Hawai'i is indeed the killer
i would have to agree with shane on this one, we do suck. i for one have barely worked out since i started my language training. however that ended last week and today i took the listening portion of version 5 test. in my defense, if i even have one, i feel that language training was benificial and i worked hard; we'll see the fruits of my hard work and hopefully it'll pay off. but more to follow on that. my current batallion has an exemption policy and i made it with a 300 on my last pt test. for the first time ever i stopped when i had reached the maximum in push-ups and sit-ups to save energy for the run. it payed off; i ran a 13:12 which is the fastest 2 mile i've run since leaving california. however, it's still a full minute over where i want to be. so i have something to work for. anyway, i'm making a resolution to post A LOT more often. so i'll see you around the bend.

Ok freaking awesome.
I'm trying to figure out just how hard I want to work at getting in shape while I'm in Iraq. I'd hate to go outside the wire while ridiculously sore from a weightlifting session and be a liability, but at the same time, I don't want to use the entire year as an excuse not to work hard. I'm sure I'll find a decent compromise.
i wouldn't worry too much about "getting into shape" while in iraq. go for sustaining where you are at. getting into shape will come automatically as long as you take care of yourself. i mean, of course, by keeping your head down and your eye down the sights of your weapon.
