Ah... the PT Test....

There is no edification in performing badly

from JoeUser Forums

Had a fairly shitty morning today (smoked myself every 12 hours this week....then had a surprise PT test... you know even when it is not for the record doing poorly bums me out.... even when I have an excuse) but it was all better because KLFX played Pantera's Walk on the way home. BTW Walk was RVD's theme back in his ECW days.... He should have stuck with it.

 

P.S. I appreciate SGT New-age Hippie's attempts to cheer me up this morning... I was just being a sulky bitch... I really do appreciate the thought :)

i was in AFROTC for a year. i found the Air Force PT test frightenly easy. at least the minimum requirements. it was quite hard to get the max.

Up till this year the AF's PT test was just a bike test while having your heart rate and such measured. It was quite silly...

Now it's a combination of a of points gained during a 1.5 mile run, push-ups, sit-ups, and your waist measurement.

Air Force folks are now required to do PT three times a week, and all sorts of stuff. It's a lot more "military-like" now

funny.

You had done a lot of PT the day before, baby. Dont worry about it. I am sure you will do a lot better the next time with the proper rest. : )
I love you .

I have done a bit of figuring and for the 72 hours prior to the test I had done balls to the wall cardio every 12 hours.

Why so much cardio lately?

partly to recover the run (i was broken fo 6 months of no running) and also to lose the flab.

Didn't you just come off of a profile for you knee problems?


Don't beat yourself up too much.  Sounds like you've been pushing yourself pretty hard recently.

I don't want to hear any complaining from any branch of the service that gets weekends off in bootcamp. That's just sissy stuff. Quit playing your video games and get some damn exercise. Air Farce!!

Who here in the Air Force complained asswipe? I am in the Army and the Air force responders just said their test was easy! What the fuck is the matter with you? Help yourself to a trolling rating.

I know, but....I think that you;re giving yourself slightly more of a hard time than you need to.  Just my opinion.

Sorry, but that make me giggle hysterically.  Assisted by the valium I took earlier for my back pain.....but it was really funny.

glad you liked it. I just went and checked voodoo's blog and the guy seems awfully conflicted. I almost felt guilty for trolling him... for like a millisecond.

Well, I didn't. Heaping helpings all around.

I didn't let it stop me either.

Grey, I didn't mind the trolling hit, I'm just so tired of the kids in the military complaining about a self-inflicted trial in their lives. PT is B.S., it always has been. I was a sailor for six years, ran P.T. with the Army grunts in Fort Eustis, Virginia just about every morning. Ran the Navy P.T. tests with a damn cigarette in my mouth. It's just a thing. If it bothers you that much, really, just burn your draft card and go to Canada. I think the Canadians might be a little tougher. Would you like to be a lumberjack?

Draft card? Are you fucking retarded? How about reading the rest of my fucking blog before running that cockholster?
Reply #17 from JoeUser Forums Top
Well, I'm out of trolling marks for the day.

How'd he know about your collection of shirts?

Rest assured that he doesn't know you in the slightest, grey, for he'd know that the Army would take quite a loss in your running to Canada. (Odd that he brought that up, with that article sitting on your desktop at work...)

People like voodoo irrtate me more the the left most of leftys..... as assclowns like him give even mild conservatives a bad name. I should have simply ignored and BL'd him but I could not help myself.

Apparently Grey, you have no sense of humour, other than what you got in the Army. Draft card is an "old timer " reference. I do think I may be a little retarded, though, I should get that looked at. I don't remember the Navy letting 'tards operate a nuclear (the "s" is silent, dummy) vessels, though I could be wrong. Does it really chafe your little ass to be chastised for doing something your readily volunteered for? I'm sorry. You must have been one of the poor unfortunate ones who just couldn't survive without joining the evil military machine. As for you soldier, you are definitely diong justice to your moniker, pseudo.

Where was I chastised you non-article-reading smeghead? Can you *fucking* read? Pull your head out of your ass.

Reply #21 from JoeUser Forums Top
Grey, when you choose to do something, you do it. Period. There is no room for complaints. Stupid stuff like that will get people hurt. I get disheartened when I hear half hearted service members. It's still volunteer, and it's all your fault. Stand up tall and deal with it. It's only temporary.

I am dealing with it. Next time read the fucking article! H Christ I am *so* glad you are out of the military. Frankly I bet your crewmates are too. How did you survive in the Navy without the ability to read a 8 line article? (that counts *all* the lines including title and byline!)

Can I use "smeghead"? I think it's really catchy!!

It is from Red Dwarf so use it all you like. Rimmer.

Reply #25 from JoeUser Forums Top
All I could discern from the legible "8 lines" was a whiner. Am I wrong? And if so, how? I'm not trying to egg you grey, really, but that was the way you wrote the article. Truthfully, I'm not intentionally harrassing you, I just might have missed the point of your story. No hostility intended.
