When is supply going to get out and PT like the ATC guys waiting for field training?

Etc etc

I see what you are saying but if we signed a contract to uphold the best physical standards, it would force the troops to work harder.

I personally don't want to get fat behind a desk, that's for sure. I went through that already.

hahha im in that process over last 3 years 😛

but i mean

if you need to get your jpob done...to me that is prioreity over evertything else

wtf keyboard

True, but you are a Airman/Marine/Soldier/Sailor first.

Again I think applicable to a certain branch more than the others hhaha

The warrior spirit isnt talked about in the other branches like it is in the marines. maybe my lack of perspective and my obvious bias but i mean

in my experience with the other branches, the same espirit de corps isnt fostered in the same way

I mean in job school i was told "If yu havent killed something today you are wrong."

I dont think youd hear that in the air force or navy school room

whats this got to do with the weight issue? its that mentality.

That what I call "warrior spirit." It sounds super cheesy and I hate using it but its true

But when you have a warrior spirit of "I am a killer and I am here to kill their killers so they cant hurt our non killers" tyou train harder. You work harder. The standards arent even a thought in your head.

That spirit is like frowned on in certain branches and specific jobs

My wife's job lacked that warrior spirit and if anything was sympathetic to what i perceive as opfor (in her instance the syrian operators on both sides)

Ex

Lolz

you cant be willing to train to kill the enemy if you fucking "feel bad" for the enemy

I "feel bad" they were raised as barbarian inbred morons but that wont stop me from delivering 5.56 to their CNS NDA

And yes. EX wife hahah

VERY ex

😉 lolz just checking.

I see where you are getting at. Make the standards conform to the job or task it is applied. That is a great case you got there. But how will that help a 'desk jockey' who gets sedentary?

It wont

And that is their direct supervisors responsibility

When i see a fat marine i look at their sergeant

and iof the sergant is fat i look at their ssgt

and if the ssgt is fat....get what im saying?

If sergeant isnt fat and their marine is, then wtf sergeant why is your marine fat but you look like an extra in 300?

also i gotta say

in MOST parts of mil if youre the fat guy, you are told youre a shit bag constantly

i failed my weight checks for last 2 years I was in, still aced my PFT/CFT and STILL got told I was a shit bag by people I was literally out performing

Sorry string bean but my srtocky block build makes pull ups a breeze.

They need to get rid of BMI charts.

Alot of people your stature usually outperform a taller or bigger person.

Very true that a higher ranked NCO or officer needs to keep their men/women in check and make sure they are in top physical performance. I agree.

Interesting fact: Coast Guard boot camp was designed my the USMC and the Marine Corps supplied DI’s to the Coast Guard for a while.
