Clutch,
As Dan mentioned the standards are extremely strict but we are really hurting for runners in the program. It is dominated by other sports such as wrestling and boxing. Phil Sakala, who just ran 3:38 for 1500m, emily browowski(ran 2:45:02 at the 2007 cim marathon) and myself are the only three runners in the program. What distances do you specialize in? There are many Soldier athletes in the program who were great coming out of high school, college and others like me who were a shot in the dark and produced after given a chance to train full time. We have a conditional wcap program where if you have a level of talent and have shown promise to make an Olympic Trials standard or hold a high national ranking, you can be excepted. This was the case for me and emily. I had to break 2:22:00 under the old USATF standards last year to be considered to remain in the program the next 4 years and fortunately was able to run 2:19:35. Like Dan mentioned the recruiters know very little about the wcap program and if they do know about it they cannot put such a unit automatically into your enlistment contract. You have to have shown some form of running ability to be 'considered'. Here to help.

Might be time to take down all the profiles you have up on there, then.
hahaha, maybe you should stop gocking at my pretty face, dont you have a 20 min 5K to go run:):)
I'd never have even seen you on there if you hadn't listed yourself as being female in all of your profiles. You may run fast, but your brain is slower than old people fcuking. What shitty institution of higher learning socially promoted your moronic ass through?
haha you know more about those old profiles more than me, looks like your still doing some searching yourself, unlike me but good luck to you. I was just responding to someone (clutch) who was interested in the army's program the 'moronic-ass' posters are usually the ones who post a disrespectful response that has nothing to do with him. I know you walk free and can say what you want, because of the Soldiers in our armed forces, Im not mad at you.....Natey??????
but that being said I may be a moron with a masters degree working toward a doctoral degree and be respected as a 'ok' runner (I say that cause 1:07 and 2:19 is not that fast) but atleast my moronic ass can spell..gotta love the letsrun trolls.
I'm still laughing over "gocking". Get over yourself already, little guy, you opened yourself up to this just like you have every other time in the past and just like your mental twin Teddy Mitchell always has. Just like with Mitchell, I can't disrespect you any further than you already disrespect yourself. I actually haven't looked on that site in years, I just couldn't get over the hilarity of a boob who not only was so puzzled by the software that he put up multiple profiles but also was so easily stymied that he couldn't figure out how to list himself as a male seeking a female and in fact listed himself as the complete opposite! When you see something that incredibly stupid it kinda sticks with you. Face it, you're stupid and the fact that you think that any soldiers in the past 50 years have done jackshit to protect any freedoms for US citizens is a testament to how easily brainwashed you are. You're the bitch of rich people and for what? The saddest part is that you are worth more as a target for insurgents who are pissed off because we wrecked their country to get their oil than you ever would be working in the private sector. Maybe to you it beats pumping gas for a living.

I don't know about that, "gocking" isn't a word and "your" is not the contraction for "you are." Your undergrad degree, let alone your graduate studies, can't be worth very much. Is it from one of those military "colleges?"
yes but its the fact that 'years' have gone by and you still find it important to mention an old ass profile of mine and that you remember me so well hahah Hey listen, your barking to the wrong crowd when you degrade our Soldiers. I know in this country we have supporters and we have non-supporters, obviously you being one of them. Two of our wcap Soldier-athletes are paraolympians, each had one of their legs blown off. You know nothing of that type of pain and anquish and you have never had to go into a war zone, your way of thinking is 'little'. I never said I agreed with this war but when I raised my hand it was to defend our nation, not soley to run and it sure as hell was not about money and the 'rich people' you supposedly think I work for. Do you realize when you say 'your stupid' to someone of my background, you seriously make yourself sound like a child and those that know me personally would agree with me. In regards to 'opening up', when you talk about our Soldiers and service men and women who have sacrificed their lives, limbs and families for people like you, anyone who simply comes to this site to learn, to help others, your going to get some thoughts and trust me you can do that on account of the brave men and women of the usa.
Yeah, you're so above being lured in and smacked over the head by trolls. You're way too easy, simpleton.
I went to the University of Northern Colorado and finished my graduate education while working a full time job, running 110 miles a week and having to start and re-start my curriculum due to being deployed. Fortunately, the faculty respected what I was doing and let me finish. Hey listen, I can go on all day in dialogue with someone like you because all it does is show you and the public that reads this just how little YOU know of the grit and dedication Soldiers possess.
Armyrunner4u

How conveeeeeeeeeenient that your posts have identical levels of shitty writing, then!
ArmyRunner4U,
I'm curious what your credentials are. I don't know him, but Nate is on this board as himself. He is a very good athlete and appears to be an upstanding soldier. It's clear to me your posts are personal in nature. So I would like to know:
1. What is your name?
2. What are your athletic accomplishments?
3. What are your academic credentials?
4. What do you do for a living?
