Here is a good resource. Of course nothing beats seeing a doctor. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,5033,s6-78-79-0-6899,00.html These two seemed the closest: Of course, this isn't all that accurate. When I had my knee problems, I "diagnosed" myself as having Patellofemoral Pain...

Can you describe the pain better? Under the kneecap? Outside? Inside? Above? Is it shooting, is it tight? Does it hurt more going up or down stairs? How about if you are sitting in the same position for a long time, then move it? I had a similar thing happen a few months ago, one day I...

Hah, don't worry. I got super nervous before every PFT I ever took. Hell, I am nervous as hell about a PFT I am taking in a month when reporting to mecep prep. I have a solid 270+ as of right now (still improving it), and I am STILL paranoid I am gonna fail. My last formal school...

Don't know about loadmasters, but enlisted flight crew on helos: Schools: Bootcamp > MCT > Pensacola > HMT-30X (2 parts) SERE is supposed to be thrown in there somewhere. For example, as a 6174, Huey Aircrew member, you would go to HMT-303. First you would go to FREST or I think it is...

Yeah, the man show was awesome. Remember the man show Boy clips? Haha, that kid was tits. Actually, when I got this clip in email I had seen it before - but I couldn't remember where. Thanks for reminding me.

http://www.glumbert.com/media/bikinisniffer.html Might take a while to load. Thought this was pretty funny though.

hills and stairs are awesome for increasing your speed

What are you doing for your pullups? How many pullups do you do now? What are you doing for your run? What is your run time now? Something that helped me drop my run time from 20:30 to 19:30 was going to MSG school. We ran 4-6 milers at least once or twice a week, and the pace was...

Motivation For You!!! Hey motivator, turn that frown upside down: And finally: Hope that motivates you to go PT!! :D

When you do situps, breathe out at the top of each crunch, and try and keep your abdomen straight and your arms as low as you can for the least range of motion. Also, try to bounce off the deck a little so you get that added push. Once you get good at them, crunches are your easy money - I...

I was hoping someone would get the double joke there :D

Do you have boot bands? If so, put your boots on, and fold your trousers up in about 1 or 2 inch rolls until it is about 3 or 4 inches below the top lip of your boots (normally you would roll until it is 1 to 2 inches, but for a run, make sure you put a little more slack into it. Now wrap the...

Some old ones I heard a long time ago: Q: How do you know if there is a fighter pilot in the room? A: He'll tell you. - Q: What's the difference between God and a fighter pilot? A: God doesn't think he's a fighter pilot... - Q: What's the difference between a jet engine and a fighter...

Time to shine for the Marine Corps. Some of our Generals are in really key positions: Gen. Jones = SACEUR/COMUSEUCOM Gen. Cartwright = US Strategic Command Gen. Pace = CJCS

Yeah marineocs.com rules. The real hot topics are covered over there, like shaving, or what to do if you have sweaty palms on the o-course. Deep. Also it is awesome getting "lectured" about leadership by a college kid who believes that instead of doing actual work, Marines should sit...

The best way to get information on military.com is to go to the Marine Corps forum, go to the wannabee section and ask how you can get into recon.

The book "Band of Brothers" is awesome. Very fluid reading. It really supplemented (I say supplemented because I saw the series several times before the reading the book) the movie and explained in a lot more detail many things (obviously). For example, in the series, you might watch the...

I live near West Point and there is a huge fan base here. Man...next you'll tell me there are a lot of Red Sox fans in Boston... I didn't know they moved MNF to ESPN. That is pretty gay. Far be it from me to tell them how to run their business, but they are definitely going to take...

Should have saved them, when you hit the boat you will probably end up writing your name in big letters on the back of your shirts anyway... Then when you see some azzhole running around with your name on the back of his skivvy shirt you will know where all your clothes went. Never saw...

The Air Force PRT Consists of: Aerobic (1.5mile or bike): 50 points Body Composition: 30 points Pushups: 10 points Crunches: 10 points To max it you must: Run 1.5 miles in 9:36 or less Do the Bike w/ a VO2 greater than or equal to 54 Have less than a 32.5 inch waist Do 62 pushups...

I forgot the old quote: "Common Sense was an uncommon virtue."

Go to a country we are actively fighting against and aid and abet them = No problem. Freedom of Speech. Spit on said azzhat = Criminal charges. We should have a common sense clause in our legal system. It would supercede other laws on a case by case basis. For example: Beating the...

If you want the counter-point (ie: Someone who is neutral/positive about OIF) here is a great blog that has a large audience: http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com/

Then after the first rainy/snowy/miserable FEX, half those dudes start asking "What are my chances for Ground supply or Logistics" or "What percentage don't get infantry" or "Dude, this sucks" I found it amuzing. Haha. Sounds like MCT/SOI. First it's: "I can't wait until I can do the...

Police: Man Arrested For Spitting On Jane Fonda Fonda Declines To Press Charges KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Police said they arrested a man for spitting on two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night. Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity...

I would just wear a white cotton athletic sock under my black boot socks. I was going to comment on this earlier. I have always worn white ankle socks underneath my black boot socks - and never had a problem. But when I tell people that they freak out and act like my foot will succumb...

The F/A-22 can't stand up to the awesome might of this experimental next generation helicopter: It's able to go Mach1+ and carries Nuclear Weapons.

My computer just called me gay and laughed at me :( This isn't the first time that's happened either :( :(

So does this mean that you DON'T want to be a Marine more than an aviator? ie: You attempted to show the board something about yourself that isn't in fact true? Edit: Not trying to be derisive, just thought this statement seemed a little contradictory - and slightly humorous.

I don't see what the big deal is. A little harmless fun. Some locker room hijinx, that is all. Nothing more.

It's computed using a pretty simple formula:

I don't understand how liberty can NOT be a privilege. It is something that is granted by your chain of command. I mean, even a Lance Corporal can, to an extent, deny liberty to a Private (eg: "You aren't going out in to town until you field day your room.") For liberty to be a right, it...

I didn't say that you should keep the Marines or sailors under you any longer than is necessary, and liberty should always be granted when work and higher authority permit. I am simply saying that according to the Marine Corps Order on Leave and Liberty, Liberty is a privilege, not a right...

If there is no specified amount of time to be alloted for liberty, then liberty must be granted by an individual with the proper authority. Therefore, liberty cannot be a right, and must be a privilege.

Marine Corps Order P1050.3H governs regulations for Leave and Liberty: 4. Liberty. Liberty shall normally be granted outside of normal working hours to Marines not required to be physically present for work assignments or for the manning level required for operational readiness. Special...

So is 6 a general rule of thumb for picking up the good MOS's? Also, how does relative hotness affect? For example, could you have 4 super "hot babes" come instead of 6 "hot babes," or if you cannot find any "hot" babes, could 8 or 9 average babes suffice? Thanks, budd--er--BlueFalcon.

Meaning...a bunch of fat guys in ill-fitting, sloppy looking TSA uniforms running around the terminal with walkie-talkies and an angry look on their face?

Didn't read the article, but I hate the TSA. Nearly every flight I am on, I get pulled to the side for extra screening. Many people I know in the military say the same thing, so I am wondering if military personnel are somehow getting "hooked up," by the TSA... Back when I was reporting...

I'm jealous. I would love a chance to get some trigger time on it. Of course, the M60 and the SAW are light years better in terms of LMGs. I guess those old rifles are sort of like Samurai swords. Beautiful to look at, Amazing to hold, but time has made them impractical.

Yeah, we need some serious tort reform. I always found it amusing that John Edwards was "fighting for the little guy," after jacking up the "little guy's" health care expenses while amassing his own personal fortune making frivolous malpractice lawsuits. Wait, weren't we talking about...

Not sure if this is being supplied or what, since I have been away from the fleet for a few years. ZGX: Did you have the PASGT over there? http://www.gentexcorp.com/helmetsystems/usmc.htm This advanced helmet system, designed for the U.S. Marines Corps, provides superior performance to...

Touche!! :D

Got this from a thread on military.com Motto:

Yeah you are right, lol. Don't know why I was thinking they would call it the same thing. Edit: There are some minor differences though, like the tube extension for 2 more shells.

Hmmm...never seen it called a Benelli M4 before...It has always been an M1014 when we used it. I have used that shotgun, it is farking awesome. It can fire all 7 shells (one in chamber, 6 in tube) before the casing from the first shell hit's the deck. Hmm...it's called the M4 on...

Liberty is a privilege, not a right.

Thanks a lot man. Haven't been home in awhile, it was nice looking at the old neighborhood.

If you can't make a funny video about your crank and post it all over the internet, then what CAN you do?

We have "PT" 5 days a week. M-W-F is PT, Tu-Th is supposed to be Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP). The MCMAP days, as I recall from the fleet, were tougher than the regular PT days. Usually had to run the O-Course a few times and do a bunch of Boots and Utes sprints, fireman...
