Hey there... Sorry I've been away. Things have been getting crazy with us getting ready to leave. You're looking good! Keep up the good work.

Hey thanks for checking up on me. I'm still here. Been pretty crazy busy. I'm the UMO for the unit so I'm doing a lot to get us moved out of here (5 Oct, baby) plus I'm having to do my regular job. Still hitting the weights though.

Hey Morgan... just wanted to check in with you and see how everything's going. I know that you're getting excited with the wedding coming up.

Hmm... I don't know what SMP stands for, but I know that if I did ROTC i would automatically start getting paid as an E6 during my weekend drills... which isn't that much money... But that still means I'd be in an M-Day (weekend drilling) status... and as of right now M-Day soldiers don't get medical coverage unless something happens while they are at drill...

Well... let's see here... as a 2LT you'd be looking at almost an immediate deployment... And probably in either Afghanistan or the Deadly Triangle... And I don't know if you meant like a civilian contractor, but in the right job you can make a shitload of money... more than a 2LT with hazard duty pay makes...

Hey... thanks for checking up on me... Things have gotten crazy busy here. We're under the 60 day mark so a lot of stuff has to be done to get ready to leave. I'm also going on a four day pass to Qatar too. So that'll be fun. When do you go in front of the board? I'm gonna be doing OCS when I get home as well. It's either that or ROTC since I'm only a junior by credit hours. I just need to find out if the military will cover me under their insurance if I'm an ROTC cadet.

Good luck with your goals. You're fantastic the way you are so it'll be great to see where you go.

Great profile pic. Shows an awesome tranformation. More food for the motivation machine!

Yeah... I do like the BSN supplement stack. I've had better results with other creatines so I might be trying something else besides the Nitrix. I've had buddies that have had really good results with Creakic so that might be what I try next, but I think I'll wait until I go home in October to try something else. It'll give me a chance to finish my Nitrix and do a "decompression" period from my supps before I start another round.

Thanks for the add. This is something that most people stress on here. Try not to focus on your weight. Try more to focus on the composition of your body. Muscle weighs more than fatty tissue. Muscles also burns fat. So increasing the amount of muscle in your body will add more pounds to your frame, but it will also cause your resting metabolic rate to go up. This basically makes your body a fat-burning machine even when it's resting.

That's when we're out of here too. Early October. Hopefully BBQing on the back porch by Oct. 15th. You've made some incredible progress and you're looking very toned. Kudos!

Jul 28, 2007 1:49am

You're looking really good and showing lots of progress. When you set to redeploy?

Jul 28, 2007 12:12am

No... No extension for us. We're national guard so that mandatory 15 month thing didn't hit us. The national guard brigade that got extended here just left a few weeks ago.

Jul 27, 2007 10:11pm

I think that you've got a fantastic body with what you've got right now. There's nothing wrong with a little toning though and I know that the wedding day is as big deal to you women. Good luck to ya.

Living the dream down in Tallil. I'm with the finance unit down here. Redeploying in early October. Made it up to Anaconda one time since I've been here... I liked it up there.

Glad to see someone on here from Texas. Just another thing that reminds me of home. Good luck with your goals. It sounds like you are well on your way.

Jul 27, 2007 1:38am

I'm doing a little better. The swelling's down a little bit, but not much. Just trying to suffer through it. I was sorry to hear about your great aunt.

Jul 26, 2007 2:44am

How's your impromptu "lent" going?

Jul 24, 2007 1:16pm

Not too much... picked up a nasty staph infection that has had me on my ass all day today. Actually, it's the vicodin that has me on my ass. What are you up to?

Jul 24, 2007 1:08pm

Active duty isn't all that bad. It depends on what unit you get assigned to and how long your enlistment is. If it's only two years then I say go for it. Get your deployments done and out of the way. I'm ready to go home and get back to civilian life though. What's your MOS? What happens if you don't go active duty? Do they pull you back into the NG?
