I have to lead PT this morning, and I was planning on making it worthwhile, but when I sent the unit PT manager the email with what I was going to have everyone do, he shot it down immediately. He told me that squadron PT is NOT for getting in a good workout  . He told me that it's for networking within the squadron and getting to know each other, and to improve morale.Tell me how sacraficing 90 minutes out of my 11 hours a day that I'm not working improves morale. And why I should give a gently caress about networking with some fat NCOs who are going to get kicked out because even if they wanted to do a good workout, we're not allowed to.

I dunno about your base, but it says right in our CG's ATG that "Physical training is a unit function designed to boost morale, physical fitness is an individual responsibility." Which seems to me like it's designed to prevent anyone who's out of shape from getting into shape, or anyone who wants to be in better than army standard shape from doing it, but this is the world we live in now. Think of it like a general trying to sell his training plan to higher: organized PT is the cheapest training a military can accomplish in terms of resources required, acts as a way to prevent a significant percentage of the force from reenlisting (only retain the best), and allegedly saves money in long term health care costs since you kick the fatties out. And like most army training, you train to standard; the standard in this case being a one hour block of time.

The view on it, as it were, is that by forcing the more in shape soldiers to work with the fat bodies, that it will instill a sense of responsibility to be physically fit in them and that fitness knowledge will be spread through social interaction. However, fatties gonna fat. I'm not even really convinced that making morning PT into a hardcore session would help, because it takes the individual making the choice to change his or her lifestyle in order for any effect to occur. If they don't stop eating an entire bag of Cheetos and sucking down 10 cans of natty lite each night, they're not going to lose weight. And let's face it: maxing the PT test takes more than just showing up to PT.

This girl from my unit said she isn't going to fall for my lines to get into her pants.... Fast forward a few weeks I told her I would do a few runs with her and signed up for one. Then encouraged her to do a marathon and somehow agreed to it too.... I'm 100% positive I'm getting laid as soon as I see her.... But I'm also running 26 loving miles... I ran the 5 for the ranger thing and almost died...... Now I have to run that and 21 more... The poo poo i do for pussy.

I doubt you'll be doing a 7 minute mile pace for the marathon. So long as you don't burn yourself out, a marathon is easily doable. Especially if sex is on the line.

Also run at a 10 minute pace or slower. No need to loving kill yourself over it. There's a reason the phrase "It's a marathon, not a race" exists.

APFT in a week. After that, I'm going to switch back to power-lifting mode. Might keep up my running workout, though, since it's been pretty enjoyable.

Working back up double overhand with chalk is fun, actually.

Run with the hot girl from TMO, that's what. The only good thing to come out of that squadron PT (which wasn't that bad, because I got to pick what we did) was gaining this new workout partner.  She will be my rape shield if I ever see Helldump Immunity here

I haven't been doing anything fancy or hardcore like some of ya'll, but I have been just eating a lot less poo poo and doing an hour of cardio each day. It's pretty sad though because I am not living up to the fat contractor code of conduct. smertrioslol posted:

Ok brosephs, time to get some gym etiquette advice... or at least tell you a kind of entertaining story since I'm not sure there's much that can be done: I think I've posted about it before, or at least talked about it in IRC. I go to the gym at ~1:30AM, where it's totally empty, except my buddy and I, and this group of other bro's (from my company). One of the dudes is pretty nice, I partied with him in Dubai - we call him Lenny because he is enormous, like 6'5" and super jacked, but appears to be possibly pretty simple. One of the dudes is a complete white trash piece of poo poo. We call him "Doublewide", because he's fat as gently caress, has Imaginary Lat Syndrome, and just looks like he's composed primarily of fat and dip. He sounds like an idiot and is always giving Lenny workout advice, even though I can lift more than Doublewide on almost everything and he has almost 100lbs on me. Needless to say I hate this guy for being white trash and also for being an idiot. Anyways, we've had this ongoing thing with the stereo in there. My buddy and I come in with headsets, but they blast their iPod over the stereo super loud, loud enough that we can't even really talk to one another. We've taken the iPod cable. We've taken 6 different power cords. We have disassembled the stereo and hid it around the room. I'm pretty sure they aren't seeing that because some little Indian dude probably has to put it back together every day. I've walked over and turned it way down a number of times. One time one of the dudes (neither DW or Lenny) came over and and asked "Was that too loud for you?" all confrontational-ly, so of course I was just like "Yah, it was" and went back to doing what I was doing. Tonight we turned it down since we had to be right next to it to do upright rows, and Doublewide came over freaking out, saying "YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME IF YOU COULD TURN IT DOWN", to which I told him "I don't need to ask you for anything", to which he responded "Put your headphones in if you don't want to hear it." My buddy told him to get his own headphones, at which point the guy wandered off muttering (after turning it back up). While I of course wanted to just turn it back down, getting into a passive aggressive match with this trailer trash retard seems stupid. The only option I see remaining is talking to our management because he refuses to be reasonable and disabling the radio hasn't worked. I would just totally destroy the stereo but that kind of stops me from doing anything else about it in the future. The only other option is getting in there before them (difficult) and playing music that I know they will hate (thinking Mars Volta). Ideas?

Ask one more time for them to turn it down and then just break the loving radio. If they get another radio, just ask again and if nothing happens break it again. Or just got at another time if you figure out that a dumb pissing contest with people who have nothing better to do than get into pissing contests isn't really worth the effort.

rrail I read a lot of your posts man and from seeing them I feel like I know you pretty well, so don't take it the wrong way when I say you got a problem where you can't just walk away. Just shut the gently caress up and walk away and your life will be so much easier and stress free dude. Try it for a week, just say whatever and move on with things instead of getting into insignificant fights over the stupidest poo poo. Nobody likes not 'winning' but at the end of the day these dumb little confrontations don't do much except waste time and effort.
