    The Land Operations Temperate Boots (LOTB)

    I was under the impression they have recently stopped issuing out boots due to a massive amounts of breakdowns on the royer models? I have one of each and much prefer the terras over the royers.

    Marks / Grades: School / GED or PLAR [MERGED]

    You've got A LOT of life experience here, I can relate to the whole "not so good grades" in high school because I didn't have a solid idea of what exactly I wanted to do and only worked part time jobs and dropped my college education for the army and I haven't looked back since. Good Luck

    Recruiting Process

    x2. Start running 5 km, then go for 7.5 and then 10 km, and then go back to each and see if you can complete it faster. If you don't have upper body strength start using workouts that are based specially for it, like try and find someone to go with you to do pullups and you will get better.

    Does it look bad?

    Don't aim for just 9.. aim for 25, and then aim for 50, always do more then what is asked, doing the bare minimum is half assed, I'd rather fight alongside someone who can struggle to do 25 when the minimum is 19 or in your case 9, it will make you feel more rewarded in the end.. Good Luck

    BMQ tips/tricks

    55. NEVER LIE. I don't care if you had relations with a nun in a pew. Tell me the truth. It will be far easier on you than when I inevitably discover the truth. And I can never trust you again. The Army runs on accountability and reliability. If you are a liar, you have neither.
