Uh uh.... not sure what an Ultra marathon is but ther eis a reason why women marathon/tri-atheltes compete in a seperate group from the men.

If your talking about handling starvation... then yes.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

a related issue might have something to do with overall average body weight. Towards the end, I would guess energy efficiency would be important. In simple terms a heavier person would have to work his body harder to continue.

My girlfriend told me I was good at humping but I made too many PU's.  Gotta lay off the bean burrito MRE's.

I just saw a bit on CNN about this.  The crybaby's name is Pelanco (not sure on spelling) and Sweet is his sergeant.  Sweet looks to me like a kick-ass Marine noncom, definately not the wuss here.  

Just want to get the names straight, so that Sweet isn't getting smeared.  This is assuming CNN didn't get the names backward or something.

SWOOP...heheheh. I'd like you to face off with my "baby" brother who's a 6'-5" Marine Gunnery sgt with 24 years service and tell him he's must be a "wuss". After he quit laughing and wiping th tears from his eyes he'd prolly paint th walls with yer body fluids.

He's got "issues", I guess.;)

The USMC draws its number's from the civilian population.  Every now and again your going to draw a toejambird.

Sounds like a little bit of hazing is in line for the the private to me.

Ya know, it was always the middle of the road guys that I looked for in my units. Not the Annapolis graduates, top of their class but the guys that succeeded in spite of their limitations. These are the men and women who had to work and fight every step of the way. These are the ones that never had anything handed to them, that had to fight for every A and B in school. These are the ones that I knew would go the extra mile in combat.

All this crap about Marines being the toughest, most physically fit is bull. Coast Guard Basic Training was 4 weeks longer than USMC. We ran 5 miles, did 45 min PT then ran 10 more...before breakfast. It's also the hardest service to enter, very strict requirements. The Coast Guard is the ONLY full time Active Duty service, everyone else is in training mode until called upon.

Hey ... Navy Jr! ;) :D

You need to talk to the guys on the flightdecks of carriers about how much difference there is in their jobs in peace and wartime. :cool:
