Actually Tom, they factor in your age, weight and heartrate in some complex ridiculous formula. Even if you finish up to stage 6, your body wait could be enough to not get you a pass. (Try the special K diet)

Really?
I stand corrected.
Doesn't seem to make any sort of sense, does it?
Tom
now that right there is a fact! I almost got punted off a course once because, prior to the fitness test (yeah... : ), I had my usual extra-large triple-triple/smoke/dip morning trifecta. (I know, I know! They're drugs, I'm an addict, leave me alone.) Poor little civvy chick about had a coniption! Course WO stepped in, things were settled, but it was a pain in the posterior for everyone concerned.George Wallace said:Also remember that Coffee and Tea (anything with Caffeine) will raise your heart rate, so don't have any for 24 hours prior to the test.

yeah, I know. I weigh well over 200 myself. It's a slam at the system, not you. Grow a thicker skin, or you're gonna have a hard time in an organization of alpha males. Read what's written, don't infer. I don't insinuate or play word games. I got a problem with someone, I say so.BeadWindow said:Not everyone who is over 200 pounds is a fatass.

Now, stop worrying yourself into a tizzy. I'll be shocked if anything short of a missing limb kept you out of Basic.
group hug, then?BeadWindow said:Im sorry did I sound like I was whining? Because I was "telling" not asking or whining. : As for my "thinkness of skin"- I suggest you take your own advice. I wasnt attacking you.
