I'm not sure I should count this due to poor technique. I hurt my finger last week. It's mostly healed, but I split it open again during my heavy lift (I've been staying at a maximum of 365lbs all week).
I talked to my boxing coach this morning too. Jack is 78 years old, a retired Boston cop, and former trainer for the Army. He's been in boxing most of his life (so far). He's the real deal (there are lots of fakers in the martial arts).
A tall, handsome Navy Officer two years from retirement was running on the treadmill beside the weight area, eavesdropping on our conversation, when by mischievous silent agreement Jack and I decided to let him get an earful.
"How's the job going?" asked Jack innocently.
"Typical Navy stuff. Did I tell you they put a noose in my locker? Ironically they used the safety rope to do it" (I had already mentioned this incident to Jack).
"That's illegal", announced Jack. The officer pounded grimly away, all ears, as he pretended to ignore us.
"Yeah, but nobody is accountable. The Navy will just investigate themselves and find I'm the bad guy."
"If they try to put that thing around your neck you'll mop the floor with them," Jack observed. Jack has compared me to Rocky Marciano before, and he knew Rocky Marciano. He also knows Republicans can't fight. Then he added "You should put dead rats in their lockers." Jack is old school Boston.
"I don't want to sink to their level", I shrugged.
The Navy Officer had heard enough. He called Juliet over and complained the treadmill was malfunctioning, then made a hasty retreat. Juliet checked over the treadmill and found nothing wrong.
Most US military officers are Middle Class, and Middle Class Americans too often avoid conflict at any cost, even to the point of cowardice. Also, today's military runs too much, which is why they're mostly weaklings."If the soldiers are strong and the officers are weak there will be insubordination."
