Have you ever had a trainee that was too big/over weight for the top bunk ? I'm not going to sugar coat it I'm a big guy well over 350lbs but i'm eating better and drinking more water. I have been overweight all my life but lately do to sitting around drinking lots of soft drinks its gone up.

I'm not lazy and can work my butt off and learn quick I'm just worried about this I supposed to start school next month and its really eating at me

Any good, honest trainer will adapt to the student. There's not many willing to give up their bottom bunk but there are trainers that are willing to. You'll have a bit more of a struggle because you'll have to be looking for Mr. Extra-Nice-Guy but this definitely wont be as big of a problem as you might think.

Keep at it sir, this won't stop you.

Just as a f'rinstance, my mentor made the top bunk his private area. He had put a curtain across for added privacy. So, no question, I had the bottom bunk.

No, he wasn't in any way weird. He was/is an excellent mentor.

Okay that just sounds wrong! What exactly did he use this private area for?

I never looked. We did talk about Star Trek (original series) a lot. He's a black belt instructor in Tal Kwan Do.

I think he slept up there.

Uh huh, whatever you say lad! He could sleep without the added privacy... I think theres more to this story, but if that's his story then we can just keep pretending to believe him.
