>>95397731I can't speak for the marines, but in the army everything is very very dictated by the highest levels. Every day the whole schedule is laid out by TRADOC policy. That's three star general level. Or two I'm not an expert.
You can smoke the privates when they do stupid shit, but not very much. Limit of 20 repetitions of an exercise, or 10 for the 8 count pushup. I later found out a lot of the 'punishments' we got when I went through were actually scheduled drill exercises in disguise. No idea how much running they're allowed to make us do, but we did quite a lot of it. Never did anything stupid like MOPP runs, though I see some of the other FORSCOM units on post doing that. Even the chemical school doesn't do fucking MOPP runs, that should tell you how dumb that shit is.
