The program is divided into five
phases, calculated to develop
strength, aggressive spirit, tough-
ness, confidence and endurance.

Most. spectacular of the training
sections is the “confidence course.”
The men themselves build towering
apparatus, some of which stands 540
feet high. Its purpose is to give
young men confidence in their own
abilities to meet any situation re-
quiring physical skill and mental
alacrity,

The infantrymen also receive
work daily on a “strength course.”
They use discarded tin cans filled
with cement and combined with old
gaspipe into weight-lifting bar bells;
‘\clothesline rope for skipping exer-
cises; a wooden “roman chair,” to
harden stomach muscles and several
others.

Additional sections include work
with heavy logs in group exercises,
“dirty fighting” instruction and a
daily cross-country mile run,
