Kicked ass on the board and got selected! Contracting and swearing in tomorrow! Hot damn, I'm on cloud nine. Time to kick back with a cold one.

And thank you all for the help and support. You know who you are. It means a lot. *cliche*

Not as subtle as theirs, but I felt this meme was interesting enough to do ( Read more... )

So today was the retake of the PFT. Again, following the PF Chart for my age group (22-26), officers need a minimum of 60 (out of 100) on each event. Of course, while I met the minimum, I want to strive for 90-100 in each. I think it might be a long road ahead. Damn not being athletically gifted.

So I can't go to the board on the 7th since I choked on the PFT today with my recruiter. Going to have to try again on the 9th and go to the board on the 21st. At least I can tell I improved on push-ups and running. As for the sit-ups, well, I definitely choked there. Abdominal muscles are my most loathed group.

Until I learned I would have to call cadence occasionally during OCS, I never realized calling cadence could be funny as hell fun (and most importantly, motivating). Heh, makes me want to reconsider enlisting as an NCO just so I can spout out the vulgar cadences during PT for shits and giggles. (Pulling off Bill Murray's character in Stripes, hah ( Read more... )

If you ask me, those energy shot products are overrated to no end. I recently tried the 5 Hour Energy and Rockstar products. Both taste pretty rancid; think of a bad cough medicine (Even Dimetapp tastes better). The energy boost from both products isn't bad, however. For caffeine content, the former doesn't specify how much it has (if I recall ( Read more... )

So, in lieu of waiting for Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty to be released (which, perhaps, will get me back into gaming full swing), I decided to replay the original and Brood WarTen years ago, when I wasn't on QuakeWorld Team Fortress or the HL port (TFC), there was my casual battle.net gameplay. Man, did I dislike Zerg for many reasons. For one ( Read more... )
