When I was an Infantry Battalion Commander, I was challenged by my Brigade Commander to a push up and sit up contest, with the winner getting a Diet Coke.

Never do this. He cheated. No one will challenge his push ups or sit ups, and most were not done to standard. Next step was to go to the range and duel with pistols. This contest was more fair, and I smoked him. The next step was to go to the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin and take my soldiers and his tactical plans against the NTC OPFOR. We won. He was a Great American and a pure Patriot, but no tactical genius and no born leader.

Grassley was adamant the Identity of the Deep State “Whistlerblower” be protected at all costs, too.

He’s an Idiot.

Battalion Commander push-ups are never to standard. Weak at best. Just unlocking your elbows doesn’t count.

Hand grenades and pushups they say?

Also, see #38.

Guys gotta have fun!

My career Navy father could do ONE LEG DEEP KNEE BENDS until his hip went out at 90.
I would bet any takers and split the winnings with the Oldman.
