PT wasn’t all punishment, it was just one more challenge to meet. DI's are some sick mofo's, that's for sure. They pinned me to a guy who was 30 pounds overweight. I was on double rats, he was on half rats.
I thought I was going to have to fight him once to keep him away from my chow. LOL!
He did it, though. He lost the weight and by the time we headed off for AIT we were lean, mean fighting machines.
After I got through Scout School the instructor told me "It's always you skinny, quiet f****** we gotta watch out for. The big weightlifter types drop out in the first couple of weeks, usually."
For some odd reason I was pretty proud of myself that day.

The skinny dudes were interesting, fast as hell but had trouble when the DI's told them to do the same 30 mile run in full gear. Us bulky guys were the ones passing them by while they struggled with the extra weight of helmet, armor and rifle. Felt nice that day. Of course they smoked us in PT gear.
