I guess what I'd like to know, was the track asphalt, or was it that ground up rubber stuff? The infantry is pretty hardcore, and I wouldn't have made my Marines bear crawl on asphalt. If the idea behind the exercise is pain, I can cause that without causing physical injury. I agree, bear crawls on the practice field would have made more sense.
Go outside and do stuff.

What would have been wrong with using a football field for the bear crawl exercise? The coach sounds like he is an idiot. …. We do things different down here… how’s a boy going to have hands of leather in 8th grade if you don’t start removing layers of skin in the 6th

Forgive my ignorance, I really don't know. Is it actually hot enough in Texas right now for asphalt to be burning skin? I'm still burning wood. .. in the 90’s …. But we’d be picking pea gravel out of our skin after football practice…. Getting a little hurt was part of the training Today's High ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/05/full-22754-258576-img_20250522_171559706_hdr.jpg)

My marine buddy used to hog hunt every weekend, he said it's way less work to go home with a hog than it is to go home with a model, and the end result is the same.
I still haven't convinced myself that he was right, but he sure seemed to have fun with it.

Lady asked him if it was true that Marines have been helping big ladies get loving since 1775? He said no ma’am, big ladies have been helping Marines get loving since 1775.

Never seen that interview, but that's accurate! Marines are interesting creatures on a friday night after a few beers.

Not sure football is all that hard. Lots of standing around in football. Takes 4 hours to play 60 minutes of actual football.
I’ll have beer on ice, fresh outta popcorn.

One thing Texas seems to consistently do right is their football stadiums. If you could only see what our "stadium" looks like. We don't even play 11 man ball, we play 8 man.
