mine was when i was in the army(conscript) then we had to hike 50km with a 40kg backpack and your rifle and helmet on. Shit was fucked up i had huge blisters under my heels and shit but after it was over i was so fucking relieved one of the best days of my life when it got over. Also fell into the water when we did a obstacle course. I was in a really great shape back then but my hands just fucking failed on me.
it was a crazy fucking experience. You will DEFINITELY get fit. You will do so much physical acitivity and the food is very healthy there. If youre overweight I recommend you go there you will lose 20kg(40 pounds) in 1-3 months easily
Blake Brooks
Nothing like that but the most I was ever pushed was during the annual training week before the lacrosse season for the varsity in high school
>week in Florida heat >morning practice, mid day practice, night scrimmage against another school >constantly being scrutinized the entire time by coaches looking to cut you >up against guys on their way to D1 programs (it was a good team) >not even a lacrosse player -- baseball convert with frayed UCL so not a great traditional athlete
Nathaniel Thompson
don't join the army fat
just don't do it
lose the weight first
Justin Cruz
to be fair, I'm skinnyfat, still no?
Caleb Flores
if you can't run 2 miles in 16:00 or do 30 consecutive pushups don't even think about it. going from no running to daily running will likely smash your feet, shins, knees, to pieces and the drills will fuck with you constantly.
Matthew Hill
Army is becoming much more selective because youth today is in such shit shape. Odds are you won't make it through MEPS station.
Isaac Gutierrez
I can do 50 pushups 12 Pullups and can run 2 miles in 14. Should I join?
Jordan Morales
sure fuck it. nobody is testing your max bench or anything. however the new pt test isn't just bodyweight shit but you'll have time to prepare for it.
also practice rucking. just put a 45 lb plate in a backpack and walk around with it. preferably on grass/dirt/sand because pounding pavement with weight is rough on the body.
Henry Lopez
It was over three days, but my stepdad and I were skiing Tuckerman's Ravine in New Hampshire. The actual climb to the top is a fucking nightmare, and then you ski down what is essentially a sheer slope. So on top of eating shit about five times per run, we had to climb back up after.
Joseph Lewis
I've hiked 20 miles with 20 lb backpack on before, I could probably add the weight next time around.
Robert Miller
whats your running program? need ur time
Carter Scott
step 1 - do a bunch of low intensity 3 mile runs to build aerobic efficiency and acclimate the joints. if you cant run 3 miles straight at any pace, mix running and walking until you get to that point.
step 2 - run your desired 2 mile pace in chunks. ie - 400m @ 7 mins / mile, rest, 400m, etc. do this in addition to your slow runs, not as a replacement.
step 3 - reduce rest time and increase interval size until you can run the 2 miles at desired pace.
Eli Davis
thanks
Kevin Hill
hardest days for me are when I would work 80 hour weeks for months on end as a construction worker. Its ok for a few weeks but it just starts to wear on you and your body is just breaking down and the lack of sleep gets to you.
made a ton of money though.
Adrian King
I don't talk about that day, and fuck you for reminding me of it.
Julian Gray
I don't have one user. It's all genetics, running is in my blood. That 14 minute time was what i ran after 8 months of no running
Jace Nguyen
Pretty much the same but a bit easier. Wasn't really that exhausted. It was like doing moderate cardio for a whole day but it still sucked and I discovered soreness in muscles I didn't even know I had. 35km with a 10-30kg backpack (we took turns on who carried the heaviest thing)
Eli Gutierrez
Probably riding for 4-5 hours as it got progressively colder and feeling your extremities all go numb one by one... stopping every 10 minutes to grab your dick to warm up your hands and being unable to move certain parts of your body
yeah... being an elite cyclist is no joke sometimes. shit hardens you for sure
Ian Miller
if you're fat don't join the army. new acft comes out this year and anyone with a profile either has to come off profile or gtfo. can't run? gtfo. can't deploy? gtfo. fat? gtfo.
Lincoln Long
Probably some wrestling practice. Can't remember a specific one. Recently we did 10 minute matches before starting conditioning, that was pretty bad.
Austin Peterson
Jesus Christ can you stop using km and kg and all that stupid bullshit?

You mean the units 95% of the world uses that make more sense? Flip a burger and cry some more amerifag

>Air Force basic >San Antonio summer, was at least 105 degrees out >Doing MOPP drills, isn't even that bad even with how hot it is because we stop for water every 10 minutes >Basically fucking about with your buddies until the alarm goes off then everyone runs to a pre-determined spot in a bunker >For this particular drill we had to get on the ground and put a gas mask on >At this point we'd done it 10 times that day alone >For literally no explainable reason some faggot lost his gas mask, tried to hide it by burying his face in his arms >How the fuck do you lose your gas mask >We do the drill like 5 times as punishment with no water breaks which is surprising for how pussy BMT was >The 4th time through MTLs receive word the DFAC is short handed and needs KP duty volunteers >Literally every single trainee raises their hand >I somehow get fucking picked and get to leave and shower and go stuff my face with chocolate cake while those faggots ran through it again and mucked about some more in full MOPP gear Never felt closer to fainting than that. Shit sucked. Looking back it is funny though.
If you solely rely on the PT you're mandated to do you'll likely get kicked out. Shit isn't enough and when I was in our mandatory PT was a walk in the park because 99% of the time your PTL was some old fat bastard who couldn't be fucked to do anything beyond arm rotations and other meme exercises.
Isaiah Jones
can't recall a specific day, but I did 3 years of high school track and cross country. and the workouts we did were hard as fuck sometimes, still one of my best life experiences so for tho
Noah Richardson
I fell asleep on post once during a live training exorcise. The fucking sgt major and a Colonel rolled up on me in a quiet ass pick up truck. **door slams: "hey, faggot Devil-Dog. Ya'll are on a post, but ya'll are fucking sleepin'! Moth*****….!.>!!&*&*&*%"
I thought I was just gonna get my ass chewed and that would be it. No way. About 20 minutes pass and my Corporal is running down a nearby hill shouting his ass off at me. I ran to him, like sprinted my ass off. He tells me that, since I want to sleep on post -- I need to build myself a fort with solid communications/radio equiptment so that I can properly call for a Marine to relive me next time I get sleepy. I spent the rest of that afternoon/evening running up and down a mountain gathering sandbags, fuel jugs, tent poles and radio gear to make a fucking outpost. It was insane. Thought my hear was gonna pop like a blister
Jace Collins
I’m murican too fag boy, but weights come in kg and if you don’t know km you don’t run so your a double faggot.
Hudson Carter
literally no way this is true the army is practically accepting dead bodies at this point they can't afford to kick out anyone
Nathan Powell
>hardest day in your life physically? Hiked to the very bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up with two middle aged marines and a friend when I was 17 on summer break from HS, legit going back up those fucking zig zag trails made me wish for death. Both Marines were then trying to get me to join because I beat them lol, but my buddy beat us all.
Jaxson Peterson
Even the amerilard military uses km for distsnce
Nathaniel Howard
Carried my unconscious best friend on my back 6km to the hospital; took me 40 mins and he was 80ish kg. Died before I got there. It's been 2 years and it hurts like yesterday.
Luke Garcia
an /out/ story for all of yoj
>out in New Mexico bc beautiful >me and two mates >we have camped numerous times and have backpacked miles together >thought we were physically prepared for anything >it is about an hour before dusk we are on a switchback going down the summit we peaked >im in the middle of the group when I suddenly hear jarring sound >imagine fork on plate sound but louder >turn around to see friend had lodged rock out of place and was sliding down mountain >me and mate bolt it down the side of the mountain with all of our gear >make it to mate who had a fractured knee >thisiswherethegoinggetsrough.jpg >use branches to create makeshift cot >place this 200lb male on cot >other friend was kinda dyel so i front load his pack >jog about 2.5 miles uphill with 60lbs on my front, 80 on my back and carrying the back end of the cot
moral of story: carry radios
Aaron Evans
Probably the one time I almost died from an allergic reaction to aspirin
Christian Price
i know that feel, dude helicopter accident killed two coworkers, third had her face ripped off and i had to carry her through the woods for an hour while she flailed and screamed like a banshee. she ended up making it, but 4 years later im still losing sleep over that shit.
Aiden Gonzalez
Never had a day of hardship in my life desu
Hudson Williams
mattis is in charge now, obama is gone
Carter Foster
actually the duodecimal system is much better than the decimal system because 12 has more divisors than 10, and the imperial system is implemented using the duodecimal system
William Hernandez
duodecimal is for big brains only

Jacob Moore
>will joining the army get my fatass fit >don't join the army fat
are there no fitness/health tests? in the UK you have to be a healthy BMI to join, they don't let fatties in. you have to pass a comprehensive health check and a fitness test (20 press ups, 35 situps, 1.5mi run in 10mins) just to get to basic training, during which there's another fitness test that you need to pass.
Chase Brooks
Walking back to hotel from park frankendael with ex in amsterdam, while being high as fcuk on shrooms and weed.
She passed out. I lost hearing. One bench to next one. Hot summer day. Rock music and wild visuals everywhere. No water. ..Found cardamom buns so we survived and it turned into fun memory eventally after 30 minutes.
Easton Nguyen
Army for me too, when I did my recon course we would get smashed multiple times a day to the extent that the DOMS when we woke up at 5AM to get smashed again was incredible. The slightest move in any part of the body brought searing pain but we had to limber up and go through it all again day after day until we were just used to it.
Jonathan Morris
>elite >cyclist Lol
Wyatt Sullivan
retard had an axe swung over his shoulder as he approached a heli, rotor downwash swept it up and turned the axehead into buckshot, striking the 3 people next to him first guy took a splinter in the carotid, second guy had his skull dented in, and the last one had all her teeth were knocked out, entire right side of her face torn off, globe of her eye was ruptured and loosely hanging out of her eyesocket by the optic nerve
guy that got everyone killed just stood around shellshocked, pilot and i restrained and bandaged her, didn't really have the material to make a cot to carry her out so i just slung her over my shoulder to carry her out. fucker kept kicking me in the face whenever she'd regain consciousness
Noah Ward
Also my last patrol in Afghanistan was like 20km long and took an entire day and I needed to shit the entire time but refused to do it in front of farmers and/or ANA, must have been an epic sphincter workout.
Kevin Roberts
If you're going to shit on decimals at least do it with a power of two system, duodecimal is just as retarded.
Dylan Stewart
wow, holy shit. sounds like you did the right thing
Adam Perez
similar to this in my own army but the previews day it took me so much time to prepare my stuff that I had only slept for 30 minutes, we where doing polygonals all day and all night and the next day we had to jump into a 30 m deep pool of water from 10 meter high... sounds easy but I didn't know how to swim and I'm phobic to have my head under water.. my captain had to take me out of the water I still have no gf
i design processors for a living so i know that power of two systems like octal and hexadecimal, etc are only good for when you're counting things that would easily divide by a power of two in any situation. for an elementary example in a computer system you would need a data line for every, let's call it "peripheral", and that data line could have two states: in use, or not.
the duodecimal is good for people because we can easily hold the quantities that it divides into into our heads and encounter such quantities frequently in our daily lives: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Here's 10: 1, 2, 5, 10 not as many possibilities, not as convenient under most situations.
William Evans
HA
Also probably digging for three days straight two of those nights without sleep, also it was raining the whole time so we were digging swimming pools. The ground was clay which added to the fun, there was a cyclone nearby and we were in a rainforest. Good times
Got stuck in a basement with a crazy dog for 28 hours when I was 16 years old. Was going through this guy's scrapyard looking for car parts, was building a garbage tier custom car with my friend. Owner caught me and forced me inside, then locked me in the basement with that fucking dog. It attacked right away and mauled the shit out of my left leg. Got away and hid behind a flipped table but it just wouldnt le me be. Found a hole in the basement wall in about my head height, climbed up and sort of sat there on the ledge by holding on to a pipe in the ceiling. Dog kept attacking me while I just screamed and kicked until it went away, only to come back at random intervals. I was in utter panic mode for hours straight and my arms hurt so badly from steadying myself on that pipe. I was absolutely sure I would die and at one point I considered jumping down and fighting the dog. Psycho fuck owner finally let me out and tried to play it off as "was just teaching you a lesson" and acted overly friendly with me, held me for like an hour and made me promise not to tell anyone. Of course I did and my parents sued the guy and my dad assaulted him within an inch of his life with a shovel. Went to therapy because of it and now I can't stand dogs, I get fucking chills down my back just from hearing barking.
Evan Long
During wartime, you could get executed for falling asleep on your post (I don't know if that still applies in modern times though), so it was pretty dumb what you did man.
Daniel Hughes
Give some actual examples, because in my daily life I'm never dividing fucking anything by factors of 10, much less by factors of 12. Furthermore if you actually have the factors in your head and the number is divisible by said factors, the base doesn't matter at all.
>i design processors for a living >Defends the murrican unit system [doubt]
Bentley Martinez
>28 hours so how many times did he rape you?
Luis Sullivan
My fuckbuddy's husband (can't even make this up) is en route to being kicked out of the army for being too fat. It's a real thing right now, she's trying to get him to diet and go to the gym.
Evan Ortiz
What happened to the asshole who did this to them? I hope execution.
Zachary Ross
Fuck you for trespassing and stealing. I wish the damn dog had killed you, retard.
Sebastian Peterson
yeah, lose weight for Israel! Schamalaikum
Dominic Williams
Lol, German army requirements to join the army: >run 1km in 6:30 >5 sec flexed arm hang >11x 10m-sprint in 60sec You can join the forces with a 29,9 BMI. They literally take EVERYONE.
Ayyy Was also a conscript and those hikes were fucked. Best part however was day after the hike when we all marched to the canteen for breakfast and you could see how everyone limped with broken blisters under the foot and weak knees and lower back trying their best not to fall out of the cohesion lmfao
Michael Cruz
Where's the picture of the 2 female recruits that had their backpack carried by the rest of the platoon?
Adrian Watson
People meme about cycling but those long events like Tour de France are probably the most brutal in all of sport, when they finish that event they are closer to dying than people realise

Colton Clark
>Trying to defend trespassing and theft. You're an idiot.
Colton King
Yeah, when I was conscripted to military, I had the pleasure of working with the welsh royal marines a few times. Those guys were tough as nails and professional as hell. Everyone with a chiseled jaw-line and tough demeanor wearing their berets. You could just tell by looking that those guys were in top form.
British armed forces in general are highly regarded. Allies never have bad words to say about them, because they are very professional and tough as hell.
Matthew Jackson
I had a post viral immune reaction after being sick and couldn’t leave my couch for a week. It was excruciating pain. I got enough strength to fly to my parents house and spent another week in bed while my mom nurses me. I had a seizure and thought i was dying. Half my body went numb and i couldn’t move my arm. Eventually i recovered but that incident was terrible
Ryder Scott
ahaha the long patrol feels. had similar experiences but as a crayon eating assaultman.
Henry Brown
We were kids and it was junk he didnt care about. Sure, we trespassed and might even have deserved a scalding my a police officer but not getting abducted and assaulted. Now stop being a teenage cringelord
Evan Stewart
>He thinks teenagers are the ones who care about the rules.
You are both a criminal and stupid. Go ahead and tell me how the law doesn't apply to you. Just have fun justifying your nonsense, you piece of shit.
Xavier Baker
Also your dad is a scumbag. He should have beat you instead. You never learned your lesson and you're an entitled piece of shit. Kill yourself.
Joshua Cooper
Kidnapping and hurting a 16 year old for stealing car parts. Lol get a grip dude that shit is unreal. I’m glad OPs dad fucked him up. My dad would have done the same. Hopefully OP got a lot of cash. I fucking hate dogs too. This guy actual sounds cool. We’d peibably be friends irl. You basement dwellers need to get out more
Jose Evans
>physically
literally every workout is worse than the last. I had a 108 fever once. That was pretty rough spending so much time in an ice bath.
Zachary Lopez
Fuck off samefag. You weren't kidnapped. You trespassed all on your own, moron. You're delusional and you have no grip of reality.
Josiah Thomas
I’m not him retard. Why are you so angry?

Climbing Mt. Fuji from base to rim. I did it on a whim with no training. Kicked my ass.
You’re a really bitter and angry person. I hope you find peace

The first true thing you uttered. Yes, I am bitter and angry. But at least I'm not an entitled criminal.
Ethan Bailey
Bicycling 500km in 18 hours was my hardest day in my life. >One sunday I just felt like doing it >Wake up 0300 at monday and set off >Wasnt prepared for the recovery I needed when I was done.. took a whole week to recover.
I was on a battalion training exercise in Cyprus, and for those who dont know Cyprus is hot, humid, and the terrain is full of rocks and sharp bushes. We were tasked with a company level assault on a quarry that the fictional enemy were using as a training camp. To get there, we had to cross about 10-15km of shite terrain at night for a dawn attack, with each man carrying probably about 25-30kg worth of fighting order, more if you were a gunner.
So we got to within probably 5km of the quarry when we hit death valley (although technically we crossed at the point where the valley forked). 1km down, 1km up, 1km down, 2km up the far side, in pitch black with some of the worst terrain ive ever seen, literally climbing up boulders with a good few hundred metres to fall on every step. We managed to get to the top on the far side with only a couple of injuries despite many close calls, and then as standard, one of the ruperts in charge had underestimated how long it would take to cross the valley, so instead of having an hour at the final LUP to admin ourselves we had 4 minutes to quickly get ready before launching into a full scale company attack through a mile long quarry just as the sun came up and blasted us with 30 degree heat.
Safe to say it was pretty cheeky, first fag of the day felt particularly well earned though.
Dylan Reed
Still better than ak4/g3
Easton Morris
Armycuck stories? Field exercise in a shithole region, rained for 2 weeks straight, every day was digging in, rotating out on 10 - 20km patrols and getting about 5 hours sleep if the enemy party didn't attack. Halfway through we pack marched 10km along goat and dirtbike tracks to a feature that must have been 450 metres tall on a straight 60 degree incline, set up an ambush at the top, it was the middle of winter, raining non stop, lying in the sunken mud, closest i came to freezing to death.
Rugby game after a six month ligament injury having spent the time boozing and going on coke rampages. Was wheezing and heavy after about 15 minutes, only had 14 players so no subbing. 80 straight minutes of hitting breakdowns running on steam. Chundered some at half time. Fucking nightmare
