Basic Training
 

Anybody watch this show on the history channel. I think its an entertaining show and to see the pyhsical requirements is interesting. But i cant believe some people cant do some of the PT. That one guy cant do 32 pushups in 2 mins. 2 mins holy crap and u can take a break. 58 situps in 2 mins. Come on. Its so damn easy. The only part i can understand trouble is with the 2 miles in 16 mins cause i cant run for shit. Also that show Mail Call is pretty cool. The guy from Full Metal Jacket host it.

I think it is a great show, so far it is really entertaining, and hey bean give'm a break not everyone is superman.

I guess ur right Pfc. Not everyone can be as strong as us. Those weaklings. :evil:

DAMN i missed it last night :evil:

I want that channel. Stupid Basic cable...

I just did 5 push ups, think I should be on Basic Training 2?

Some of those recruits are funnier than the guys in the comedy "Stripes" :lol:

Why do people act stupid when they know the Sarge is going to be on their case???


About Mail Call, wasn't that guy also the drill sergeant in the "Space Above and Beyond" pilot episode?

that was funny shit: "when do we get our planes"
"PLANES? I AM AFRAID OF YOU IN A SIMULATOR!"

i can do about 90 pushups in 2 minutes witha break god what am i a seal? 58 situps? oh thats a toughie. the running wouldnt be that easy if you prepared for it. i thought that i wasnt fit enough to be in the army but now i wanan challenge myself with the marines

I like mail call!

yeah, that show is cool :)

i espically liked the explanation of the mae west...or was it the pamela anderson? :lol:

its a cool show because it is interactive, and gives sort of a hands on look as an explanation...plus the guy who hosts the show is funny :D

the real problem I have with their fitness req. is that women do about 1/3 of what men do.
In the foxholes the wounded buddy that you must drag to safety will not become 1/3 as heavy because you are a woman.
this equal rights crap is really hurting the army, in my opinion.

what a wise man. that is so true. your workload doesnt become lighter just because your a woman. if your ina hand tohand fight they arnt gonna go easy because your a woman. what a bunch of shit

it's politics, can you imagine what those idiot "organizations" like NOW would say if women had to work as hard as men? "they're making them work hard just because they're women!" well no shit sweetheart what do you think the military is a fucking poker game?

id like to see you out at basic and doing all that stuff. good luck!

i could do it id consider football practice harder than that. dont talk soccer boy.

:roll: :lol: :roll: I dont think so. Do you have to inhale teargas, during football pratice?

in california perhaps for the riot after you win the game :wink:

maybe not that but have u ever stood next to a 275 pound sweaty guy? hehe
well the physical part doesnt look that hard [/code]

I hope you never join the army, I can just see you calling your mom "mommy I want to go home its to hard :( "

NO SHIT...FUCK!

you can count on me joining and you can count on me spending my whole senior year getting ready.. i am the most determined person i know you watch pfc you watch

I'm glad to hear it, so why are you putting the training down?

im not putting it down i think that it should be a little a little harder say 40 pushups in a row with 1 minute rest then another 40 then 60 situps 2 minute rest 60 more

That actually sound like a good idea :wink:

Screw you it sounds like a good idea I need to leave for REAL Basic Training in a few months.

what branch?

90 pushups in 2 minutes?

Thats one pushup every 1.33 seconds.

I think you must be a SEAL, becasue I don't know many people who can do that.

The recruits on this show are dumbasses. Really are people this stupid?

in my FRESHMAN PE class in HS it was normal to do from 6-12 sets in a day (yeah we had a nice coach LOL)
every Friday we had a fitness test where you had to do as many pushups as you can without stopping and by the 4th week I peaked 60 and didn't want to go any harder than that.
Now that coach moved to the big campus (our Freshmen were separate) and the new Freshmen are a bunch of sissies.

anyway this was a bunch of 14-15 year old kids, I expect that 18-19 year olds could do better!

1 pushup every 1.33 seconds is pretty fast. Espically when you pass the first minute. Think about it.

I'm sure Anna Nicole Smith could do it! :wink: :roll:

if a 14 year can bench his wieght 4 times dont you think a bunch of 18 year olds can do a lousy 30 pushups?

And they werent even doin the right pushup. They were goin have way and then coming back up. And the drill sarge wasnt even saying anything. WTF. I could do 30 of the half way pushups nonstop. And its only 9 weeks. Basic training looks mad easy right now. And does anybody know what u have to join before joining airborne? Is it just basic training or do u have to do other shit too?

it does look easy and airborne training is differnt you have to do all this stuff on parachuteing and landing before u even go up in the plane

lol I would LOVE to see you guys really go to Basic. "Oh it just isnt hard it looks like". Do me a favor and tell your TI when you get to Boot camp that it isnt hard enough. Im sure he'll be able to fix the situation.

Well, I am going to Boot, after I enlist, I dont think it will be easy no one should.

Navy bootcamp is for wusses!! :lol:
