Its the safety record and not really about the training. my friend from the old days told me that now we do chin up but at their time they must to marine style chin up, which you have to do a normal chin up den after u have to push your body up until the chin is below your waist and your upper body above the bar like gymnastic. But the dangerous part is that you have to count out loud or u have to redo and so this shag guy who didn't close his mouth and keep his tongue short, fell down the bar with his mouth hitting the chin up bar. My old friend was behind him and saw a piece of tongue on the floor.
Another story was told by my CSM was that army in the olden days use life rounds and they have to draw rounds in the morning and walk around with rifle and real bullets until the day ends. Then one company was doing some drills and have to put their rifle from a high alert position to the ground but instead of putting it on the ground, someone slam it on the ground. I don't have to say what happen and this is the story why you cannot drop your weapon.
