During PTP, training is still considered not that tough. It gets
tougher and tougher as the weeks go by.
It's just that some people are not physically active prior to
enlisting. As a result, their bodies cannot handle the strain of
even (relatively) light PTP training.
I wasn't physically active prior to NS, and as a result, my body
took a beating in the first few weeks of BMT. I remember my joints
being really stiff and creaky during the weekends at home.
Eventually my body conditioned itself to the training, and I got
fitter and fitter.
Bottom line: no two people have the same body. Some bodies can
handle the stress, others can't. Be glad if you're in the former,
and don't be disheartened if you're in the latter category.
Yup agreed...I was well prepared, so BMT was not that tough for
me....
