OOC
I was also the nerdy, bookish, short, and scrawny guy when I enlisted. What nobody knew was that, while I may not have played sports on a regular basis, I was actually quite athletic. I was also a Boy Scout for a long time, had a lot of experience in the outdoors. When I went into the Guard on delayed entry, there was another recruit, a jock, who said I would never pass. I admit to having teouble with push-ups (still do), and spending a month in the Fitness Training Company, but he was cycled out as Unfit. He thought it would be easy for him. I thought it would be far more difficult than it turned out to be, but I had set myself to prove that idiot wrong.
