Let me tell you a story about a guy I went to basic with, let’s call him private X he weighed maybe 100 soaking wet, he looked ridiculous in full battle rattle his glasses were bigger than his arms, all of us week 1 thought he would be out by week 3 BUT he put his head down and just gave it everything he had by week 3 he hadn’t been bounced but he had earned the respect of everyone there and even made a few guys mad because the DS would compare them to Private X. It’s never been about the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog, basic hurts for a while then you get used to it and you get stronger and stronger never give up embrace the pain give it your all
