The Army PT Test, The Infantryman, and God
My unit was recently deployed in support of Operation Nobody Gives A Fuck Anymore. It sucked. It was hot. People tried to kill us. We killed them. Nothing to write a book about. Now we have since returned, had some leave and time to drink, fuck and fight our problems away. Or at least hold them down long enough to manifest themselves into severe depression, alcoholism and insomnia. Whatever.
It is now time to do things like paper work, stare at the wall pondering how a meth lab works, and pt tests. Ahh yes, the dreaded pt test. You know the one everybody knew would come but didn't prepare for. The one with scores so low, leadership shits their pants and says everybody has to do pt 43 times a day to get the average up. Oh yeah, that one. They're always horrible. The scores always suck and everybody always gets pissed because now they have to do pt 632 times a day or get buttfucked through their eye socket because they are out of shape, hungover, and still high.
Low scores are expected. But FAILING scores, a large amount of FAILING scores in an infantry unit is a fucking problem. Let's face it, that test is weak as fuck. As an Infantryman you should be able to pass a pt test to the "Army standard" (180) on accident. A failing score, as an Infantryman, indicates a serious need to re-evaluate your life, think about religion and consider your "options". I am by no means a "motivated" soldier. I hate the Army and pt tests as much as I do muslims. But, I could not do pt for a month, get black out drunk, piss the bed the night before, wake up, put my uniform on, not shower, shoot up some heroin, and score a 180 on the Army's candy ass pt test. Now, you might say I'm superhuman. You might also say that I'm a crossbreed of a lion and a banshee shot up with steroids from birth until the heavens above released me to this world to save mankind. Or you might call me a pussy for not scoring a 300. All of these statements would be true.
What I witnessed today was like Sandusky at an all boys summer camp. It was like being forced to watch puppies get run over while at the same time having broken glass shoved down your dickhole and listening to weird techno music. There was a FUCKING 2 DIGIT PT SCORE. I felt violated.
I am at a loss, seeking counseling and taking medication. I am offended. Not only as a leader, but as a man. Because anybody who calls himself a man, especially an Infantryman, should be able to pass an Army pt test, unless hospitalized or in the process of being raped. Man the fuck up.
