Are you tougher than a Spaatz Cadet?

[Devil Doc]

Am I tougher than a Spaatz Cadet?

Define Tough?

Do I know more than a Spaatz Cadet?

Depends?

Am I going to Challenge this?

Prolly Not?

Why? Because I know my Boundries, plus, let the younginns do all the work, im more like a Supervisor/Facillitator anyway

There is only one former Spaatzen and he had his award revoked due to his criminal activity, murder.  Otherwise there are no former Spaatzen, it's for life.

Is a 40 year old man tougher than a young 20 year old man at the peak of his physical performance, regardless of what you call him?

Nope.  Silly concept.

Not at all silly.  I know a particular Army WO Air Force MSgt who is 50 40 and in top physical shape; in fact, much better physical shape than many of the brand new 19- to 20-year-old Marines I know.  And without doubt probably in far better shape than your average American 20-year-old.

FTFY 

Seriously, conditioning needs to be considered.  20 years ago, as a 20 year old grunt, I was in good shape, but I was not conditioned.  I was always impressed with the late 30, early 40 Senior NCO who could do what I could, but seem less fatigued.  Today, I'm that Senior NCO.

In my unit, we've got thin Airmen (and a lot of big'uns), but the thin ones aren't in shape.  I see guys ALL THE TIME that have 32" waists, but can't do push-ups, sit-ups, or run.  And God forgid strap a ruck to their back.

Roger that Master Sergeant.  :clap:

Makes sense, doesn't it.  But to follow the Boy Scouts' lead in this theme, the current Eagle Scouts are competing against former Boy Scouts who didn't achieve Eagle Scout status.  In fact, some of the adults didn't make it but a year or two in the Scouting program.

So to follow along the same lines as Are you tougher than a Boys Scout, we'd have to keep that candidates as those who did not achieve Spaatz status.
