Bro I was a corpsman and I remember having to do the Army jump school PT test before I left pndleton then the Friday before school started then the Monday the school started. Those army dudes hated us so much they would count zero 100 times

[@chrisclark6044]

No no no my friend. That's the 41 club. Bullshit I know. However they have soooooo many swingin dicks and clips show up for Jump school. So they fail people on purpose. Met a bunch of Marines that were sold dudes. Don't feel bad bro. Happens to the best. Even what dude is doing. There are fellas his size and probably as intelligent. They are called 21 day non select.

[@edwards99]

They did this with everybody 20 years ago. They didn’t start saying no until after your 10th push-up- because at that point it’s a failure and not a restart. You had to be able to do about 60 push-ups to be able to complete the minimum 42 very rigid all the way up and all the way down push-ups. They would usually do it to cut down the size of the class when they were overbooked in the summer (at least that was the general consensus). Right or wrong we labeled those guys as badge protectors. It paid off to be in the front of the line and get tested before they started thinking about the class size!

[@g00gleisgayerthanaids56]

Army doc here, they didnt count about 15 or 20 of my pushups either, the blackhats are always anal about form, pro tip: go airborne during the summer, they dont run you everywhere if its heat cat V.

[@Chris09978]

Remember all the special operations training is not always about begin fit, begin fit is one thing but the first thing is all mental. Your goal in the special operations community is earning that Green Beret, Maroon Beret, Black Beret, or getting that scroll. That’s your goal and mission,reach for those beret think about the beret, don’t think about home think about home you fail, think about the beret putting yourself first for the beret is the only way for you to succeed. These are the words that have said by many many ex special operations units who have gone through it. Yeah it sucks but remember everybody is sucking with you, work as a team you live, work alone, you die alone, you always fail. You may not like that person but work together you’d make it out alive, if these guys can do it so can you. Keep your head in the game and don’t think about home ever, mission is always first family second
