Thought this thread might interest you all. I have bit my lip and refrained from comment thus far.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
26th President of the United States.


Pretty much sums it up for me.

Yeah, he's a fool. I bet he got discharged , medically, or because he fell behind, and wanted to do something easier. Now he has this hate on for the Marines because they kicked his ass.

He cannot spell and believes that RM training is 6 months.

This post isn’t even worth getting wound up over it’s so ridiculous, for example even IF any of what that “Pino” guy is saying is actually true I don’t see any reason for him expressing his RM experience in such a derogatory and bitter manner.

In my experience, the Ross Training forums have some great fitness articles but they also contain a high amount of total crap. I only need to refer the below thread to further support my point…

Unless things have changed and I've not kept myself up to date RM training is roughly six months (32 weeks out of 52 weeks in a year).

:lol: Was thinking of posting this here my self, Pinney (or what ever his name was) did rather annoy me, I was hoping for something like 1 Commando as his answer too my question (where where you based (what unit) etc) Perhaps he was there but when he said he dropped out half way though and still thought it was easy :roll: made me decide I wasn't even going to bother replying to it as I can't see the point. (only start arguing)

If he found it easy (which I doubt) then good for him... perhaps he should go and fight the Taliban in Iraq all on his own, after all he is just that great! :roll:

Just wondering if someone thought PRMC or RM/RT was easy he would complete it wouldn't he? Coming out with all that bull about he dropped out as it was to easy. Makes me want to meet him and smack him up a bit but I'm not going to stoop to his level. :-?

Exactly, I was going to become the first 16 year old, too win the all the Olympic gold medals at (100M, 200M, 800M 1500M and the marathon)... but I decided against it as that would be far too easy :roll: ,so I decide to talk about almost attempting it on a internet forum, I was going to, honest! :lol:

P.S. I’ve gone way too far again haven’t I. :oops: :P

Haha made me laugh. I haven't attempted training yet but I'm sure it can't be as easy as these guys say. As the saying goes if it's easy everyone would do it
