Here's the situation;
Got a buddy in basic in St Jean Quebec. Going for vehicle tech.
He's not the fittest guy ever; wiry little guy; can run, can ruck, low upper body strength, has struggled with his pushups, but has massively impoved.
Has been sent to warrior twice, now looking at a third time.
He keeps getting sent back to platoons, which promptly fail him on his pushups and send him back to the warrior program.
WTF.
So...warrior is run by PSP, yes? They are giving him their stamp of approval; 19, 20, 25 pushups...He goes back to a platoon, which tests him again, under, as I understand it; different PSP staff, who consistantly fail him; 7, 9, 10 pushups. Sounds like uneven training standards or a deliberate bias against a troop who has been to warrior.
I'm not even going to touch what PSP thinks is a pushup. What is going on here? What are this guy's options? I've trained soldiers for some time now; I have known this guy for years. He is not dogging it, he wants to be there. What recourses does he have? Sounds like textbook grounds for redress to me.
it sounds to me that this guy is being messed with. Either PSP is just passing him through warrior and failing to train him better, or PSP or whoever is either judging on a different standard at the platoon level, or they're simply trying to run him out.
