And I'm done with Basic
Boom.
I rocked it. Honor grad and all that shit. Went from 170 lbs 162 lbs. All muscle loss. For the record, AF PT is bullshit. Can't wait to hit the kettlebells and some BJJ. Biloxi/Keesler AFB on Monday.
I think there is one of you fuckers in Mississippi that do GS and/or BJJ. Gonna have to get up with you if you are there, maybe do a comp or something.
Thanks for all the well wishes on this endeavor. I actually missed this cesspool.

Hey, congrats!
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Great job. Undoubtedly the strength of character you learned from dealing with the reprobates here made you better equipped to deal with the rigors of training.
Congrats!
Congrats!

Congratulations. Sorry about the muscle loss. Protein and Iron for the cure.

Excellent. So what's next? How may pairs of panty hose have you been issued?

Only two, but I had to roll and reroll/refold them so many times my fingers bled. It was hard but now you can call me an Airman. Hell, if I commission at some point I may go pilot. If that happens I will let you know so we can set up a camping trip and maybe fly Dumbo-style with them ears of yours.

So it turns out kettlebells ARE the magic answer to everything. Power to you, comrade.

John Winger: God, I'm worried about you.
Russell Ziskey: Come on! I'm in good shape, I'm walking tall, I'm looking good. First weekend in Europe.
John Winger: Yeah. We're spending it in an airplane hangar... guarding a truck!
Russell Ziskey: We've got each other.

For someone who's providing a blanket of freedom for me now in my senior years you're not very nice. You're supposed to protect and care for civilians.Dunn wrote:Shapecharge wrote:Excellent. So what's next? How may pairs of panty hose have you been issued?

Congrats. Seems like a lifetime ago I was leaving San Antonio saying the same thing, though this was before the internet. What are they training you to be and how long do you have to stay in Mississippi?
