I was thinking, surely its a lot lot easier to pass the 4 Final commando tests in early summer when the temperature is just right, there is little wind, no rain, the ground is sturdy under foot and the light conditions are far better.
This would mean that the Marines that just scrape through the tests would never have passed in the middle of winter when conditions were awful and therefore are not as good.
Should the times be shortened in summer and extended in winter? Or should it just be tough luck?
The other side to the argument is that summer pass outs have endured far worse weather conditions during the bulk of their training, and vice verser.
