    Won't that be just as much TRX exercise? Or twice as much upper body as legs? [edit: i slightly misread your post so ignore that]

    That sounds good, but personally I would do the Military Fitness two days in a row like before, forget the other two and replace them with something like the Boot camp: ropes and straps.

    Though how much physical training is your unit doing? You don't want to overtrain.

     In my experience, unit pt is anything from harmful (just long slow formation runs) to all that you need except maybe working on individual weakspots. I find the nice thing about being a reservist is that I get to run my own pt program. The full military program may be too much for you if your unit is doing its job on the pt side.You may want to forego doing the program and instead just work on what you need.

    I only plot world domination because the cat in my lap tells me to.

    If his unit is only training for the pt test (situps, pushups, timed run) then you have a lot of holes to fill for a complete physical fitness training program. You should supplement but be cautious about overtraining and then suffering from setbacks.  Dont forget to add stretching into your routine. 

    I would add the core-building exercises and stretching at the very least.
