Luckily, combat is much less physically demanding these days..
Wonder why they came up with any standards at all? After all, how physically demanding was Tarawa or Hue City or Fallujah?

:) I got pissed at first, always over react until I re-read it a couple of times and see the /s, and now I have a blurry monitor. Typical female.

We lost another soldier in Kandahar, from DOD:

Staff Sgt. Alex A. Viola, 29, of Keller, Texas, died Nov. 17, in Kandahar, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when his unit was attacked with an improvised explosive device while on dismounted patrol.

He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.
