PugilSticks

Supply doesn't do this, however maybe those that work in clothing might want it, you know, when people get mad that we can't give them all the Gucci kit.

I've done it once back in HS..pretty much the same thing, and it's lots of fun.  A good way to develop some aggression in people, and quick reaction. 

Reminds me of that ridiculous American Gladiator show.

We did them on my field engineer QL3 so i doubt that the infantry has a monopoly on this type of training.

CA,

Infantry is the Eng's secondary role though, right?

True.

I could use some pugilstick action,
for those with experience, how quickly do the bruised egos heal?

Pretty quick. The course routine and the demands of the instructors is neverending so you get over it fast as there are other things to worry about. Best thing to do is to go the mess later, re-tell the stories and just get drunk.

What about the victors, do they ever come down to earth?

Sure...as long as they are just as drunk as the losers.

Like old West gunfighters, there's always someone faster and tougher out there.  Everyone gets the opportunity to get humbled.  I heard jabs were now no longer allowed?  There goes my secret weapon.

How do they set up the matches?, by like size and weight. Just cause I'm a pretty small guy I'm 18 and only weigh 145 pounds and if I get matched up with this huge 30 year old, that would kind of suck lol.

 

[BradCon]

Can anyone recollect a recruit asking for a Pugil STick tourney in BMQ?

What are the odds of a superior embracing the idea?

I dont know how it would be decided but in the end i'm sure it will boil down to you doing what the staff tells you to do.

You dont get to pick an ennemy that is your size to fight with.

1) Probably been asked

2) Not very likely.

 

[Kat Stevens]

You won't do pugil in basic.

If it's not part of your trade, you're not likely to come across it. However, being a royal pain in the ass usually helps find someone to accommodate you in your endeavours in getting beat up.

 

[BradCon]

Understood.
