No pork chop platoon. I passed whaever their minimum PFT was when you first get there. But I think I spent more time on the quarterdeck and in the pits then anyone else.

My point is no matter how lousy of shape you at the DIs will get you where you need to be. One way or the other.

Maybe they should have retired DIs run the athletics programs at all the schools. They would whip them fat kids into shape.

You know that's a genius idea. I'll tell ya what though there will need to be release forms for parents to sign because all it will take is little Johnny to gt his wiggle feewings hurt and here come the lawsuits.

Yeah. I bet the parents will really have a shit fit when the kids come home late after a night of getting shitfaced and bruized up jumping out of whorehouse windows when they get raided.

Ahhh The memories of beign a non-rate. Good times. Wouldn't trade them for the world.

For real though....just to throw it out there....since Americans are supposedly getting so out of shape, why not have retired military and even retired professional sports atheletes help out in training while kids are in schools. The private schools could even charge extra for recognized sports stars to train thier students. Marines & Army, and other Military DIs could fill in for public schools, as well as famous sports stars that get into trouble and have to do community service.

Not to put any pressure on the students, but obviously, they need to pass some type of basic physical fitness test while in school. It's OK to be healthy. And if there are people at the schools that can motivate the out of shape students, such as retired DIs or Professional Aheletes, it would help the youths of America, and the future of the Nation.

Dang.....I sound like some dude running for office.

My point is: There needs to be something other that Wii Excercise to help get kids get into shape. Getting out of the house and excercising is better.

It would mean more if it counted towards high school graduation. The fatties have to jog for summer school credit.
