IS THIS A GOOD IDEA??? IF SO...

[Fusaki]

I'm 5'6" and about 135lb serving in a reg force mech inf batt. But even though I'm the smallest guy in my platoon, not once have I ever fallen out of PT. Even though I'm Mech Inf, the SQ and BIQ are "light" courses and I made it through there alright. My current position is #1LMG, which alot of people consider a crappy job just because the C9 is heavier and clumsier then the C7.

If someone tells you that you can't do something because you're too small, fuck 'em. I got that before I joined and since then I've only seen bigger guys shut'er down. The CSM 3RCR Para Coy is only a little dude, but his qualifications (ex-airborne, master sniper, ect) are proof that he's one of the toughest guys serving today.

Thats my rant - and a textbook case of smallguy syndrome.  ;D

I hope I'm not comming across as a jerk thats not my intention. I'm not getting into a flame war. (And when i do i always win so it's no fun)

I think Aspiring is a good guy. When he came here I believe his name was a little inappropiate, someone pointed it out and he changed it without a fuss? I really respect that and think it sets a very good example.

I'm simply pointing out that at 15 and a civilian, he is not really qualified to judge "how far someone will go in the infantry"
I have basic first aid. If I see someone putting a leg split on someone else I'm not really qualified to say "Thats a nice splint, you would be a great paramedic" right?

I don't know maybe i'm just nit picking and i should go back to my game of Halo. :blotto:

I hope that I do not sound like I am being a jerk either... I have a long list of things that make me able to judge.... I know researching these things is NOT the topmost nor most important reason but i do do alot of it.. and my many family members in the military elps and also i read alot... the first place i got an idea that yu should be small (I didnt say weak bu if you are small you go more places) was in the book "Clear And present Danger" (Tom Clancey)  and from there i researched it... I hope that you do take this the wrong way.. you have MORE experience and yes the mech batt. should have small guys.. but the strong, fast AND smallER guys can go LI because of where they go... but either way you are probably riht and i will in this case Concede defeat (I have not done this in a LONG time lol lol)

Aspiring, like Ghost said you look like a good guy. You're a little young, and your posts show it, but it looks like you have some drive so I'll give you a bit of friendly advice: learn to say "roger that" and keep quiet after. You must have heard people say "just let it run off you like rain". Thats to keep you from putting your foot in your mouth. Tom Clancy is probably the WORST author you can read to give you the right to judge anything.

When corrected, acknowledge whats been said to you then keep quiet and move on. A couple weeks ago my section 2ic became very vocal about my lack of attention to detail led to some last minute scrambling as my company began a road move out for a day ex. My response? "I fucked up MCPL. I'll fix it now." The job got done and I stayed out of the Masterjack's for a little while. No excuses, mitigating factors, or anything else. He was right, I was given a task and I fucked up. I made sure the problem got fixed, and carried on. On the other hand, I've been jacked, tried to explain myself and been pegged as an arrogant prick. Everyone makes mistakes. Its how you handle them thats important. This is the stuff that will make all the difference when you're on course.

come on guys leave it where it belongs on the personal messages pls bicker in private and if you must say something, make it relevant to the topic.

BTW the topic is "if ppl want to join up and do runs/pt marches etc"  its is also open to trading of training routines and if ppl want to share their experiences about certain methods that work for them  during workout and if ppl want to try the workout routine suggeted.

thx for listening

[PARAMEDIC]

thats a pretty sweet work out routine you have there aspiring 

hope you keep at it till you get in. I will try your routine but i will try to modify all the time off.

hey arron lets hear yours maybe i might like your better.

I acumulated it through some of my other posts.. I did not modify it so it is told to me this way. yours is a little more strict on timing if i read correctly.. also, PARAMEDIC  if you follow mine i would not recommend losing or editing the time off from taining.. i would have but it is put there because that is the high risk for stress fractures time... ok??  do as you will i am just suggesting!!  Happy Training!!!
