Is there really double standards in dating overseas?

Yeah my CRG job I was in, which all we did was build new bases and work as the central point of the base required us to run 3 miles in 27 minutes. Which was easy after you do it so many times.

First one anyone could just walk it in 14 minutes. I walked mile and half in about 11 and half. Before that they had a Bike test which was a complete joke.

I was going to make some USAF PT jokes, but you saved me the time. I read about the bike test on the scoring chart, and thought my eyes deceived me. 'BIKE TEST? REALLY? No stress on the legs to keep you upright while in motion? Sit on my ass and pedal away like a madman' GTFO lol

As for the services, it's usually recommended to anyone with the aptitude to join the air force, so I can't hate. It's probably safer and ur getting the same grade pay minus the incentives someone in the infantry would get, for example. And you're still serving in an honorable field, so you get the pride that comes with that.

LOL Nah Bike Test was more completed then that. If you peddled too fast, you would get an inconclusive test which meant you failed and gotta go on the fat boy program. They strap on a heart monitor and make you ride the bike. Worse is this test was conducted from 1994 to 2003. Until someone realize that riding a bike isnt gonna do you any good during wartime.

yeah thats true...a good PT program is designed for building and maintaining 'practical' muscle/endurance, while using exercises that translate into something you would be doing in your job. Kinda like a football program. You do the exercises that translate onto an on-field situation. You bench so you can use that same motion, to push a guy off you; you do vertical squats so that you can get that good driving power and strong back. My coach was adamant about that, and definitely frowned upon using selectable machines like the seated leg press (because you wont find yourself in a situation, where you're seated and just using legs).

But by that logic you won't really find yourself in a situation in football where you're on your back pushing up

Now see I can think of an activity where that move would be useful. ;)


P.S. You can't blame this one on me, this thread got derailed like 2 or 3 pages back.

i can only speak from my experience over here in australia. black men are highly sort after over here...it's really you can take your pick which is rather fortunate for black men, but rather unfortunate for some women. for some women it's the lure of the unknown, but for others like myself, it's down to who and what you are naturally attracted to. either way, i've seen black men being fought over and for...women parade themselves in the hopes that they may catch an eye...the power is definitely in the black mans hands.

it's all about repetition. the more you do it, the better you'll get at it. I remember running around campus and hitting the street all the time, and watching my cardio gradually increase. Running is underrated. Definitely gives you a feeling of accomplishment when you go from barely getting in a mile, to doing 2 miles non-stop. Almost as good as getting 225lbs for 15 times, when you remember the days when you couldn't get it up once.

no joke..the man is entitled to his opinions, but the city can be brutal. Cops get killed like regular people, school faculty get swarmed on and killed on trains (happened before, google it), neighbors get shot for playing their music too loud in cramped apartments (im not making that one up..i see why it happened tho :p), etc

not to mention bed-bug infestations....u cant beat that..just ask them New Yorkers

yeah i live alone, but once that sound level gets to a certain point, i turn into Johnny Big Balls. Dont matter how many squad you got in your apartment..black/white im banging on your shit until you open it. I had to do that with a couple below me. That shit was so loud my floor was vibrating. Ear plugs dont do much when that happens. I went to their unit and told them to turn that shit down, and they hit me with the dummy joint, talking about the sound wasnt coming from their apartment. Someone almost got one of those expandable batons to the head.

im serious..

usually happens with the new tenants that move in below me...

for those first few weeks, you get the insanely loud subwoofers, that make your floor vibrate, full bass and everything. you hear this shit regardless of WHICH room you are in. I wouldn't mind it so much if say, i heard your music in my living room, so I went into the bedroom to avoid it (once in a while). But when I hear the shit in ALL of my rooms, lol....i snap. If you hold that shit in, it'll drive you crazy. You should be able to get some peace of mind in your own home.

I just wish these apartments were made better...you know concrete floors, the absorbent materials in the walls, etc. Like I said before, this one couple tried the 52-fakeout and said the loud music I was hearing, wasn't coming from them. Then they ratted out the old geezer across the hall who screams during football games....as if an old man screaming once or twice an ENTIRE day, compares to consistent blaring of garbage music.
