kevlar

today we went on a two mile hike with our armor and our helmets. That armor we wear weighs at least 50 pounds. It is also very hot. We get to wear it again tomorrow. and go on another hike.

Well, that's standard military practice, regardless of the division, from what I hear.

Lots and lots and lots of walking, hiking, running, and other exercising, eh?

You've always had a strong metabolism, Brett, but has all this exercise made you feel in shape, or out of shape? Of course, no matter how athletic a person may be, I've heard that the armed services tends to push nearly everyone beyond what they have previously performed at.

Although if I recall correctly, you commented years ago when you first joined the armed services that boot camp was rather a breeze for you. Hopefully that stamina of yours has remained in place. :-)
