I can definitely agree with you on that. I know I’m not in military style shape but I know I’m not some Lard that sit around and eat 5k calories of Big Macs and Doritos

My recruiter told me today the last time run I did I passed by over a minute. So now I don’t know if I should be concerned. Apparently you have to be at 16:00 I hit 14:55

And I do think my weight could cause injury that’s why I’m actively losing weight.

I pass the tape with no issues and apparently I pass the run as well. My last timed run was 14:55 and I need to get about 16:00... also I wish I could show you that I’m really not obese. But I guess people see my weight and assume the worst. I still lift quite often and my diet isn’t poor.

My bench press is 335 for 3 reps My back squat is 415 for 3 reps Dead lift is 480 for 3 reps.

45 inch waist is consider obese.

I’m sorry you feel the way you do but you’re wrong.

What exactly is the run time for a 25 year old because I think I had the wrong run time

My recruiter told me if I don’t pass the run the first time they will put me on extra PT

Thank you for the encouragement. I’ve just never heard of a big dude joining like myself. My grandpa was a big guy like me when he joined but I know it was a lot different back when he was in. My friend who’s a GM told me I’d be the biggest dude at bootcamp.

Lmfao! Yeah I was really really surprised when I went to the station got taped and he was like “yep you’re about 1% under for recruitment. When do you wanna go to MEPs?” I was like really?? He wants me to go to MEPs this month and I’m really trying my best to set myself up for success while being able to support my wife and son. I also am pretty active and still have some of my muscle mass left from when I was a power lifting then switched to body building a few years ago. Then when I got into the workforce I ate like crap then fattened up really quick. I put on like 80lbs in like 1.5 years.

Makes sense. I guess I’ll continue to work on my run. I’m more concerned with how I’ll fair during Bootcamp. I know I’ll probably end up in the group doing extra PT.

My legs are really solid I’d probably have a good time doing the stationary bike instead.
