I'm no corpmen so I ask those health freaks out there what might be the effects of running a PFT (3mile,in under 28 min, run 100 crunches and as many pullups as you can) with out having any sleep prior, roughly 30 hrs. and drinking 3 monsters and a ginseng extract supplement? just wondering if I'm going to have a heart attack or something.

If you want to kill yourself there are much faster ways to do it.

Yeah, you're going to have a heart attack. Sorry dude. Will you leave me your computer?

Actually you'll probably be fine. You should take up smoking and eat more fried foods if you really want that heart attack.

Well In all honesty I'm seeing a large amout of grey spots in my vision and BAS is closed. So either I should go get a corpmen to look at me or just go to sleep. damn I got a head ache and that 2000mg of gensang aint helping.

such words of encouragement make me feel so good

Yeah, your heart is going to collapse.

Well, one effect will be that you won't go and do that again in a hurry...

You can say that again I havent had a head ache this big since I roled my last car 8 times.

Your post contains many terms I do not understand. So I'm just going to go ahead and say you have the Bird FlAIDS.

The spots you're seeing are probably floaters.

It's common to see them when you're sleep deprived and tired. If you can manage to stay up a little longer you might start hallucinating. One case I read about involved a chronically sleep deprived nurse who's mind transformed the floaters into little swastikas when around her patients. She started to believe that she was psychically detecting that certain patients were nazis.

What possibly could have possessed you to think this was a good idea?

Sleep deprivation is something I have to deal with it comes with the job. I more intrested to know about what the cafine and ginsang are going to the sleep deprived body of mine.

Getting caught up in a game of warhammer 40k and the looking at my watch and realizing I need to be at the PFT field in 20 minutes or my Gunnery Sgt. is going to charge me With UA

Man, stick with 40k. It’s a hell of a lot more fun than what sounds like a bloody gruelling exercise course thingy. I’m no doctor, and I’m certainly no expert on army training, but at the very least you’ll not give a very good performance. At the worst you might hurt yourself badly.

How bad is this ‘UA’?

Feeling for you dude. I’m recovering from an excruciatingly tough 6-hour Warhammer Quest dungeon.

But I’m not running or getting shouted at by the dude from Full Metal Jacket.

Again, its like you're speaking a whole separate language.

One of the first symptoms of the Bird FlAIDS..

UA can be punished by anything from a slap on the wrist to loss of rank, half months pay and restriction to the barracks. and if it happens enough you could even get admin sep from the corp which is not a good thing. My gunny is preety cool so I would probably get a slap on the wrist but with promotion time so close Id rather not risk it.

Gunnery sgt. think full metal jacket drill instructor. UA= Unotherized absence.

warhammer 40k is a game but not a computer game or console game.

UA (unauthorized absence) would have been a hell of a lot worse. Could result in extra duty, loss of pay, or even time in the brig. No, better to suffer from the spots and headache. At the very least he would end up on Guny's "shit list" and that is definatly not the place to be. Once you are there life from that point on is all down hill.

Brig time is a bit of a streach when you've reached that point your considered a deserter. (I know I cant spell)

and amen on not wanting to be on the gunnys shit list I pissed of a staf sgt once and that was bad enough.

I know how that can be, I used to carry a shit list. :eek: Brig time is a streach but is possible under the UCMJ. It is howeve only used for chronic offenders or more serious offences.

I did have a trop once who did not get the pocket on his pants after being told to do so once and ordered to do so the second time. The result was a reduction in pay, but he was already on my shit list for missing a movement. He was finally tosssed out of the Air Force.

he must have been a real shit bag. Well at least he's being nasty in the civ world now. The military dosent need any more bad press or representation.

Well the little gray sopts are overrunning me and I must call it a day'
