Garmont T8 product review
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 h...

Ancient mysteries resolved
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.

Sex frogs
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...

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

PT update
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 m...

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 ...

Danner TFX boots
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'v...

T-6 and T-8 boots -- by Garmont / Extreme Outfitters
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 I...

This really works! [upper body PT progress report]
In late May, addressing a reply on my intro thread ... http://www.armyranger.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=34521&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 ... I mentioned that I was stuck at 60 pushups, 15 pullups and 74 situps. I had made good progress, up to a point, using a couple of workouts bastar...

pushups etc
(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) Thanks everybody for your warm welcomes ... not to mention y...
