One of the things I am having to endure about going to Iraq is here people trying to get me to do things with the reasoning of Iraq behind it.
Example: You know Kerns you really need to run hard during P/T because your going to Iraq.
Example: Kerns you need to really be doing these team sports becuse you are going to Iraq.
I have told more than one person to, "shut up," when telling me this and I ask them, "How do you know? Are you going to Iraq? Do you know people who went through the training?"
Well, you know what I do know people who went through it, and they have told me what goes on there.
Of course being in the best shape you can be helps you. Hell, being in better shape helps a person with anything, but dont try to trick me into trying to do better in my P/T by holding Iraq over my head. I am not 7! I know what's ahead of me.
If you were there and you know what you are talking about then come at me with your advice. If not just shut up and run!
