Thanks Marines. That's what I thought when I heard some advice about taking your $hits at night and the foot locker thing. I didn't think you could get up at all.

Congratulations, sir.

Excellent movie. Thanks for the post.

That is the sickest bike I have ever seen. Ever.

Sgt, by "chitters" do you mean sharpshooter/marksman?

Is that supposed to help with pull-ups? This sounds like a tricep workout but maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

I am wondering how weapon qual's work. Is there opportunity to gain qualifications with anything besides an M-16 in boot camp (like the M-9) and after boot camp how often is there opportunity to gain...
