Well that is what the forum is here for, or at least one of the reasons. Glad to see that you are enjoying yourself, that is half the battle.
Thank you sir. I finished in 28:26 and I’m a bit disappointed in myself for the time but the course was more hilly than I expected. I didn’t consider that. I’m going to work much harder next week. 10k in four weeks. I’m still only at level 7 of the beep test. I just want to will myself to improve faste. Thanks again for your kind wishes
What is your height by the way? You should try and get your BMI 25, 26 at max? I'm 6ft on the dot and 210, was 264 before I started training again, ate the same as I did before my injury and wasn't doing any exercise. However back on the wagon now and going full tilt. Always good when us fatties nut up and shut up and get into shape.
Nobody here Is pessimistic about Americans. Maybe guys from 1er RE and gestapo are, but there is a reason behind that suspicion. So if you get your chance ... make statistics for your fellow Americans little bit better. Serve full your 5 years!
Well, who would have thought it a very encouraging post from Dusa,
so that while you are in Aubagne you will be saying to yourself, and it gets worse?Thank you very much.Well, who would have thought it a very encouraging post from Dusa,
Only joking, but he is absolutely correct, when the 'gestapo' see yet another American knocking on the door, they must say to themselves, I wonder how long he will last?
It is worth noting that when you join, you go through Aubagne, when you leave, you go through Aubagne.
Anthony you are doing really well with the fitness and losing weight. Keep it up and make sure that you are ready when you go. When I say ready, I mean physically and mentally. Mentally because you've heard all these wild tales about Castel and the farm
And it does, but I can guarantee you that once in your regiment you'll be like a duck in water.
Obviously you didn't read enough. Yes there is those who write some stupid things about being American is such huge handicap but most of them doing that as excuse and comfort for their failure.
. I know about 10- 20 Amers who are accepted for my time on forum.
I'm not looking for anything, just trying to keep my head down, work hard, and go. It is nerve wracking basing your entire future on something that may be over in the first ten minutes! I'll never quit for sure.Obviously you didn't read enough.

Yes they are rejected just for being American, please
You will never hear that someone came here and say that he was asked for civil after just couple days. and believe me that is pretty common way that guys go home. Then some of them come here and cry that they are rejected because of nationality.
As American they will checking your motivation more intensely than some other guys but nothing more than that. You still have same chances as everyone.
But I have to say that I already don't like your attitude. You already looking for reasons to be rejected and should be opposite.
