I know that most if not all soldiers wake at like 6a.m. for physical fitness, I am planning on starting my own workout routines once I’m in but don’t want to over train.

    In some units they used to have it if you maxed your PT test you could come to formation and go on to do your own PT unless it was a group run such as company level or higher.

    During basic 0600 would be sleeping in. Our first formation was usually between 0500-0530. Basic was over 10 years ago for me. After that usually 0630 for PT formation and yes it is mandatory.
