What part of Texas was this, if you don't mind me asking?

You need to start conditioning your body now. Don't wait for Basic....it's such a cakewalk, you'll rarely break a sweat. What I did at Basic/AIT (OSUT in my case), was at the end of the day, I worked out in our weight room. I lifted every other day, but did situps, etc every night. I also talked one...

My wife , kids, and I were travelling around central Texas a couple weekends ago and stopped at a restaurant for lunch. We had a nice meal and when we went to the register to pay our waitress she said," You were in the military, weren't you?" I answered in the affirmative and inquired why ...

Tuna- The only guy in my company who stood out as an Arnold Schwartzeneggar (sp?) type, worked in the quartermaster supply. He never did any time on a rifle team. We had access to a very nice weight room in our battalion AO, but I only recall visiting it about ten times (I lived off post, too, thoug...
