One of the few times it is good to be short is under the log.

"If you are taller than the man in front of you, step in front of him. Right Face. If you are taller than them man in front of you, step in front of him."

Equal fun for all.

Midget Log Teams have a hard way to go.

Enjoyable show. Watched it last night with my son. It was like watching Monday night football with a color commentator and play by play man. :D

They have one! Among all of the new buildings, they kept one. I asked my Cadre after SUT and he filled me in as to what and why it's there... I thought it was a shed for lawn equipment or something:).

Too bad they can't show a two hour program on the rest of the Q course(Two Years in Hell)... because SFAS was easy now that I look back in comparison to the other.... two years... cough... cough.(and TR told me that after I so proudly posted that I had been "selected" on here :D). Back to studying for the Medic Course and keeping the chub off...

We graduated 13 out of 125 that started Phase One together and had a dozen or so medics finish up Phase 3 with us. NO RECYCLES! Fail ANY task and you were GONE!

Same here...they did allow recycles into the class, though...

Yeah, I didn't get the impression they really wanted us either...;)

Until we'd done it

I just watched it with my wife and son. It seemed well put together enough. The puking reminded me of some PT sessions we have done. I did not know the land nav was a cumulative 50 miles. Is that how it has always been? A good SGT from 19th group told me the first time through selection he WVed because of all the unknown waiting around. I imagine there was not a lot of that in the 2 week version. HE also said that the best thing physically to remember is "legs and lungs". Looked about right...

It looked like a well put together show. I almost, at one point, felt sorry for the
team 4 PL.

That one team that used thier rucks to carry the downed pilot and the way they spelled each other by sliding in and out, was interesting.

I cringed when the commentator asked if there had ever been any women QP's.
I was thrilled to see they sidestepped that pandora's box nicely.

The Nasty Nick, looks like great fun.

Unfortunatley I missed the show last night. I've been looking all over for when they might replay it but with no luck. Does anybody have any info about when it might be coming on again?

Thanks.

There are no future airings scheduled at this time. It should be on youtube very soon though.
