Out of Pod Experience

Exercise: One of the things that westerners rarely get enough of. There are very many good recommendations on frequency of exercise, different intensities for different experience levels, and different types of exercises available. Not only that, but exercise is as easy as going outside to take a quick run around the block.

And yet, so few people do it.

So I ask, what is your favorite form of exercise that you like to get often?

I can start...

I switch my routines every day. One day I'll do aerobic (run or get on a bike) for 5 to 10 minutes, set to an intermediate pace. I then do a full body weightlifting routine which takes about 45 minutes to an hour, including core. The next day I will either run or bike for 30 minutes (this will probably increase as time goes on, I'm just starting out again since I got out of school).

This is why I did not join the military.

Not sure if this counts as an exercise routine, but I'll consider it next time I'm feeling brave

I am not a woman though. Already finished college also, so they would probably stick me somewhere else aside from any special forces groups if I did decide to join.

Alabama

WTF who would have a PKM in Alabama? Is there some sort of redneck rebellion going on down there that doesn't make the news?

What are the people like over there? What's the country like?

Sorry if I'm dragging the thread a bit off topic.

We have a saying... be polite, be professional, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

The people (for the most part) were really nice but you always expect them to shoot you the second you turn around. Also they have great USDA grade F goat meat

Found all the USMC rules :)

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. [Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.]

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. Ten years from now, no one will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative. [Most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.]

10. Use a weapon that works every time. [All skill is in vain when an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.]

11. Someday someone may kill you with your own weapon, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

12. Always cheat; always win. If you walk away, it was a fair fight. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

13. Always have a plan.
13.1 Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be in FRONT of your gun.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don't drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. [In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them].

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.




We had a guy drop a SAW off the side of a 7-ton, the whole platoon swan dived over the other other side

Miracle the SAW didn't go off

kind of getting back to the original topic, I bike everywhere. it works great for exercise, and sometimes I'm actually faster than people in cars. I managed to cover about 3km faster than cars because I was able to cut through some places where they would have had to wait at a light or something.
I walk sometimes, but because of various broken things in my back, I can't do much more than that without hurting myself more.
if you're going to the gym, the orbital machine is a good one for burning fat as it holds your momentum, and since it's designed to use your arms too, you get more of a full boy workout than with the stationary cycles. if you don't have much of a gut, the rowing machine is a pretty good one, but if you do have a gut, you might find your legs running into your gut and you have a really hard time keeping your breathing consistent.

We are talking about Alabama

I am mostly aerobic when I do actually go to a gym. Sometimes we do a little strength building excessive on the treadmill by making the runner carry a dvd player or tv, then we crank his speed up to 9 and then to build coordination he has to occasionally look over his shoulder while running. But really, I walk everywhere and I dance a lot.

Edit: I see CCP knocked the black right off of you!

24 year old teen you say?

I hear teenage pregnancies drop sharply at the age of 20
