    I'm trying to ease into lifting at the gym with a basic program. This is what I came up with: Tuesday: Dumbell bench Cable Rows Skull crushers Bicep curls Thursday: TRX stuff Saturday: Hammer curls Leg Press Lat pulldowns Dumbell chest flys Tricep extension Anything obviously out of whack...

    December/ Rolling Boards

    So does that mean we essentially need to choose a top two? My real preference would probably be Intel>Supply>NFO≥SWO, although I'm still debating it. It's sounding like Supply/SWO/NFO would be a best bet to get picked up based on what I've read, though?

    Quick Mechanics question

    edit: totally misread you I think they're parallel systems, so turning one clockwise is the equivalent of turning the other clockwise. At least that's how it works when I visualize it in my head.

    Motivational Statement MEGA Thread

    Pretty sure this should be a colon. Should be "a participant" and "an individual." The dashes are unnecessary. I've been gone a while so I don't want to say too much (ask yakboy), but I don't like this. Your point is probably fine. This is not a good way to express it...

    Personal Question About Personality Disorder Waiver

    I had some stuff from an overzealous elementary school teacher back in the day, and the MEPS doctors agreed that I was good to go. Long story short, I spent a year in BDCP and 7 weeks at OCS before getting NPQ'd and sent home. My DD214 apparently says that I was discharged because I was...

    Sorry to hear it, JSF. Sounds like you've got great support and a great attitude. I'm sure you'll bounce back and make the best of this. Good luck and God bless.

    He pretty much said that wasn't the case in his video. Agreed. This is a point the fringe groups calling for his head could stand to think on for a moment.

    Deployment video causing heat for Enterprise Skipper

    I don't care about the language. I can't wrap my head around how the XO could get two female sailors to reenact a scene from girls gone wild on camera without multiple bad idea alarms going off. On what level would it be acceptable for an XO to say, "Hey sailors, I want you head to the showers...

    Deployment video causing heat for Enterprise Skipper

    I get confused here, A4s. I agree with the first one. If you feel so damn strongly that something is wrong, take a stand. Maybe it'll end your career, but why keep serving in that environment? But are you saying people who don't agree with this environment should "vote with their feet" by just...

    Submit package prior to degree?

    Yeah. You'll probably need a form from your university saying if you take the right classes you'll graduate on X date. I got one from my uni; they were familiar with the process. Then, the uni will just send the degree transcript to your recruiter/processor once you graduate (although this is a...

    Submit package prior to degree?

    I believe civilians can apply for direct accession to OCS when they are within a year of graduation. I don't know if it is the same for fleet applicants, but I can't see why it wouldn't be.

    DADT repealed

    If you're worried about frat, somehow I doubt the solution would be to go from one gay sailor for every 15(???) straight sailors in berthing to a room FULL of sailors all theoretically lusting after one another. Unless you wanted to give every homosexual sailor his own private berthing. I could...

    Bull. Never in my life will I ever be able to touch my toes in the sit and reach. My physical therapist says maybe with another few months of therapy, which would equal 3-5 months of 1-3 hours/day of stretching. It's just genes. It's not a matter of f-ing willpower for some people.

    Tough to say. Probably all of that. Doc says tight hamstrings, which is an understatement, but I can't even sit with my legs extended. I'm already at a recline of almost 45 degrees. It's literally an ab exercise just to sit like that. So I move a decent amount just to be able to grab my shins...

    I've been worried about this since before I even enlisted. EVERY time I ask about it, I hear, "umm... idk. I've never heard of anyone failing that." It'll be interesting for our class (looks like we have the same OCS date), since I'm absolutely certain of failing. So I guess we'll get our...

    I'm 6'0, 165, so that's not it. I played through the shin splints this summer, which aggravated the hell out of them, but x-rays showed no permanent damage. I've been off them since mid-September, and I'm currently easing my way back into running. 2 laps walking, 2 jogging, 2 walking, 3 jogging...

    Not doing this =/= not doing anything Besides, if they want to ramp up security they could take an actual good idea that doesn't impose an absurd burden on fliers, of which I reckon there are a great many possibilities. Good, because that's a strategy well established by history to be...

    TSA or T&A ???

    There is a continuum between doing nothing about the threat and insane, over-the-top police state overcorrection. The line must be drawn somewhere, and for me body scanning or pat downs is about 50 miles over the sanity line. As for the profiling thing, racial profiling is going to be...
