TWO
Physical Training Instructors at RAAF Base Tindal coordinated
and conducted a military Physical Training (PT) display at the
recent annual Katherine show.
Sergeant Steve Weaver and Corporal Tony Green put together the
display to give the public an understanding of the types of PT
members at the base undertake on a weekly basis.
The main focus of PT at Tindal is on operational fitness, delivered
through a variety of lessons based around simulating the deployed
field environment and some less strenuous lessons similar to civilian
fitness classes.
During the display the PTIs put a team of Defence personnel through
their paces in a modified obstacle course, conducted a military
lifting class with large logs, demonstrated some unarmed combat
techniques they also completed a circuit class which was more
aligned to a civilian fitness class.
Without a doubt one of the most spectacular displays was that
of the truck exit. The display was very well received with many
positive comments coming from the public at the conclusion of
the display.
The PTIs would like to thank all those that volunteered their
time to perform in the team.
