I'm guessing you're over weight, you should really work on dropping over twenty pounds (IMHO)....OSUT will not prepare you for RIP nor will Airborne School. The runs in RIP are smokin' and that extra weigh will ruin your day.
I am a big guy too and 193 was a good weight for me.....and the runs really were tough....the more work you do now the better you chances will be during RIP. Trust me on that.
Good luck and Never Quit.

For instance, you could stop reading and instead do 50 elevated pushups! :shock:
Yes Ranger Matador 275 I have done a few searches and get bombarded with info and I do PT a lot after I read the forums. I've dropped about 30 pounds and run till I fall over.

Ranger Hoover thank you for your post and your answer as you have answered one of my questions. I will continue working just as hard as I have for the past six months.
