The officer must set the performance standard for the troops. In boot camp my drill instructor did everything we did, better.
Your DI was an Enlisted man.. of course he was supposed to do everything better.
I expect officers to be smarter, not stronger than the troops.
That notwithstanding, I certainly don't want the Marines or any other armed forces branch to lower physical standards because I would want the Platoon Leader or Company Commander to be able to keep up with the troops in any possible situation. The Officers should be every bit as strong as the troops and smarter in the arts of war as well.
