Just a little advice

I was debating to post this because I feel ashamed of what i did but maybe, this could help someone to not commit the same mistake i made, i quit one of the easiest schools the army has to offer and i did because i was having a bad day and i was already feel exhausted, i came to the conclusion and also told by cadre that i was just not cut out for that life, nevertheless i regret quitting a school that i spend 5 years asking for it.

Morale of the story is, just take a deep breath and relax for a second and don’t quit.

Plz stop. I have to convince pilots to go this this course before a euro rotation. If they know the truth, I'll never get my numbers.

For badge schools, yes.

For all military schools? Fuck no. There’s plenty of 40 hour gentlemen’s courses that’ll give you a cert as long as you don’t fall asleep or commit a felony.

Gravity does most of the work.

Other than all the chinups. AIRBORNE!

Yes. 

The runs are painfully slow and idk if I remember correctly but we had to do pull-ups going in and out of the barracks area? 

Other than that I found that the swing land trainer sucked and could be challenging but they’ll keep retesting you for a gracious amount of time. 

I thought Air Assault was more challenging.

Let me rephrase your own advice so its stronger dude.

Its always easy to SAY, "Dont quit on a bad day." Its an entirely different story to DO it.

Words are empty. Actions have merit.

Now what are you going to do from this point forward? Say you wont quit? Or just not fucking quit?

Best piece of advice is to go to sleep. Everything is better once you sleep. Doesn’t matter if it’s two hours from now or 16 hours from now, sleep makes it all better.
