    Or a medical profile! The army has an entire battalion full of people that were injured in boot camp waiting to either process out or recycle. They stand around getting bitched at all day while they pick weeds and wash vehicles.

        Yeah, I dislocated my shoulder on day 2 or 3 of basic and kept my mouth shut. I definitely did not want to get held and recycled. It was the third time it had happened, and it was very brief, so I just dealt with it.

            Solid.. My first 2 mile in basic, which was also the first time I ever ran 2 miles straight (well, I walked some), was like 20 min.. It took me 4 months to get it down to the 13's, but most of that was actually in AIT. We ran a lot more there than in basic.

            Airborne school will run your ass off, in a big way, from what I understand. At least back when I was in, they double-timed everywhere. Pretty much no walking occurred outside.

              Keep it up troop. My best was 13:43. It was the only time I really gave a damn about my time because I was trying to max the PT test and force my promotion to Sgt.

              But with those kinds of times, you'll find that PT is MUCH easier in Basic. The hard part is the head games they'll play. Just remember this, if they ask for a volunteer, BE THE FIRST to volunteer. More than 50% of the time, they'll pick someone else to do it.. haha..

                      You're in for some of the most difficult days of your life...but, if you make it through, you will be better than all these chumps on here. JK.
                      Thanks for the commitment to our country. [emoji106]

                      Craig, my best time in the 2mi was 10:31. When I ran that I got lapped by a kid from Alaska. [emoji15]

                          No, I didn't. I got to Airborne school and freaked. I couldn't do it so I got sent to Camp Greaves as punishment for dropping out. I have my CIB though so there's that. I will tell you that getting your blue cord and crossed rifles will be the happiest day of your life.

                          Until you get your short tab.

                                One of my buddies ran at that pace.. That's just ridiculous to me, lol. Under 7 minutes per mile was plenty for me. I could hit low 6 minute range on the first mile but would then fall on my face on the second. I actually ran the 2 mile slower doing that. Learning to try and keep the same pace the entire run helped me a lot.

                                As long as I was comfortably above the 60 point mark I was happy (that was like 16 min when I was in). I knew I wasn't staying in for a career, and promotion points for E5 were almost always maxed for my MOS.
