"Training reportedly includes a 36-mile march in 12 hours and a five-mile run in 20 minutes in full gear."
I'm not sure I buy the 5 miles in 20 minutes in full gear.

There are maybe, what, a handful of people in the entire world who can run a 4 minute mile under ideal conditions and the reporter claims these folks can do five 4 minute miles in succession with a full pack?

I'm not sure I buy the 5 miles in 20 minutes in full gear. Maybe the full gear includes a bicycle.

Not buying that at all. 4 minute miles in full gear? Bullcrap.

One of our employees tried out for Marine Force Recon. From what he told us, on day 1, they pushed out (actually kicked out) everyone from a boat 20 miles off shore and the instructor said “ OK, there’s the shore, I’ll see you later.”
