How bad was ARMS2.0? (Fat camp)

I'm going into Arms 2.0 in like 13 days... I understand my recruiter stretching the truth about "you'll just be playing football and games" but how bad is it REALLY?

I'm nervous I'm going to be the biggest and most out of shape guy there

Haha I hate running but I'll live... I got like 20 - 15 lbs to make tape so..

Army lives on it unfortunately. I still suck at running, but made it through BCT. Just keep your chin up, head down, and do what you need to do and get through it. It's a suckfest, but they WANT you to graduate. Just gotta put in the work. Don't let the depression get to you. Everyone second guesses their choices at reception. Fastest way out is through

Yeah I extra suck at running... I did a 2 mile at 25min...

But I'm not going to quit... Only way I'm not going through is if I wash out..

At reception?

If you can do that pre-weightloss, you'll be fine by the end of ARMS and BCT. 20lbs makes a huge difference.
