Out of curiosity, what was your motto SP?

I got to eat lunch with the Cadets last April and I was very impressed with the meal! I am sure though after four years it gets old. That's pretty much the standard with any Army meal though.

Don't be mistaken you are far wiser than most when it comes to this. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say "we should just drop a nuke on this place and turn it into a parking lot". At least you are keeping current, researching, and making an educated observation. Don't...

It's not that easy.

It's been an incredibly bloody year especially in RC-E. My prayers go out to all the families and comrades of those lost today.

Yes you can, and I would. You want to paint the best picture of yourself. If you feel that what you send to your Congressman is a great representation of yourself than I would definitely send it up to the Senators.

They have a book out "7 weeks to 50 Pull-Ups". As far as the effectiveness of that program I cannot say. I may download it today for my kindle to see. The ARMY requires you take a physical fitness test every six months. The events are two minutes of pushups, two minutes of situps, and a...

For pullups I just do a ton of them whenever. Me and my squad leader built a makeshift stand next to our building here. Whenever I go into the compound I knock out some. For the gym I do more than half my body weight on the lat pull down machine at 3 sets of 12+.

Every advice I have ever received on pushups situps or the two mile run usually included "the only way to get better at x event is to do x event". With that being said, I have been on a workout regimen for pushups and situps that has proven very effective. http://hundredpushups.com/...

Even though I am Army 100%, I gotta give my love to the Coast Guard being from Coast Guard City USA! Happy Birthday CG!

Give yourself a diagnostic CFA. Kudos for being a swimmer! I was also a swimmer but had a hard time with the run. Other than that, just keep breathing and stay motivated:thumb:

For me I would be able to be home far more often than I have for the past five years!!:yllol:

Everything that Bill said has helped me improved. In addition to that I would also throw in lat pull-downs at half your body weight (or more) x 3 sets of 12 reps. Anything you can do to shed unnecessary pounds will help as well. Luckily if you eat properly and keep up with your run it will...

You will soon have the reassurance of 4000+ fellow battle buddies :) I joined the Army right after HS knowing that the Army was going to my career and lifestyle. I look at civilian colleges as having too many unnecessary distractions that will more likely hinder my professional development in...

It is definitely a sentimental thing for me. That was my first duty station and I am incredibly proud to have served there and play a role in the healing of our wounded warriors. Having been there definitely keeps things in perspective while I am deployed. I am also excited to see how the...
