Yeah, but I am 40 lbs less than I was 6 months ago and have started a mild form of PT again. Other 40 to go. I've lost 70lbs. Can almost make my two-mile run in 18:35 (I'm at 18:42). Now, if they'd allow three miles in 30 mins I'd be golden. :-)

Lets face it we are old war horses who hear the call and still can't believe we can't go.
That is what is so damn frustrating.

We are sending them to kiss ass and pass out money, then get blown up and/or shot in the back.
