<Ft Knox ... it wasnt that bad, its really your attitude throughout it- plus its only 9 weeks (plus maybe a week or so of reception where you just sit around). before you know it youll be in 'blue phase'. anyone else go to knox and have to ruck up misery, heartbreak, and agony hills?
on a side note- ILL BE HOME FROM DEPLOYMENT IN LESS THAN A WEEK! its been a long ****in year. 30 day block leave? yes please!

exactly. it doesnt make you a good soldier, it makes you good at fronting as a good soldier, and hiding things really well.
okay maybe it makes you a good soldier. but still good at hiding.

I went to Knox (as a Marine). We used to run up and down misery and agony for PT all the time.... and laugh at the little privates struggling to walk it. And then shoot airsoft bb's at passing formations from our barracks. And yell at privates who flagged us with their rifles while walking by (which was a lot).
You want hills.... come to Camp Pendleton. It'll blow your mind, bro.

Quantico bro. The ****ing water tower run is like a 3 mile long uphill. Also TBS side is like a ****in roller coaster.

Yeah when I was a 19D I went there....way back in '96. It wasnt that bad, and we had it worse. (Not just saying it, but we really did...)

Qauntico does not have bigger or steeper hills then Pendleton, I promise you that.
I mean, we've got a hill nick-named the Elevator... take a wild guess why?

I mean, a 3 story building with an Elevator is not a hill.

Its a lot easier to get to a higher elevation using that hill than walking up some stairs?

I won't say it does or doesn't, but I didn't think Quantico was that crazy.
pics of SOI area in pendleton:
(by the way... I hiked up that ***** in PT gear one weekend while I was in SOI/MCT. It is no joke)
size reference of how big the trail is:
On "Recon Ridge", at the top of the ridge. You want rollercoasters? We got rollercoasters.
