What got my goat this year was seeing Santa in a WalMart in bloody September when I was shopping for hurricane supplies! September!!!
I strongly object to that.

Christmas should be (and for most, usually is) a positive time, regardless of your faith. For me, the faith part- the birth of Christ- is ...

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now, but haven't come up with a pattern or anything yet, that i'd really want on my body my whole life. We'll see, i'm keeping my eyes open.

Maybe right before I go on POC I'll get the globe and laurels on my chest and the motto up and down my ...

ok i see what you mean.

Well without intending to sound smug, I think a first class physics degree should put me in the above-average barrell academically speaking. I'm reasonably confident of my leadership and communication ability too. I think it will boil down to whether or not I'm hard enough ...

Yep, i'm in Durham, NC until December 18th. Been here for a year as part of my degree.

Fervanova, what do you mean? are you saying 3 years A-levels wasn't long enough for you to get fit enough? i don't understand what you meant.

Some bad news via email this morning. Seems like I won't be back from the UK in time to get the paperwork in by December 31st. So that means I'll be shooting for september 05 entry, which means another year of work in which my heart isn't in. Of course, it does mean an extra year for training ...

Yeah, it's just a matter of conditioning the right muscles. Get yourself a pullup bar to put in a doorway in your house, and every time you go past it, do as many pullups as you can. I found that to help a lot.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping wholley. I've got enough things going against me at the moment as it is, so I just hope this isn't another one. Recovering from bad shin-splints, having glasses, and bad upper-body-strength genes are enough to contend with.

I'm getting there though.

residency

Can anyone give me an idea on how big a problem an international upbringing may pose? The liason officer I spoke to in April said it isn't usually a problem, as long as the countries you've lived in recently are easily "check-up-able". All the literature, though, seems to indicate it's more of a big ...

Hey, voodoo. What kind of underwear is best for the PRMC? I like silk leopard skin print personally, but I wonder if that would start to chafe with all the running? I'm thinking about investing in some thermal pants with water tubes and everything... what do you reckon?
