Good ideas for long waits?

Post by NeverSayDie »

Rangers,

between the amount of schooling needed for me to meet education standards, and the broken command structure (and "I'll do it later" attidude) at my recruiting station, not to mention the actual DEP time for an OP40... I got a long wait ahead of me.

I broke off ties with the majority of people I used to hang out with becuase I was involved with a bad crowd.
working out all week and drinking with the same four or five people every weekend has gotten very old.

I'm already bored in ways I never knew I could be. I wanna do something EXCITING that:

a. can be done on a low budget
b. wont get me arrested.
c. will get a good luagh or adreniline rush

I figured since the army has pretty much invented "hurry-up-and-wait", y'all would have some "creative" memories of how you beet the boredom, that could apply here.

any suggestions?

Bravo57 has the right idea - but lets make it how many laps you can do around the track before you throw up.
