Missed the tape by 1/8". They take three measurements and average them. Also, they have yet to receive my college transcripts, so I couldn't have finalized my contract anyway. Going to reschedule for Thursday. I'm taking off of work for the next 3 days. Going to do nothing but PT all day long u...

Alright.. done. 12 pounds, 1.5 inches, 4 days. I have eaten hardly a thing since Lunch on Monday and I've been running 8+ miles/day. Just had a little granola last night because I was starting to feel like I was going to pass out when I stood up. Going to keep it up through Friday for extra measure....

Use the PX trip to buy extra shit for your wall locker display. It's a sneaky way to be more squared away than your "Drill Private" peers at OSUT. I figure the best advice is good advice followed, but I don't really know what this means. Wall locker display? I've done a search and not com...

Interesting story about a girl's condition where she feels absolutely no pain... It got me to thinking... would that be beneficial or not? For instance, if they could make a pill to duplicate the effects of this disorder for a period of time, would it be a good idea for a Soldier to take the pill? ...

Cut that calorie intake. If ya don't eat you can't gain. 3 weeks? Go hungry for awhile. Ranger Bell, if 0 cal intake is what I need to do, it's what I'll do. The only reason I haven't tried that is that I read that <800 cal intake will put your metabolism into "starvation mode" and it wil...

Spartan wrote:Good point - do you have a 'Ranger Recruiter' named Plavney as your recruiter?

Haven't met him yet Ranger Spartan, but I just put a call in to my recruiter to find out what his name is (left a message). I hope it's not... if it is, do I have anything to be concerned about?

In order to tape in at MEPS, I have to lose about another 1.5" around the gut. I've come a long way, but I'm still a fat ass and still have a long way to go before I'm RIP-ready. That first milestone, MEPS, however, is within my grasp and I want to get it done before Thanksgiving. So, I'm solic...

Sinus relief that works!

I'm really not sure where to post this, so I apologize if this is the wrong spot. I've been trying to find some contact information for a Jewish chaplain in Ft. Benning, but I haven't found a good resource with that information. I have some basic questions regarding some religious matters and to wha...

BTDT - what we all want to be: Been There Done That

I don't think he was banned because of this post, but because he was talking smack to Rangers (actual BTDT's) in some other posts and not showing the proper respect.

Because he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly, widower father died, Charles decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. Going to a singles' bar, he spotted a woman whose beauty took his breath away. "I'm just an ordinary man," he said, walking up to her, "but in just a wee...

Slots for schools and promotions will be affected by how much time you have left in the service. Thanks for the advice Ranger Bell. I don't think I will make it a permanent career as I think that would be asking too much of my wife and family, however, I do want to accomplish as much as possible du...

I've been discussing the length of service with my recruiter and also taking into account the admonitions that I have seen on this board that if I desire anything beyond being a private that I need to go at least 4 years. However, I'm wondering about how re-enlistment might work, especially for one ...

Congrats!

BPH, I had come to believe that the Option 40 contract/reservation could only be obtained at MEPS, but you seem to indicate that you got it before you got to MEPS, from your Recruiter??

Windows Media Player doesn't have a DVD Decoder.. do you have any other software installed? I'd say the easiest way for now would be to download the InterVideo player.. you can get the trial version and it'll work for a while, but it's got a pretty cool capture facility... http://www.intervideo.com/...
