Any one here ever read this book.  It is quite interesting and a good read that covers both well.

I recently purchased and read "Training for Warriors" by Martin Rooney

308 Pgs. of MMA and fighter functional fitness tips and workouts.  The forward is by Renzo Gracie

I enjoy the book due to the fact that it was written by Martin Rooney MHS, PT, CSCS, NASM.

He is not only a proven traininer of Warriors but he has the medical insight and training that I believe all good trainers should have.  In short, He knows his shit!

I highly recomend getting a copy for yourself and see what I mean.  I am in the process of revamping my Warrior Workout routine so that it incorporates all if not most of the training tips found in his book.

Politics & Religion / "Gun Town"
« on: April 21, 2007, 04:48:53 PM »
I found this worthy of everyones time...
25 yrs murder free...  "GUN TOWN USA"

Here's a taste - click the link below for the full story:

In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of "Wild West" showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.

Then its just the uncertainty of inactive reserve.

The latest news I have heard, is that they are currently doing an involuntary recall, at least for the Corpsmen.? The way they are selecting them;? they are going after the guys that have been inactive for at least one year, but still have at least one year left in inactive status before their contract is up.? Im not sure about the Marines but I would suspect it is the same.

Doesn't make much sense to me...? You end your enlisted active service, decompress a bit and start getting your life together (ie job, familly, etc.), then they throw a wrench back in the mix and reactivate you???? Militarty Logic - LOL?

Also we currently have NCS "National Call to Service" Corpsmen.? They sign 2 years active duty contracts.? After boot camp, "A" school (Hospital Corps School) then FMSS (Field Medical Service School) they get sent straight to division then service 15 months with division.? They go to combat then go onto inactive status thinking all is done....? ?Psyc!? Phone rings and now you are getting sent again.? Sad part is when the recruiter signs them up as NCS they dont get the full benefits.? No Mongomery GI Bill, etc.? Just wham bam thank you ma'am.

Anyone thinking of going NCS should really look into it long and hard before signing.? (IMHO) Better off just going for the whole package.

In addition I feel it is dangerous for the well being of the Marines we serve with.? Our NCS guys get sent straight to the line companies.? With only 15 months to spend with us, there is no reason to send them for additional training or put them in a lead position (ie Senior Line Co. Corpsman, Sick Call, Admin. Training or Supply) no time to get to go to OEMS (Operational Emergency Medical Skills training or EMT school)....? Doesn't really set anyone up for success IMHO (Marines or Sailors).? In the long run, I feel  we will all suffer from this program.

Well written and well to the point...? I was in Al Anbar province for 7 months in 2005,? as a Corpsman attached to MCD "Mine Clearing Detachment Quick Reaction Force" as well as spending countless hours attached to the Security Platoon and in the STP/BAS trying to help the wounded...? I have walked and lead many convoys around that area.? I remember one of our Iraqi troops that went home on liberty one weekend and did not return.? As the story goes, he went through a (VCP) vehicle check point and showed his ID.? He was shot on sight.? It was a false check point ran by insugents.? The Iraqi people are fighting for their freedom right along side of us and also making the ultimate sacrifices for hopes of a better future.? I have listened to many stories from the ING and ISF about their personal experiences with Saddam and it is far worse than that which is shared with the media.

I am not going to steal the thunder here but thanks for sharing and keeping it real.? I expect in time there will be a lot that comes out in the wash.? I know I have a lot that will never be discussed.....? And there are alot of videos that will never be shared for years to come.? All in due time.? What has hit the press is nothing compared to what is out there, in our troops personal collections.?

God Speed!

PS.
Not everywhere has porta Johns...  In Husaybah at camp Gannon we had good old fashoined burn barrels and your shower for months came by the way of poking holes in water bottles and rinsing off.  One day my Medical Officer was walking to go poop.  He forgot his wet wipes (Thank God), he went back to ge them.  As he was aproaching it for the second time it was blown up by a mortar round.  Talk about divine intervention... LOL
