Welcome.

And in response to the quoted piece of your post:

No.... it's up to you to prove to your instructors that you have what it takes, mentally, physically, spiritually and intellectually. The step you are about to take is all on you, should you fail, you fail of your own accord, should you excel, you excel on your own accord. You can not blame anybody but you for failure, but you should thank those that helped if succeed. That's one of the old school rules of military leadership - Share credit, accept blame.

Welcome and good luck.

Keep that weight down. I'm a larger individual myself; the extra weight does you no favors.

Fully agreed and that's what I hold myself to. Don't know why I put it that way. Appreciate it
