I want to hear how many pull ups you started out doing in boot camp and how many you could do by the time you graduated.

In 1966 with my 36 inch long arms, starting at a dead hang and doing pull-ups (palms facing away from your chin) not the chin-ups (palms facing toward you) I could only do 3 the then minimum amount on the then PRT (Physical Readiness Test) when I arrived at Bootcamp. By, then time graduation came around I was doing 16.
I can not remember, but I do remember I did better on PT test when I first got there than I did when I left. I was so beat down when I left PI. Maybe it was because when I first got there they scared the crap out of me. I thought I was on another planet.
