...Get in shape...

Amen.

I retired from the military in 2009 and let my physical fitness slip.

This June, I got into an unavoidable physical brawl with a 23 year old "kid".

I quickly realized that my only recourse was to go hard and finish it very quickly. I put him down and he was literally swallowing his own teeth in 45 seconds.

If it had gone on much longer, I would have be tired out and beaten...maybe to death.

Went back to the gym that week.

Yeah, with my bad back, knee and shoulders (service related), staying in shape is hard to do. But it's gotta be done. Sooner or later, we might all have to throw the ruck on our backs and hump for miles. No substitute for PT.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
