Basketball has nothing in common with being a qualified paratrooper. You just needed an excuse not to join and made this comparasion to avoid further questions. I played basketball myself before going in the military. Got sprained ankles, knees and bashed up tendons on a few fingers to boot. Yet these same injuries never interfered with me firing a weapon, communicating on a radio or humpin the boonies in days gone by. Excuses are necessary for those that can't or won't cut the mustard. It is a mental crutch to say the least you have given yourself. I think there is nothing for you here on this site and you should just keep on going until you find a place you can call home because this site is not for you.XakEp wrote:I've met with some recruiters, and while I was tempted I had to choose not to. For me it was all or nothing, and if I cant pull my own weight and then some I'm not going to take the place of someone else who could have.
I'm 6'6" and growing up I was constantly spraining my ankles and twisting my knees. I cant even play basketball today.
Keep on moving kiddo, this site can never be your home. Your excuse is your home.
buh bye
