Stepped on the scale at Whiting's gym today and it read 199.5. I think thats probably up about 10lbs since we rode to Frederick - Though I have been lifting heavier so I'd imagine that has something to do with it.

Caffeine. Pill or coffee form, it doesn't matter. Helps me get my 200lb, 5'9 frame across the finish line in about 19 minutes. Not too bad.

How did I not see this before?! I suppose its a bit late to come up with a witty response at this point. Anyway, I checked into MATSG-21 on Friday and everyone who doesn't have a grey was told they'd have to have it by the end of the fiscal year. If I recall correctly they're offering MCMAP...

I don't suppose any of you would know if any of those retailers sell Rodenbach by chance?

I came across one that was broken, on the deck. That was fun. I think my favorite part was coming up with every acronym possible. PICMDEEP, FOCDPIG, PDEEDR anyone?

A lot of my buddies were volunteered for that working party. So instead of the normal 2 weeks of range time at TBS, they had 4! HAHA! :icon_tong

Damnit. You won't hear me say this often, but I wish I had still been in VA for that!

Best advice I've ever heard.

I want to wish you all good luck before stepping out to LZ6 to meet the buses departing to the FBI Academy for grad rehearsal. I wouldn't trade places with you for anything. :p

At 6'1 you're fine. I have a buddy who is 6'5 and hes a bit nervous. We get down to Pensacola in a couple weeks so time will tell.

Agreed.

If we're all going to bitch, I just got word that I'll have 9 of 26 weeks as a billet holder! Oct 10 can't come soon enough. :icon_rage

Comcast provides broadband cable/internet for about $15/month/roommate.

I hope that I'm not overstepping any boundaries in this discussion, that was not my intention, nor did I mean any disrespect. I also concede that I don't have an informed view of what life in the Wing is like nor did I take into account the added "durability" that youth provides. I only...

Haha. I heard you guys have to refer to yourselves in third person and weren't allowed to have computers/tv/cell phones for the first few weeks. Any truth to that or was it just a case of the rumors multiplying in terms of severity? And day 1 of MOUT is basically demonstrations and learning...

Yes, yes you do. :D

That is unfortunate. Theres no reason that someone in the air wing shouldn't possess the same physical prowess that someone who is not in the air wing possesses. That attitude and reality is why I constantly receive crap from all the ground guys. Every Marine Officer should take responsibility...

Manned aerial target?!

I have heard through a reliable source that the original draft of the recent White Letter from the Commandant specifically outlawed the operation of motorcycles by all Marines. It was changed at the last minute to include all of the PPE, but my question is how likely is it that I am going to be...

Was just browsing some of the old threads trying to get any gouge on Convoy FEX which takes place tomorrow and thought you all should know that we do have an amphibious exercise - AMPHEX, in which the boat never leaves dock. Apparently the Co hops on buses and heads to Norfolk apparently...

HAHAHA. I'd say thats a bit harsh, but nonetheless, if you study it is not difficult to achieve a solid score.

The Corsair has always been my favorite WWII Warbird; that was a good read, thanks Mumbles.

Anywhere in Georgetown or Adams Morgan is good. The former is considerably more upscale than the latter, but you can have a good time in both areas. BPT spend $8-10 on a drink though, you're not in college anymore. As for Fredericksburg, I think the bar is called "On the Water," and its...

Oh, of that I am certain! I just thought it'd be interesting to hear how TBS used to be.

I believe I'd be game for that!

Wow. Mind if I ask what the 3-Day War was like? We step off for FEX III, the final field exercise save for Convoy and MOUT, on Monday. It'd be interesting to compare/contrast how times have changed/stayed the same.

Buy some. Then get reimbursed.

We had a female who was up to her neck in the creek; to be fair shes all of five foot nothing. And yes, those bastards are still trudging around the terrain of Centralia in fireteam and squad-sized elements doing their best to make the lives of 2LTs miserable.

Funny that you mention that. I just got back, approximately an hour ago, from my last landnav event - Final Night. :D

Overtaining sounds like your problem. What is your diet like? I'm assuming you're a female due to the 0 pull-ups; am I correct in that assumption? The only advice I have if you're going to keep up that level of activity is to increase calories, including protein, and get more sleep.

79 days.

A hotel.

I just returned from a deployment to Centralia and have the following information regarding your questions. 1. Sure, anything that you might need. 2. No idea, it can change. 3. Mike Co is small right now. When I checked in 02Jan08 it ended up being the largest company on deck with around...

Hell. Yes.

What is it that you're behind the wheel of?

I miss my C5. :( ... Until I hop on my ZX-6R! "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul." In all seriousness however, the new ZR-1 is going to be incredible. I'd love to have one.

You must be OCC-197/C Co. Half way done.

Thank you Mumbles, I believe we're on the same page. You must be joking.

In all honesty, TBS is pretty easy. The best thing you can do is learn to cope with being frustrated nearly all the time.

I almost bought this book two days ago to remind me not to drink the kool-aid here, perhaps I'll go back and pick it up.

I'd caution him to make sure this is done prior to reporting to TBS. There are a total of 2 competitive SNA slots in Charlie Co this year.

Nicely done. Stealing The Bones and secret Soviet missile subs tends to be serious business.

Michelle ain't what it used to be. A drop from 350 LTs to 40 ensures a much heavier workload, i.e., working parties every day vs. once every two weeks. And I hate you Tingle for being done.

I'm at TBS and I split a storage unit with 2 other guys. Its definitely more to keep the bikes out of the elements rather than any risk of theft.

Damnit, there goes another Saturday in which I'll be working. :icon_rage

Wow, I'm in a decidedly bad mood but I nearly spit my coffee all over my notebook after having read that. Well, I'm off to enjoy six hours of remedial landnav on a Saturday morning despite excelling at landnav events one, two, and three. Joy. :icon_rage

I just received "word" that while at TBS you are not allowed to attend trackdays/racing schools/etc... I was considering taking my '05 ZX-6R to Summit Point sometime in the next couple months but God forbid I get in trouble for doing so and have to repeat any of this trash. Anyone have any...

I spoke about this with a few buddies last weekend and I agree completely.

Regarding the B-1R, hasn't Dale Brown mentioned something about using a B-1 as an A-A platform in some of his novels? I don't really recall as they were pretty "out there," but I'm thinking he did.

I watched the first hour before I left and thought the same thing.
