And again I say, AH HA!!!!! As part of my return to the states from Korea, I gained back much of what I'd left behind, and so much more......including weight. In Korea, thanks to the joys of the battle buddy system and paranoid plt sgts, there was many a time when your two options were stay on post and read or workout, or go off post and get blasted. I don't drink, so....... Although I met my personal workout goal there (to look good naked when I came home on midtour) I stopped, and procee...

Do you follow the 5 second rule? 30 if no one's looking? Ever eat in the field with the wind blowing dirt in your MRE? Do you quiver in fear that you'll get salmonella if you have a raw egg or trichinosis if your pork's a little pink in the middle? Where do you draw the line?

In all practica...
