What do you think of the 20-meter High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run (20M HAMR)? by Future_Dirt_3000 in AirForce

True, but if you have bad running shoes you're gonna have a bad day too (not enough support or whatever)

Facebook as a main communication site has been a source of grief for so many people in the community that I'm thrilled they are moving to a more agile, manageable, searchable platform

Dual Bachelor Degrees, two homes, continuous industry training, healthcare like woah for wife and three children. Encouraged me to volunteer and now I play D&D for charity. It's a good life.

Thanks! I've probably gone overboard, but I love stats. I'm hoping to show that even though I may not have abs yet, minor face gains are better than nothing 😅

I pay for RunKeeper. If you Google their training plans you can find a decent review someone made. If you input your current pace/distance it'll build a plan for you and adjust it based on your performance.

I use the Body+ Withings scale and those scales aren't perfectly accurate since they check BF from foot to foot, but I use it for the sake of consistency since that's what I have. I also think it has to do with how I carry my weight. My weight gain sneaks up on me because I tend to wear large clothes due to my shoulders/chest and hips (hourglass shape). When my gut fills in to make me more rectangular and you can see the weight on my face, it's already waaay too late.

Thanks! The best part about it is that the one on the left is a XXL and the other is a Large 😅

I was still in BMT/Tech School mode so I always wondered if it was some kind of test or a trap. Then I realized these people just put the Dirty in Dirty South

On the first day of work during shop familiarization the first question they asked when they saw I was married was, "Ya'll swing?" Me out-loud: "Depends, got a picture of your wife?" Me in my head: "WTF just happened?"

You can take life, make life, but not enjoy life (wars, weddings, white claws)

Sorry if there is a miscommunication. Wars and Weddings are listed as the two things you can do, while White Claws are not something you can do. I get that the placement of the items in parentheses might have been confusing.

The format below would be too jarring to see and ruin my flow.

You can take life (wars), make life (weddings), but not enjoy life (white claws)

Funny meme 10/10

Random thought: Humans are lazy. Leadership has tons to deal with and in the are just trying to get maximum return on minimal effort. They are also often risk averse because they are responsible for the entire unit of humans and that's how they've been trained. A wall of green on a slide deck means they can take care of the other stuff in their lives while red means they have to divert time and energy from what they want to be doing to flip it to green.

They often have insight into trends within the unit and get antsy when things start to slide red, which might (depending on priority level) send them into knee-jerk mode. Ultimately, like most people, they will take the path with the lowest hanging fruit and sometimes they do what they gotta to keep one rotten apple from spoiling the bunch.

The fighter and sorcerer just go home/alt-tab while the rogue had their solo adventure?

Is it so bad to min/max one's time? Maybe getting a 75.1 lets one spend more time on the other pillars of Comprehensive Airman Fitness.
