sit-ups and push-ups some won't make it so someone's gonna go home I wanted to pass out like give me a gallon of water let me drink it so we were all really stressed about who was gonna pass it wasn't gonna pass let's go get up there come on don't think about it let's go come on five more five more I happily that I didn't think I wasn't able to pass it I'm glad so hopefully I can pass the next one were a better score with the PFA I knew I was ready I was ready for it before coming to boot camp but the day before I got really really sick still I felt sick during the PFA but I just pushed because I didn't want to get separated so that PFA baseline is just that it's the baseline it's not even the actual PFA standard and if they can't meet the baseline then they probably need to go fly something else to do [Music] you I don't give a crap if you're tired if you take the feedback too heavy you came here sir gonna do it week one of actual bootcamp they can expect to be staying up late long hours working at a fast pace they're gonna be expected to pass this one qualification and the expected March as a unit and those are all things that were trained them from the beginning completed they're gonna have to bring together week one and make sure they're performing almost asked so in few days we we are allowed and we are aggressive with them but we are instructors at first we teach it we're teaching them everything we take our time because come week one then it's not we don't have time to train every little thing over and over again they need to learn it so when we're telling them at first I need to pick stuff up and this is how it has to be done come week one that we expect that happens when they start failing during week one then they're actually held accountable for their actions anything that you were before you came here you ain't goodbye to that that's gone you get as long as people in this world want to take your life because of where you live because of where you breathe you must be ready and if you're not ready we don't need you [Music] you
