  1. My suggestion is that unless he is morbidly obese, he's not going to have a problem losing the weight at basic training. Also, have him start doing PT before he gets there, it will make his life a lot better. There are height/weight requirements. However, at basic training and Advanced Individual Training those standards dont really apply. That is because the higher ups have realized that we have big boys coming into the Army these days. If you have more questions or concerns, PM me. I have a lot of intimate knowledge of Basic Training.

  3. Are you sure. Nothing on the AP and CNN says he is doing well. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
  4. It wasnt just us, we were the instigators. We had the enitre bar joining with us. I guess the worst part was everytime that someone would walk through the door everyone would yell "HEYYYYYYY!!!". The entire bar joined in and even the bartender was ringing the bell. Then some family in the dining room had a little kid with them that started joining in the fun. That is where the complaint started. But, instead of the manager comping the one table he threw us out instead. Our bar tab was in the neighborhood af $350 when we left and we hadn't even sat down for dinner yet. The family that was complaining about us maybe spent $75 for night. After leaving, we went down to Boston's and spent over $1000 for dinner and more drinks. They lost out on a lot of money. We were there to celebrate the passing of a fellow skydiver. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
  5. FUCK BENNIGANS!! They suck. I hate Bennigans. Myself and 18 other skydivers got kicked out of Bennigans after 1 round at the bar. The reason that we got kicked out? Being too loud in a supposed 'Irish" establishment. Yeah, I know. It is supposed to be a fine dining restaraunt. WTF ever. The food sucks. The atmosphere sucks. I agree GOOD RIDDANCE!

  7. So many questions, so little time... Is there any oil in the water? Water in the oil? Have you ever used any of that flaked aluminum leak stopper in the radiator before? When it starts to overheat, if you turn on the heater does the temp drop right back down to normal range or continue to overheat? Did you mix the coolant that was put into the radiator or was it premixed? When you replaced the thermostat was it the temp as the one that was removed?

  8. The "Old Lady" isn't the most flattering of terms, I agree. The one that gets me is "The Wife". I have to go call "The Wife". Is there a collective wife? Have I missed my turn? How do I get in touch with "The Wife"? If you are going to minimilize the relationship at least say "my wife". Then people will know that you are talking about 'your wife'. Any of these descriptors are just a method to minimalize the relationship. When people are dating they don't refer to "the old ball and chain", "The girlfriend" or "the old lady". They refer to thier significant other as "my girlfriend" or even better "this is the one that I was telling you about".

    dc-3 's

    I sure hope that there isnt more than one incident of a DC-3 doing a snap roll. In that case it was lucky that it snapped to the left and let everyone out the door. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

    I don't know about a barrel roll, but I have seen video of a 720 degree snap roll on jump run. It was definitely impressive... The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
  11. Is that a '72 in the pic? My dream is a 69' Chevelle SS, convertable...painted chevy orange with black racing stripes. See the attached. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
  12. I can appreciate a little bit of a belly as long as we arent pushing past Otis Spunkmeyer muffin top. Once it gets to the point of obesity, I cant really get all that excited...if you know what I mean. I like to stay in shape, but I will never have a 6-pack. So, I wont be too offended if she doesnt either. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
  13. I ate MREs 3 meals a day for over a month on the ride into Iraq back in 2003. Then at least one a day for the rest of the year. After eating that many, I have developed a certain love for them. I will eat a Beef Stew MRE any time of the day or night. I love that one... The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.
  14. The same thing happened to me about a year ago. Stupid people not securing their loads on the freeway... It took forever to get the plastic off the driveshaft. It made one hell of a racket when it happened. It also bent the driveshaft a little bit. The thing had a constant vibration after that.

    half

    Thats a great plan. However, the half the are talking about is all your money, your property and your dignity. You get to keep whatever is left after that. Anyhow, let me know how it works...
