I was just released from the Canadian Forces basic training, and as pathetic as this sounds, I signed a voluntary release on my 3rd day. There were small reasons, like I didn't have any idea what I was getting into when I signed up, but the main reason was I collapsed twice when standing at attention with my platoon, the first time was 30 minutes into standing up, the 2nd time was 15 minutes standing outside an instructor's office.
I wonder what it's like for every other recruit in the army. Is it easy for them to stand still during drill? Are they thinking "Hmm it's been an hour, my legs are getting tired," and not "Oh God, I'm starting to black out, the blood sugar's draining from my head!" I have this issue. I can stand up for long periods, as long as I can move muscles freely. It must be great to be one of those that doesn't worry about this issue, that standing up for long periods of time doesn't bother them a bit. Anyone got their 2 cents on this issue?
