Today, I have an Army fitness test. I was worried I'd cramp up during the last mile of the run, so I drank a large amount of water in preparation. I later woke up in the very small barracks that I share with three other people, soaking in a puddle of my own piss. FML

UH60 tells us more.

Yep, didn't cramp and so dropped two minutes off my run.

Water is overrated anyway. Try Monster M-80.

Water sucks it really sucks! Gatorade!

Did the other people notice the puddle? Cause it could've been something minor,...unless it got on your bunk mates too:x

No, but I had to do laundry at 3 am lol My saving grace was that all day my piss was clear, so it didn't smell as bad as it could have.

Is boot camp very hard or not really?

No, not really. It's fairly easy so long as you do what you're told and meet each standard (or better, exceed). The most difficult portion for me was just getting along with others when everyone is under a lot of stress. Especially the **** faces who always walk up to formation late.

It also depends on when and where you do it at. When I joined in 08 it was harder than it was now, I'm sure it'll just get easier in a couple years as well.

It's not too bad but I was also Air Force in early spring. You want to join the military but nervous about the fitness? Air Force during the summer. But they've made it harder since '04 I hear it's longer and you have to carry around a fake M4. Some idiotic "Fit to Fight" measure that put a star on some birds shoulder.

YDI Op, anyways u passed the test that is what gets count, congoz...u cherish the pissy moments shared with those 3 persons in the barrack ;)

I took a piss right before bed like always, so no, I don't think I did deserve it. I literally peed 14 times that day, but I do have to say that it was worth it to drop two minutes off the run.

u mean to say after all the incident PISS GOD was happy on U!

And that's why you drink water in the morning, before you actually begin.

You must not know how to properly hydrate.

you dont know how to properly hydrate either op...you pissed yourself...

I actually concur with #30 OP, but not to be a dick. Water poisoning is real and you shouldn't drink so much that you wet your bed without realizing it. Be careful out there! Got plenty of friend's still in the service!

Water wouldn't have helped the cramping. You need electrolytes and water. But I feel bad for you! I hope you aren't too upset by this. It could've happened to anyone.

you just contradicted yourself...you don't need water but you need water

Get some POTASSIUM pills. Potassium prevents cramps. Take two or three before you run, works like a charm.

I've had my share of embarrassing moments. It kinda sucks now, but it will be funny somewhere down the line. You've also got an inside joke for life with your roommates. The ones who didn't laugh too hard are keepers!

My last APFT this guy had the ***** and couldn't hold it on the sit-ups. Glad I wasn't holding his feet.
