This letter is an ancient urban legend. Was originally signed by "your son Jeb". Probably written by Mark Twain.

Seriously though, I had a cousin that claimed he was in better shape before he arrived at Parris Island than he was when he left. But he had been a collegiate wrestler and was forever competing in those Iron Man competitions.

A lot of people don’t realize it but wrestling requires a pretty good amount of strength, agility, and stamina. He said that when it came to push-ups, sit-ups, rope climbing, and pull-ups they trained harder in high school than they did in the Marines.

He could have been stretching the truth a bit, but I have seen them working out for wrestling and watched them do sit-ups by the hundreds on an incline board hugging a 50 pound plate. I’ve seen them do sets of 50 push-ups with another 180-something pound wrestler standing on their upper back. So maybe he wasn’t kidding much.

Forgive me for not understanding the meaning for this thread.

Might've gone over better if it was attributed to an Army recruit.
