the credits were funny too.

Thanks Greg700.

By the time you posted, I had already decided to try the T8s. I broke 'em in on short hikes -- 1 to 1-1/2 hrs -- three times a week, for a coupla weeks, on moderately hilly dirt roads in the old mining district E of my home. I made it a point to hike briskly with a 50-55 lb ruck: I ...

been awhile since i had MREs on a regular basis ... 20 yrs plus, i was in when they first came out. we were very suspicious at first and called them 'mister Es' [ie mysteries].

Never mind. Don't ask. Don't tell there Devil Nuts.

Never mind, indeed. I started to explain I heard it 'word of mouth' but even that would surely be misconstrued. One should always tell this joke in second person [how can you ...

Q - Why do rednecks do it doggie-style on Sundays?
A - So they can both watch NASCAR.

Q - Why does the Easter bunny hide eggs?
A - So nobody will find out he's been fucking chickens.

Q - How can you tell that your roommate is gay?
A - His cock tastes like shit.

A blonde has just been dumped by her boyfriend, so she goes to a pet store to find a companion. She's thinking in terms of puppies or kittens, but on entering the store, gets distracted by a row of fishbowls on a 'sale' counter. The sign reads, 'SEX FROGS - supplies limited.' The bowls are half full ...

My stepdad is from Michigan. He and his boyhood friends refer to ice-fishing as 'Swedish television.' :)

Another progress report ...

Aug 16 mini-SEAL PFT results: 76 pushups [2 min break], 82 situps [2 min break], 16 pullups. So I'm still making good progress on the pushups, up 8 -- always my weakest area, hence the one I've focused on -- but languishing a bit on the pullups (no improvement over last ...

Thanks Desert Sloth ...
Though [for now] I now live up in CO, I'm intimately familiar with the 'shitty terrain' you mentioned. So that's about the best recommendation you could give a pair of boots. Reckon I'll spring for both pair [Gore-tex and desert] next paycheck.
Fact is, I always seem to wind ...

GoardHeart, many thanks. As you suggested, I checked Ranger Joe's online catalogue and both varieties are available. But I didn't find the Gore-tex model on the Danner website ... wonder if they've stopped making it?

I'm eyeing Danner TFX desert boots [in addition to the Garmonts I posted a query about a few days back]. One of you -- Desert Sloth I think -- mentioned in a previous post that his unit had switched over from Acadias to the TFXs because the TFXs are lighter and more durable.
But that's about all I ...

Lately I have seen a couple of apparently new offerings, T-8 desert/jungle boots and T-6 Tactical Boots -- both made by Garmont in partnership with Extreme Outfitters -- advertised on a couple of tactical gear websites. I'd be most grateful for feedback from anybody who's worn either.
Garmont's an ...

Thanks again, the pleasure's mine.

As for your ailment , it likely has more what you should NOT do ... Where you been stickin' that thang, anyhow?

(in fact I can pop out about 15-16 pull-ups and 60 pushups)
47 years old! Cool! Could you teach some of our 18-25 year old DEPs to do that? Welcome to the site Marine and thanks for your prior service. Good luck with your future plans! 8)
