My husband went to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina for a few months. He came back just in time for Wilma to tear our lives apart. With him he brought MRE's. He was raised an army brat and was amazed at the 'quality' of the new MRE's.
A few days into our 3 weeks without electricity, we had an MRE party for my kids and their friends (late teens, early 20s)
We had a great time and some of them where actually tasty (was gonna say good, but that would be stretching the truth too far:laugh: )
The point is we had a great time and the condiments have come in handy over the years!
hahaha, you civilians crack me up. You mean you didn't receive those MRE's and throw them back at the Natl Guardsmen and FEMA in disgust.

No, this is my 2nd.Tam, this isn't your 1st right?
Just be extra careful getting off the elliptical. When you start getting a little uncoordinated there at the end, it's a killer step down. And tripping in kinda scary.
:flowerforyou:
I will be 17 weeks on Friday. I am sure my belly will start some rapid growth soon and I will be more careful being lopsided! :laugh:0 -
I had a thing I wanted to share in this post, even though I've only been exercising regularly (this time) for 3 weeks...
Saturday, I was absolutely dreading working out with my Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD, which is really intense...
but yesterday, I actually WANTED to do it. I woke up with the desire to do it. I could barely wait 30 minutes after I ate lol... and I also took a 1.4 mile walk later on during the day.
today, I want to do the DVD again! I'm shocked :noway:
I just hope this keeps up. If I can keep doing this, then it would be great. it makes me feel accomplished and proud of myself for actually wanting to exercise.
It's a great feeling and quite the surprise eh, when you realize you WANT to work out?
I remember feeling the same way. For me, in general, that feeling has continued but I still have days where all I want to do is stay in bed. I always feel fantastic after I work out though! It is definitely important to find activities you can really enjoy and don't be afraid to try new things and challenge yourself. I recently have started running, something I never thought I could do or enjoy, but so far I am loving it. It's not easy but it makes me feel very proud of myself to know I am doing something I (and probably everyone who knows me) never thought I would or could!
Keep up the great work!

I think for some reason people think eating an MRE is cool, to tell the truth I've never had an MRE. I have given them out for other guys to eat but I always had some reall foor to chow down on.
that being said we still do use Dehy eggs after we have been to sea a few weeks and then there is UHT milk :sick:0 -
when you got a cold. and its not the chesty cough, the fever, the sore troat, the stuffed nose, the empty box of kleenex, the sleepless nights that sucks...............
its that you cant work out for like 3 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -

In Trashcanistan of course you don't have real milk, just that boxed stuff. Unpasterized that never expires. That junk would survive a thermal-nuclear war. Drink that for a year (which is probably similiar to your UHT milk) come home and guzzle a 1/2 gallon of real milk. You can't find a toilet fast enough. My stomach felt like someone dropped an anvil on it. Actually, everytime I watch Aliens and watch the chest-bursters...I think about that same experience. Very unsettling, to say the least.
The only other foodie-experience to top that was getting into Kuwait at Camp Udairi (now Camp Buehring) back in 2003. They had the freezer full of ice cream bars. Vanilla. Chocolate. And oh right on, what do we have here? strawberry flavored? Its a red package with some weird haji-writing on it. Must be strawberry. Possibly Rasberry or Cherry? Big english letters "ROSE" flavor. You guessed it. Rose flavored ice cream pop. I don't know what Arab thought it was a genius idea to combine Potpourri with Ice Cream.
Its a no wonder these countries are at war. They can't even perfect a Strawberry Flavored Ice Cream bar. disgusting.0 -
I was telling my sister about this thread-we were laughing so hard... She's a weapons instructor/security forces and is currently finishing her degree for a position they've offered her. She told me to make sure and mention that I always give her a hard time about her most recent deployment.
She went to Kyrzykystan... Boy I hope I spelled that right! I say it's her "make believe" deployment... That no one in their right mind would name a country something as ridiculous as that, let alone spell it that way... Besides, she is Air Guard... And we were an Army family all the way! So deployments for her have to mean suntan lotion and hot showers.:sick:0 -
Oh, and my husband is the only person I know of who actually ate "foot bread" when he was in Afghanistan... He's got a stomach made of steel, I swear!!!0

Manas AFB (Man-*kitten*). We spent 5 days there redeploying back State-side. Nice place. Wing-Commander at the time was a real penis. We're a Reserve unit from Kansas, so you can only imagine the hell-storm we brought with us. Regardless, nice place. Beautiful base. The locals that run the shops on-post are FREAKING hella cool. It was just a bummer we couldn't go off post into town. I guess there was an alleged kidnap or rape by a female officer in the town. So they were on lock down while we came thru. Sucked.0 -
We've given her so much flak for going Air Guard, but after my husband got out of the Army, he missed the military structure, so he joined in, surprise-surprise, the AIR GUARD... Now they are in the same exact unit, and although he out-ranks her so far, after she gets her commission the party is OVER... Well, not like he's a butt-head to her anyway. We just love giving her a hard time.:laugh:0

I actually perfer the Reserves over Active Duty. Not like I've spent numerous years on Active, besides training and deployments. But I enjoy what I do, but I wouldn't want to do it every day of the week. I feel like I have a bit more control over my destiny as well. All of my deployments have been strictly volunteer basis so far. I get to pick whatever schools or training I want. Its rare anything I do in my career thats mandatory. Everyone operates more like "friends" basis then the average "rank structured" cohesiveness. I'd rather just go out and do my job, get it over with.....then follow all the unnecessary hoops the active-duty makes you jump thru. Air Guard is not a bad way to go, especially if your looking for specific job/career training, yet wanna stay in the civilian world.
Foot bread is awesome! I dont know what you guys are talking about. I loved the local cruisine there.
We were up in the Kwost province for a few months. The locals were on the FOB building up brick-n-mortor huts. They were always cooking up something yummy. I'd go over with some candy bars outta the MRE bags, sit down and hang out.0 -
Okay... We tell our kids not to eat anything from friends unless we give them permission. Main thought is: You don't know what they were doing with their hands before making THAT... I think that applies twice as much to foods made with people's FEET! You guys are craaaaazy!
And in an attempt to put this thread back to where it belonged before we hijacked it...:blushing:
You know when you're a fitness nut when you join a running club in Afghanistan... A place renouned for it's prevalance in LANDMINES...:noway: Person in question... My insane husband...0 -

you know your a fitness nut when you decide you'll be the Designated Driver because it's easier than trying to figure out how many calories are in mixed drinks (true story).
