The vast majority make it - around 97% last I checked. The few that don't have medical or mental problems...or just were too weak in the spine. Those who don't make it weren't able to withstand the physical or mental stress, and broke down in some way. Some were not able to pass certain...

No, that's not true. The reason people suddenly don't have the urge is that they are in a strange, threatening environment where they are constantly busy, watched, and tired. It's hard for some people to imagine anything taking priority over their crotch-brain, but it happens! (This and the...

Strategy goes out the window the moment you make contact with the enemy. Pugil sticks is no different. You can't go in with a secret move, no special power move, etc. That is video game crap. What you CAN do is go into the fight with cold blooded, measured aggression. Pay attention to the...

Civilians focus on avoiding things they fear. We focus on getting PAST those fears. Tell your friend that if he isn't willing to tackle this tiny little fear, he needs to find a different line of work. This is so trivially small that he'll laugh at himself in a few years if he decides to get...

I'm pretty sure Army guys go to the cosmetics counter and pick up a shade of blue to match the rest of their outfit. Periwinkle, perhaps? Cotton Sky? :-D (Srsly, though, they use the same ol' paint.)

Great attitude, and respectable PT numbers. Don't let anyone tell you they are good enough: 'standards' are for people who think minimums matter. Keep your mind focused on excellence...not 'passing.' You would be well served to switch up your workout a bit..sounds like you have reached a...

You really need to do more research if these are your concerns. Every American schoolboy has a hard on for SOF from video games and movies. Meanwhile, the reality of is obscure, even to most active duty servicemen. How can you say that you want to be SOF unless you know what they do well...

Why are you asking this on Y!A, when you could just call a recruiter...which you'll have to do soon, anyway? I had PRK. My neighbor had PRK. My friend across the street had it too. One had it during active duty. One had it before, and didn't tell it on his med Hx. One told about it. All...

Listen to Lava Dog. He's right on the money, as usual. Let me add this: don't think about rank. The Corps is about fighting and winning our country's battles. How does a stripe on the uniform and a few extra bucks help that? It doesn't. It isn't about your personal glory or benefits: it's...

Never cheated on my wife. Never come close: hell, I was propositioned in a bar not two hours ago by a drunk girl on her 21st birthday. But never, ever, ever would I compromise my honor, or break my commitment to her. My buddies who ran surveillance on her while I'm gone confirm that she was...

That's like asking 'What the most advanced tool at Home Depot?" That kinda depends on a lot of stuff, dude. Narrow down the question to something answerable, maybe?
