So was I. I was never a 300(+) PFT, at a minimum (that's 20 deadhang pull-ups, 100 sit ups in 2 minutes or less, and 3.2 miles in 18:00 flat, or less; and generally it took a lot better score than the minimum 300 PFT). I was certainly not up to some of the other stuff that it took.

Shooting was/is the easy part.
