ArmySoldier1’s BodyBlog

   Well, I am glad to be back at my FOB! I went to another FOB and we "got the business" everyday! I have decided that I have had enough of this experience and I am ready to go home. Alas, it is not so…still have a while to go (insert sad whinning face here). Me and my guys (actually only one other soldier) go outside the wire all the time. My job is to go to all of these FOBs and COPs and make sure that they are doing the things required in order keep the soldiers out there from getting sick. It is a thankless job (as most tend to be…unless something goes wrong) but I sleep well at night knowing that I am doing everything I can to keep the Soldiers healthy so they can focus on the mission at hand and go home to thier families. I am not patty myself on my back, see all of our jobs (as thankless as they may seem at times) are each doing our part in order to keep from losing any of our brothers and sisters.

   Okay, enough Army stuff…let me talk about fitness. I am in such a good place now, and it is all because I am able to "release" things by working out. I owe my sanity (or insanity maybe) to working out. I am still doing my split workout because it allows me to go to the gym twice a day. I thought about writing my workout here, but it really doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense to me. Maybe I am wrong, but whatever. I see small changes in me. I certainly don’t think that I am big or ripped, but like I said, I am seeing small changes.

   Let me take a moment to thank all of the members (and former members) of the United States Military for doing what less than 1% of the population does. I would like to thank you all for serving this great country. I sometimes wish that the everyday citizen knew what we did so we all can walk around and complain about how crapping things are in the United States. Trust me when I tell you that if you think you think you have it bad, you should come over here and see how the Afghans live. Our liberal media does not tell you all about the great things that we do over here everyday…because that doesn’t make good news. Instead, they will tell you about all of the "horrible" things that we do to "unarmed civilians". I will not even get into that topic. Anyway, I digress. I also want to thank all of you civilians who support us everyday. It really does mean a lot to us over here. Okay, I ranted enough…I need to go check my laundry.

 Until later…Jay
