they just fucked around doing really shoddy job at fortifying. Dutch went hardcore, very neat, very extensive sandbag fortifications

2019-10-11 21:59:18 UTC  

Germans were inbetween, but their work ethic was peak based. Even their officers worked

2019-10-11 22:00:59 UTC  

and you guys did well ?

2019-10-11 22:01:55 UTC  

our guys on the fortifications did good afaik, they werent really accented. I personally didnt do fortifications, unlike previous exercises where we were primary ones for that

2019-10-11 22:06:33 UTC  

Im thinking of joining the army once Im more fit btw

2019-10-11 22:07:46 UTC  

drop as much weight as you can dude

2019-10-11 22:08:39 UTC  

look up basic physical reqs and focus on hitting the top scores. You wont reach them in years and frankly you dont have to for serving but the idea is to not stop at the minimum

2019-10-11 22:08:48 UTC  

I’m think of joining after college

2019-10-11 22:09:22 UTC  

dunno about your militaries, but mine was way different than what I and lots of other guys imagined

2019-10-11 22:09:40 UTC  

What did you imagine?

2019-10-11 22:10:13 UTC  

most of the professionals we get to talk to in private setting say its shit service and from what Ive seen, I agree. I dont belive my future lies with military anymore

2019-10-11 22:10:27 UTC  

I don’t know if you remember Bulba but he joined the navy

2019-10-11 22:10:42 UTC  

I believed that it was gonna be hell in terms of physical shit and lots of discipline and order

2019-10-11 22:10:52 UTC  

kinda off on all 3

2019-10-11 22:11:09 UTC  

I think basic is going to be hell but after that boring

2019-10-11 22:11:44 UTC  

Im weak af due to not eating enough all the time (food is dreadful, single most demoralising thing for me), but I do pretty much all the stuff needed, and I aint at the bottom even

2019-10-11 22:12:26 UTC  

discipline is only observed when seniors are around and even then its dodgy at times, and order is a meme

2019-10-11 22:13:07 UTC  

basic in burger forces is peak OOF, I wouldnt go there unless I had 2 years to prepare physically and mentally (mentally mostly to learn to eat whatever xD)

2019-10-11 22:13:09 UTC  

I fucking love to eat

2019-10-11 22:13:25 UTC  

Still skinny as shit though... fast metabolism and exercise pretty much everyday p

2019-10-11 22:13:44 UTC  

I need to get bigger

2019-10-11 22:13:57 UTC  

I’ve improved ALOT in the past 2 years

2019-10-11 22:14:36 UTC  

bigger means harder to do pullups and actually all other exercise

2019-10-11 22:14:45 UTC  

focus on muscle power gain

2019-10-11 22:14:59 UTC  

Alan Thrall had a good vid on prepping for USMC running

2019-10-11 22:15:18 UTC  

Dm it to me

2019-10-11 22:16:00 UTC  

basically you got a good idea of how heavy the gear is, you can try hiking with increasingly heavy shit over increasingly long distances. I dunno how well that would work, just something I think should work

2019-10-11 22:16:01 UTC  

For my size I am quite strong... I can push bigger players off the ball

2019-10-11 22:17:06 UTC  

2019-10-11 22:17:23 UTC  

I’ll pin it for right now and watch it later

2019-10-11 22:17:47 UTC  

kk

2019-10-11 22:21:54 UTC  

I read a book by merc recently, about how approach of western armies is inherently flawed from the lowest level in modern conflict. Where they need explosive power they focus on endurance and so on. The book was written in late 80s but its still applicable to Lith forces, and from what Ive seen, same with burger ones

2019-10-11 22:23:04 UTC  

its peak cringe to be trained with what amounts to constant logistic support in mind even when larping some sort of supply issue, and still getting meal 3 times a day xD

2019-10-11 22:24:11 UTC  

^
why do people even larp about that

2019-10-11 22:40:11 UTC  

@Parabellum Yeah I know I have been trying my hardest so far

2019-10-11 22:40:21 UTC  

I cant do much yet but its getting better every day

2019-10-11 22:40:33 UTC  

I went from 20m in the second day to 50m today

2019-10-12 00:45:45 UTC  

@Parabellum Im probably joining as an officer

2019-10-12 00:46:20 UTC  

Since Im joining after university, and here once you have a degree yoi just complete the basic academy training and you become an officer

2019-10-12 07:03:48 UTC  

Nobody likes "vitamins" mate
