I'm on the dfac Schedule and we all eat together. I'd love to eat sooner and run him into the ground but I can't my squad leader told me no more snacks during the day till after the pt test which I didn't understand sense all I snacked on was jerky it's pure protein. I will run him into the ground though i droped 20lbs already once I get into my highschool and collage pace and health I'll be set. I used to swim for an hour every morning then gym in the afternoon and run 5miles 3 times a week. I was also 60lbs lighter but I can get there again just def not dropin 60 more pounds

Also what about running right after eating. My team leader loves to just take off soon as were done eating chow we get back change and head out. Iv always thought it was bad I cramp up and usually puke it up as well. Isn't your blood going to your stomach to digest food thus limiting vital oxygen to your muscles or vice versa taking it from digesting and going to your muscles giving u stomach issues.

Thanks guys I'm gonna start doing some weight training on my legs as well to strengthen ny muscles besides just biking and running like every day. It's been tough hitting the gym or track lately been busy with training and staff duty.

Im not interested in it just seeing what everyone else has heard. I wish we could have surpressors in NY but we adopted the AWB when it ran out so we still can't have alot of stuff. And definitly no silencers

That's funny he said that my first platoon Sgt said that to well like it our first time at the range. " d**n george you can't run for bleep but u sure can shoot well leave u behind to cover our bleep well we run away" iv qualified expert with every weapon system they have put in front of me m4, m16, m9, m249 saw, m240b, m2 .50 cal. The machine guns I was always expert gunner m4 and m16 expert usually 40/40 a few 38/40 39/40 have slid in there on crappy ranges. My boots are worn In iv had them for 4 years as well I have them on every day I can run decent In them with out issues but they too are falling apart slowly.

There are AR 15 platforms in it iv seen it in single shot handi rifles it's been out for a little while. I know I read at shot show like everyone had a rifle in the caliber

When your on the phone with some one and they are talking to you plus everyone else in te background. You never know who they are talking to you or some one there with them. I can't stand it. It's so frustrating

I'll have to try it out tomorrow and work on it

Every one talks about cutting stuff out I did that an that's when I got big. I'm only 25 from 6th grade till I was 21 I was 5'9 135lbs I ate everything in sight I could not gain weight to save my life but I was also very active I was playing semi pro and eventually pro paintball plus working. Started smoking at 16 then drank like a fish from 17 to 21 there was a time when I was let's see just befor my 20th birthday till the day I stoped drinking I drank a 30 a night of labatts blue plus shots or just bottles of vodka. I had a huge drinkin problem still ate everything I could. Threw all that I hit 140 maybe if I just ate and hadn't took a dump yet. I quit all that started eating healthy and shot to 220 when my wife got prego with our first. I usually hover around 210 give or take a few. Last week I weighted in at 197. I'm thinking I need to bring the bad habits back lol that or pick up the other thing that has lacked but this is a family site but most u know what slows down once that wedding night comes and goes lol.

Stride turn over iv read abou it but have a hard time increasing it I guess it would be do you have any tips to help with stride turn over. I'd like minimalist shoes I think cuz I love being bare foot I move better barefoot but them shoes are banned in the army

I would if I could but I can't maybe if I wasn't prepping to hit the ground in 6 weeks would be a diffrent story but iv taken it threw the chain of command even talked to the CSM(command Sargent major) today bout it and basically iv been told suck it up. And in all honesty it is getting better I did a 1 mile run today after doing squad movements flanking and what not ran a mile back in my combat boots and my knee was just fine. It's been slowly getting better and better.

What's everyones thoughts on this new round iv been seeing alot of talk about it what's your guys thoughts or experience if any

It is and in a way I'm glad because it's almost a sure bet I'm coming home in one piece. But the 11bravo in me is ticked and disappointed it's kinda like practicing your flipping and pitching gearing up for big bass battles to go fish for sunfish with a bobber lol. Good thing I didn't go buy all that cool looking gear though won't need it in Kuwait. They are talking bout doing some cool training though like air assault school and expert infantry badge if I can get 1 or both I'd be happy as hell. Plus things right next door to Kuwait are heating up but I HIGHLY doubt they will send a guard unit from upstate New York in. I hope it's all talk though that would be one nasty fight.

Being in a infantry unit as a infantryman for 4 years training for 4 years to go to Afghanistan to at the last minute be switched to the BSTB and sent to Kuwait instead thus throwing out the previous 4 years of combat training and all credit of being the best company in tha battalion the "tip of the spear" getting all the hooah missions and constant deployments in te past and goin above and beyond just went right out the window. Ya wanna see 130 irritated grumpy ticked off guys come look at my company.

My wife compairs BR to FB all the time and yes as they are both social networks i don't think they are even close to being on the same page. Most people on FB and by most I mean the younger generation are on there for 1 or 2 reasons they are usually looking for a hookup and as a popularity contest. Almost every one I know meets girls/guys on FB to hook up or party with. I have nieces and nephews that are constantly on there just looking for some random person to hook up with or info on party's at peoples houses they don't even know because there friends friend friend who threw a few clicks you stumbled across clicking on pretty faces. Plus not to mention I highly doubt if u look at your friends list you really truly are friends with 1000+ or even 250+ people. That number only got that high for reasons I stated above the " oh he's cute or oh she's hot" click and now were friends. Here on BR what we all shoot some bull an talk bout fishing educating eachother on new and old proven techniques were not on here cruising for babes other then fat pre spawners. That said I also can't stand hearing people say that d**n " it's Facebook official now" when regarding a person they are seeing my 21 year old niece said that bout her now fiancé just last year after "seeing" the guy for 6months but it didn't count because it wasn't Facebook official yet they didn't want people to see they were of the market it's retarded if you ask me

Yeah the new shoes will help for sure it will be bad if not worse at first from new shoe break in and using diffrent muscles but it will get better.

Wow that's horse dukie but yeah that would def get me going. How the heck is he allowed in society with 38 felonys that's just crazy he needs to be taken out back castrated so not to further pollute the earth with kids likely to follow a similar path or just beaten to death it should go back to old western days where u settled it at high noon with a 6 gun crap like that wouldent happen.

I'm with you I don't have a face book never have never will I had myspace back in highschool but that was 7 years ago haven't been logged on in maybe 6.5 lol. I hate all the face book crap it's taking over the world look at all the contests on here gotta be face book or contests on other sites everything is either Facebook or twitter. My saw gunner is obsessed with it every sec of down time he gets he's on Facebook. Then there's all these games centered around it like that dumb words with friends every one is always playing that game.

And I'll probably run 4 times befor I get new sneakers and it's not a option or choice pt every day and we run to the gym and back. My legs have yet to really have a day off like I do with my arms I like to alternate work outs but I'm being told to do cardio every day so my legs and knee don't get rest.

Yeah doctors out besides our medic and even then I'm hush hush I need this deployment and I can't get injured till day 26 lol it's day 14 anything befor then an I'm pretty much done for after that it's considered line of duty but I don't want to take it that far. It's really only bothers me running on that d**n track I can run all day in combat boots threw the woods with full gear and not have an issue I was even doing CLS training today carrying guys on my back and in litters plus they always pick the biggest dude for you to firemans carry on your back and me knee holds up then it's just the pounding on the track in my crapy sneakers.

Yeah I'm certain it's Burke it's been a long favorite of mine sense I seen the movie tears of the sun it's in the beginning of that movie. Im not sure if the first name is correct but the last is

Thanks yeah I know alot is mental game last week I was flying running with my squad leader did 2 miles rolling hills with him in 15min and today I did 2mi on track took 20:30 with the stop for revile. The track messes with my head but running the road and hills with the Sgt I was cruising and motivated because he was telling me to slow down and I'm used to being yelled at to speed up by him so hearing and seeing him a telephone pole back made me feel good and I was cruising on runners high. The track how ever is paved like a road it's so hard my shoes are a huge issue though they are 4 years old and falling apart half the tread is worn out or just missing plus the holes threw the heel where foam has fallen out. So with some new good sneakers I'm hoping this will help the knee some sense all the cushion is gone in these ones after bring threw basic and running at home plus using them for fishing/wading threw water so they have many many miles on them.

I just heard this as well she was a great performer

Well as some of you know from other posts of mine I'm at mob station getting ready for deployment. Iv been hitting the gym regularly doing some weight training and alot of cardio on the bikes, elipticals, climbers, and 30/60s on the track. Now my down fall is still running I can't run to save my life I have I think tendinitis in my right knee really bad as well te medic thinks. Iv been taking fish oil, aleive, and glucosamine to help combat this. My sneakers need to be replaced bad as well they are getting replaced Wednesday this should also help the impact on my knee. What are some pointers though to help increase my stride and form cuz I have the worst form I have high arches and get cramps in my toes and feet. Iv read to try to land mid foot i think it was and to keep your arms low and hands relaxed. Breathing I have a hard time as well getting a good rhythm down. Any help or tips would be great or exercises I can do that will help my run I do have some weight to loose as well that should help but also come with the running. My 2 mile today started strong for me but then I got Uhm screwed for lack of a better word when revile played abdbi had to stop mid run and salute after that I stiffened right up.

I'm over weight but not bad I don't think I think I fall under obese standards looking at numbers. 2 weeks ago I was at 210 today I was 197. I'm supposed to be at 165 I believe according to my height and age. I was on a fast track to being quite big but this deployment stoped it and iv changed alot of habits by force of this life style change. That's definitly a inspiring story fish chris had a post not to long ago about his story and weight loss
