About this episode
Here are some latest updates on the US state of military UNreadiness. I go over current rejection rates and injury issues within the first few months of training with Army recruits. Points made on the history of PE and quality of movement focus from "classical PE training" vs. current physical "illiteracy" with our 18-29-year-olds.
