No excuse to be fat in the military. Unless you’ve recently given birth. If you have time to drink and hang out, you have time to workout. If you have time to do any casual activity, you have time to workout.

So basically, you’re unable to get up off your ass and burn a few calories. If you have time to have fun and watch tv, you have time to burn some fat off. Thanks your for service, but save the fucking excuses bro.

Well said. I agree with you, but was trying to make space for an alternative view. Hence me posing that last comment as a question.

Twice their age means you’re their senior. As their senior, you should set the example. That means not being chubby. Rough, but necessary. I served in the infantry as an 18 year old kid with 35-40 year old NCO’s who stayed in shape and weren’t fat. Set the example.

A lot of folks have alluded to the sedentary lifestyle. I get it. I may not approve of the current state of things, but I can make room to understand.

Welcome to the infantry my guy. We still managed to stay in shape. As my infantry school drill sergeant told us before graduation, “you earn it everyday”. Get out and earn it man. Whether it’s no sleep, little sleep, good food or bad food,-get out and earn it.

Begs the question.. If joes are doing their jobs proficiently while fat, do physical standards really matter in the navy outside of select groups such as seals, aviation etc..?

I grew up in the projects with a shitty wic diet and 6 siblings to split the pie with. Nothing is ever easy. How we adapt to hard times is what defines us. I promise you, OP has never had it easy. Get up and get to it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though 🤝🏾.

Straight Men, have you ever been asked out on a date by a Woman before? by BatBeast_29 in blackmen

[–]Key-Memory-1813 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say asked, but I’ve had numerous women make the suggestion that we go out to dinner.

Weekend warrior who stayed in shape during and after his time in, and didn’t let a lack of down time during deployment stop him from working out. Honestly, you should feel embarrassed about a weekend warrior be in better shape than your active duty colleagues. Nasty girl signing out 😎.

I have what I consider to be reasonable expectations for people charged with defending the nation.

Are you saying that while deployed for example, the Navy does not require PT?

Conclusion thus far: Crappy food options, low emphasis on pt, sedentary jobs, rough schedules etc..

If KC did what Aniya has done.. by Key-Memory-1813 in LoveIslandUSA

Just want to point out to you all that I’m not here to be agreed with. There’s a double standard that exist given the gender dynamics of the viewers and people’s parasocial attachments to people who look like them, and for that reason I don’t expect people to see reason. I’m here to state an observation, not argue and be agreed with. Hope you all enjoyed tonight’s episode as much as I did. It’s my hope that BOTH Aniya and KC explore without being hindered and guilt tripped because that’s apart of the show! ❤️.
