    Am I the only USMC vet who's lower lid on one eye is switching spasticly like the squirrel from Ice Age at the OP's term "EX Marine"?

    Really, nobody is calling him on this???

    Once a Marine, always a Marine! ;) I agree w/ you girl.

    Yeah, I hit reply without reading all of the replies! It JUMPED off the screen at me. :)

    I do apologize, But I was a grunt 0331 machinegunner. Its hard to say Prior service, and I certainly do not believe In calling myself a marine still. I earned that title but a new generation has as well. I say this as far a being a grunt, Ill leave the legacy to the new age devil dogs. No need to take the flame. Pogs just dont get it like the grunts lol jk jk

    Former Marine suits just fine Teufel Fetus ;) The only people who should feel antsy about referring to themselves as such either got a DD, BCD or OTH. You'll seriously raise red flags and skepticism about your service by using the term "ex Marine" ANYWHERE you go, online included (but you should've already known that, shouldn't you? The freaking former poolee knew). You can't hate on a female for being a POG though, all kidding aside even, that's just silly. Graduating top 5% in MCT, M16 & M9 Sharpshooter, being a MCIWS, and marrying an 1833/8563 IT/former CCI & MCMAP Black Belt/sexist Hollywood Marine so we can breed the next generation is the closest I can get ;) I've heard every POG-insult in the book, lol. There are different types of front lines. Try being the only female in an all-male correctional facility and registering sex-offenders; not easy. Would've loved to have your job though if they'd have let me ;) Had the scores to do anything I wanted, except what was closed off to females.

    One age-waivered enlistment does not a PT-god make (have you even run a PT table?). Though it is an excellent start. I think you left out 8-count bodybuilders ;)

    thanks everyone for your service and advice!

    My pet peeve is watching chicks walk around work at lunch, talking and barely sweating, it just seems like a waste of time. I run the stairs till I can't breathe and then walk uphill backwards till I can't then run the stairs then walk until I catch my breath and do it agian. Same on weight days but add dips/pushups/and calf raises, lowering stance on push ups and dips so I use more weight each time and then run the stairs again and then do them sideways and back up the hill backwards. I'm dripping when I'm done and then 2 at a time up the stairs back to work and eat my lunch all in under an hr. On weight days I add weights in the morning.

    This all started from swimming as hard as I could till I though i was going to puke and then back stroking till I could breathe again and going hard again and repeating for an hr. Dropped 20 lbs in about 2-3 months that way. Then couldn't go swimming and had to find another way. I think it's finally warm enough so hitting the pool again, oh and if you have natural water to swim in or a large rec center pool it's even tougher because of the current. Resistance and cardio and no sweat! (none that you'll notice anyway ;-P )

    I just joined the site...I travel a LOT for work and need something that needs nothing but me and my sneakers. This will surely do the trick...but can you record the voice of a drill sargeant yelling at me so I won't give up too early?! :-) Thanks!

    This is so true!

    Also, most effective weight loss videos that people can take part in require little to NO equipment! Nothing fancy -- just movement!
