So far I've never expierenced anything harder than Ranger School... That shit will make a grown man cry, myself included. Now I have Robin Sage to look forward too:

My final exam before I can call myself a Green Beret.

So anyways whats the hardest thing you've ever gone through, getting lossed in the woods, could be a final exam, loss of a loved one anything etc. etc.

I'm just sick of the 'music video/top 5 songs blah blah who gives a crap threads.

i went through "ranger school lite" when i was younger. it was amazing and i had the best time ever but it was really, really hard. i'm sure it wasn't even a 10th of legitimate ranger school though.

Lose of a loved one isn't really something you do though. I mean, my mom passing when I was 13 was the worst part of my life, but the toughest thing I have done is...well...I don't really know. My life has been cake so far, I think right now through this summer will be the most trying time of my life.

I'm going on terminal leave May 16th and getting my honorable discharge from USCG on July 7th, I don't have a job yet and want to continue a professional career in IT networking or telecommunications, both of which have been kinda poop since the .com bust and the ongoing economic problems.

Also plan on going to school to get a bachelors in business management and I want to get into IT consulting...so I would say the next 2-3 years of my life will be the toughest I'll go through.

Yes but, I can remember giving a speech at my Grandpa's funeral, which was tough.(esspecially because he died cause Florida Dr's suck dick, but thats a whole other story.)

Maybe the heading is a little off, but it still works.

My first year of baseball conditioning in 9th grade. A lot of running and lifting. At the time I hate it but later on I think about it and I realize that it's good for me.

probably a 1:31 half marathon, but honestly thats not anything compared to losing a loved one or ranger school I would assume

so wait, did we determine that losing a loved one was a legit response here?

if so, holding my mom's hand and watching her take her last breath was the most horrendous thing i'll ever see.

Wrestling in high school. My coach likened himself to Dan Gable. From freshman year to senior year I never saw the light of day during the week from November to March. Practice before school and after school every day. If our performance for a meet was deemed poor (even if we won) we'd run afterwards. And our runs would typically consist of carrying guys on our shoulder running full gait, up and down stairs. When school started in September we'd start "conditional" workouts. Most people puked from the intensity. Many of the scholar athletes went on to military academies. Many of the not-so-scholarly athletes went straight into military recruitment. Their reported experiences were breeze-like in comparison to their brethren.

For me, it made hell-week at my fraternity pretty easy.

baseball conditioning every year...in between all the miles and suicides everyday we still have to do 60 second poles, like 4 of them...meaning you have 60 seconds to sprint from foul pole to foul pole and back in the outfield, you might think its easy but its pretty much running 600+ feet in 60 seconds.

baseball conditioning rofl, lol we barley run in our practices, just 10 min straight at the end of practice... the most ur gonna need to sprint is 270 feet unless you get a inside the park homerun.

Physically the hardest thing I ever did was ride my bike up sugarloaf mountain three weeks ago.

Mentally not sure what the hardest thing was. I would probably say it was sophomore year of high school when I was on three different baseball teams at the same time and had to juggle school, work and usually two practices or a game per day. I ended up burning myself out after that summer and quitting baseball.

the guy I work out w/ played baseball in HS and college, he's always telling me how hard that shit was. We have been pushing our workouts to the limit for months now so I know when he says "this was almost as hard as that time in baseball practice" and I'm completely exhausted that real baseball practice must be no joke. But when we each did the 300 workout he admitted that it was harder than anything he had to do in baseball.

its really hard on your body. before i came here i started riding my bike and running just to get back in shape. i think i wouldn't been able to do it without working out .everything is difficult at first... the hike itself and carrying about 40 lbs of your life on your back, plus the elements and just so many other things... i think that day it was about 18degrees. this is my friend at night, lol....http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v45/209/90/132400201/n132400201_30010328_510.jpgit was completely worth it . im off ...
