For some, the infantry is hands down perfect for them, and they will stay in it for their whole careers. I know quite a few warrants who are infanteers through and through, and some how their bodies have somewhat defied the brutal impact of this trade. Some change trades at the beginning because...
Who doesn't love a good juicy burger charred on the BBQ? The trick to a good burger is having the right meat-to-bun ratio. I make my burgers about 4 inches in diameter and usually less than an inch thick so they are relatively flat. I'm not one for meatball burgers that are super thick in the...
At work last night I was told that my hair (I am female) was getting too long to wear it simply down. I am growing it out (and know that I can get a chit for permission) but it was always my understanding that females are allowed to have their hair short enough that it was shorter than the...
Oh shin splits... I have fond memories of track and field days where after my race I couldn't walk afterwards. :P Get a running sneaker that has a dual density sole. ASICS Gel Kayano's are awesome for this. A lot of the time, shin splints result from over-pronation and abnormal movement while...
Probably the best thing you can do besides cardio is to really work your quadriceps and hamstrings. They are the key muscles to propelling you up hills and they are the first muscles on people that give out when they're out of shape. Do lots of walking lunges, squats, phantom chair exercises and...

I hear ya! I'm in great shape for my size; I can run 6k no problem, push ups and sit ups are easy but the one thing that truly ERKS me is fireman's carries. I'm reserve infantry and last summer on my dp1 they expected me to fireman carry a guy who was well over 150 pounds when I'm 115! DUH I...
1.) Finding a deer carcus and having my 2IC put the skull on a stick, making it talk.
2.) Discovering not to ever EVER choose Omelette and Salsa IMP for breakfast.
3.) My MCpl telling a guy that he looks like he's been raped by a dragon.
4.) Having my instructor set off a paraflare which...
These are some really good points. My pedorist says the three best brands of running sneakers are Asics, Saucony and New Balance. With a good running shoe it should bend only where you would naturally bend your toes, you should be able to twist the shoe moderately (if it twists around easily...
