 2017, 04:57:39 PM
Can drill tests be completed on days when the unit is in PT gear, or must these drill tests be completed on days when the unit is in either BDUs or blues?

Thanks!

You can test drill whenever and wherever you have enough cadets to accomplish the requirements.

This is a good question to ask your chain of command.  They may only do drill tests at certain times and not every meeting.

The only problem with doing drill in PT gear is that pivot maneuvers are harder to do in tennis shoes.
Other then that, knock yourself out!

Not with any level of proficiency.

Tennis shoe vs asphalt = lots of drag.

Certainly not optimum, but PT isn't always done outside.

Also no real reason dress shoes or boots couldn't be changed into just for drill on a PT night.
