Training At Uni...

[Chappy]

You dont want to waste some of your best years of your life running do you?

Let us not forget the unbelievable amount of debt

Giving a teenager that amount of money when they are young is brilliant, so what if it needs paying off later in life? Your old, you cant spend it on women as you have a nagging wife who doesnt look after herself anymore, your not allowed to the pub, you have three kids constantly at your feet, you dream about the 16 year old girl next door and your luxury in life is watching Ant and Dec`s Saturday Night Takeaway. What else can you spend your money on? Paying back £3 a week for the rest of your life isnt bad when you can think of the memories you had.

Think back to the days when you pissed £9k against a wall, slept with 906856093458 women, only ate a pot noodle a day, wore the same clothes for 3 months, watched the entire back catalogue of Columbo and Murder She Wrote, perfected your David Dickinson impression, smoked an ounce of skunk a hour, every hour, on the hour.

Klink: Some people take part in fitness training because they like it. I really enjoy cycling and im moving out to Majorca in April so I can do serious training before returning in a year or two to join the Royal Marines. I am also finally able to start running again after a very long layouf because of fractured shins. Just because I will be living about 10minutes away from Magaluf does not mean im going to out there each night drinking the free beer and taking all sorts of the available drugs.

Not everyone enjoys doing drugs and lounging about all day while raking up debt.


Back to the original question;

If you really are interested in joining the Marines and want to be constantly pushing yourself physically and mentally while gaining your degree then I would do what was already suggested.

Join the RMR while at uni. Best of both worlds if you ask me.

Spot on.

I withdraw my statement

My thinking is that im fed up of education and doing mundane work at a desk for hours on end.....

Robj - totally agree. Going to university doesn't mean you have to turn into a lazy, unwashed, over-opinionated arse - you can still do all the drinking and shagging without turning into some kind of smelly, pasty skinned hippy.

The most important thing about keeping fit whilst at Uni is to have a routine. Once you've got that sorted you're laughing. If you want to piss some of your life up the wall, live as a stinking bum and get into plenty of debt, you could just as well take a gap year - thats what I did, and to be frank it was a load of bollocks.

Drink lots and shag anything that moves - but don't become a vegetable as it'll do you no favours in the long run. You don't need to spend much time doing phys to keep yourself at a good level of fitness.
