This forum has been entertaining. "Artsy Russian webpage," that is funny. Tessone-- how in the world do you PT 3 hours a day? Either your idea of PT is drastically different than mine or you're the warrior's warrior. Unless you're an Olympic athlete, no one needs to PT for longer than 1-1.5 hours, MAX. If your intensity is right, than you should not be able to PT longer than 1-1.5 hours. I mean real PT, not ultimate frisbee, or lifting weights. As a side note, you do not need weights to get into shape. Check out the Navy Seal workout. You can find it many places online. If you can complete this workout, than you can brag. And there is no weights involved. And man--it looks like a beret to me. Blades, you OSO is on your side. Go do the PFT. He will not submit your package until you give him the go ahead. You have until spring. Get used to PT under adverse conditions. At OCS and TBS, you will be sick as a dog--everyone gets sick ("Squad-bay-Crud"), tired, hungry, stressed, etc. Your throat may hurt, your knee may ache, it'll be too hot, etc. LEARN TO NOT WHINE BUT ADAPT AND PERFORM. That is the trademark of a Marine Officer. Improvise, adapt and over-come. Go run the PFT sick as a dog. It's good practice. Tell your OSO you feel like **** and you'll do better next time. Also, why can't I see any of cunninglinguist's post in this topic? Does he have another screen name?
