Thanks for your service! I was in the Marines from 87 to 91. I weighed about 150-155 at the time, could run and do lots of pullups. Sorry I can't really help you with your questions, but I did learn how to push myself.

Kept(keeps) me running and doing pullups for PFTs. I am now on the reserve side though.

Con's about being in military that directly corilates with your physical training?
I have to keep cardio as a priority over muscle mass. This made(makes) it hard to find the energy to lift any other time of the day. Since I dont run like a little bitch, this is pretty tough.

Con's about being in military that directly corilates with your physical training?
lets see........being deployed or going through schools - i have lost so much weight only to put it back on again its crazy. but its gotten to the point now where its almost fun (and easier) to put it back on. its difficult to be very muscular and be able to keep up with the 150 pound runners nowadays. so i have to put just as much time and effort into my cardio as i do lifting. i know lots of kids that can run fast but thats it. i prefer to be well rounded in everything.
