If your Ranger Tabbed LT asks you to run with him....DONT GO he will break you off then hand it back.....then break you off again.

60-120s for 5 miles at his pace has me hurting like a Marine after a fight with an Infantrymen :D

Time to go eat breakfast and throw it back up :rock

Must not have felt much pain then.  :aok

If you eat then throw it back up something is wrong my friend, just remember pain is weakness leaving the body and you'll be ok.

...pain is weakness leaving the body...

I've always said it as 'Pain is just the body's way of reminding you that you're in horrible, horrible agony.'
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

You knew he was tabbed and you accepted anyway?  A Lt. no less (= young).   :rofl

That was all your own fault.  You deserve what you get         :D

LOL Junky! I used to laugh at my lil' bro when he was a Ranger, he could run for days. 5,6, 7 miles.... they used to do 20 mile road marches with 100 lbs or so of gear. He was like the freaking energizer bunny when he ran, this from a kid who a couple of years earlier in HS couldn't run to the end of the street without coughing up a lung (too much partying and smoking). So one day, not long after he was back from Somolia, he was at home on leave. I was home from college (rare thing at the same time). He had on his Ranger t-shirt and shorts, and took off running a wide-a** open sprint down the street. So a while passes, a long while. Almost an hour later he comes running up the highway from the other direction, still running almost just as fast as when he left. He stopped, walked around the yard for a minute, then sat down on the steps and smoked a cigarette. I was pretty much in disbelief. Dad asked him where the heck he ran for so long, and when he (dad) drove it in the car he told me later it came to almost 7 miles round trip. And had a freakin smoke when he was done. Craziest s*** I've ever seen.

I can run for days at my own pace(I score perfect on the run everytime for PT tests), but when Im running above my pace while we jogged for 1min 20 seconds....then sprinted 60 seconds....it just killed me. When the whole sqaud got back we did an ab workout that really didnt help, everyone picked a different ab workout and we did 50 reps of it....Of course my sqaud leader picks "Frog legs" :cry

Aren't these the guys who hit a land mine with a hammer to check if it is a dud?

Sorry. Old joke.

Like the one:  What does it mean when you see a pin fly through the air?  There is a Marine with a grenade in his mouth.

Interservice rivalry.  I miss the old days.

Regarding advice for Army recruits, study up and join the Air Force. :salute

Yeah I wish I was told that when I joined the Army, the airforce is the way to go  :)

Although I had such a good time in the army and not a day goes by where I do not miss the army...either through fond memory's or just from the pain from my knackered hip  :lol
