ILA staffer goes thru basic training -- at age 57

Posted by David Hardy · 17 October 2011 11:44 AM

Here's the article. Mark Overstreet is an ILA researcher.

"Completing 70 push-ups, 75 sit-ups and clocking a 13-minute, 40-second two-mile run all good for 340 points, Overstreet easily breezed through his physical training test. But then this is a man who said he takes care of himself and runs marathons at an age when many Americans would rather drive that far or stay home. He then qualified expert with his rifle, though again not a surprise for a man who competed in inter-service competitions with the Navy Reserve shooting team.
. . . . .
{The battalion commander said] "Actually, it's been pretty easy to motivate them when there's someone out-running and out-shooting them. When some of them are 30 or 40 years younger than that person, the young Soldiers get the idea they don't want to be the one lagging behind," he said.
