Now Obese Getting back into the gym and moving again?

[CoachCabo]

How are things in Mexico these days?

Fantastic! If you don’t mind blazing heat, humidity and impending storm or hurricane about to hit. We got back just in time a week ago. I was in the LOTF doing shows. Won class at the Tanji Johnson Classic Pro/Am, the NPC Universe and came 3rd at the North American two weeks ago.
Fruitful year. Never in better shape my entire life.
We couldn’t wait to get back though, even if it meant being here the worst month.

Miss you at the other forum man. Not enough old guys around. I’m 61 next week!

Note sure who you "talk to" but no one has EVER said anything like that to me in regards to military service.


Uhhh you do know your on a Steroid Forum? Seek mental health.

I am a career US Navy guy who spent over 20 years in and around SpecWar/EOD.
I am quick to tell people I was NEVER a SEAL and would have never made it through the pipeline. I know these types very, very well and many are still dear friends who I stay in contact with. None of them really look the part anymore, although arguably, I sort of do.
Nothing this Danish assasin has said rings true in my ears. Except the parts where he sounds like a fatty making excuses.

I know the type. I was in the Navy for 4 years right after HS. Went to boot in great lakes, then A school in VA. My MOS was OS (operations specialist) so I worked in the CIC (combat information center) aboard ship. I was eventually stationed aboard the USS Gonzalez, a destroyer out of Norfolk.

Every time we would rotate back to shore after a cruise, there would always be these motherfuckers going straight to the NEX and purchasing SEAL or EOD emblems for their uniforms to try to impress the chicks. Sad ass shit.

Edit: @CoachCabo Hello from another Navy man, although a much more brief career. I was an OS3 when I hung em up.

Congratulations on your placings! As for the other forum, my time is more limited nowadays, and, since I do not compete anymore, my time spent on boards like this and the other one is less. I'll probably check in again, but to be honest the quality of posting and information here is better, so I tend to participate here more with what time I do have. Nothing against the other board, at all, but this board made me a better competitor - there are some damn good competitor logs here, including an IFBB pro who chronicled his journey from amateur to pro, and some really good amateurs. I wish I had discovered it earlier.

I've been on 75mg weekly of test for a long time now. Just started raising it when my doctor said I probably should - estradiol was merely a 7!!! joints were aching, lol.

Fucking OSs. Sitting up in air conditioned CIC, watching the cameras, waiting for the brow to be placed, whilst all of us snipes are dragging shore power cables and (me) shit hoses.
In some super hot and humid “exotic port”.
I know man…”choose your rate and choose…”.
I still loved my four years in the fleet. It was rough, but I learned so much from 20-24 years old.
I commissioned the USS Bunker Hill CG-52 and was on her ‘focsle last September for her decom 37 years later.

CIC on the Gonzo was so cold I could damn near see my breath when I exhaled some days. You would not have liked our brutal ass watch rotations when underway though. They ran us ragged to the point not even Navy coffee could keep me on my instruments on the tail end of a long streak.

Liberty calls in port though? That is when everyone REALLy hates OSs

On Wes-Pac, I was OSL for crash and smash with two birds in constant operation, which meant one of them returned every 1 1/2 hours or so AND I had a shop to run.
If I slept more than an hour at a time, I was fortunate. But I still trained in the gym I built under MT52.

So…waaa waaaa waaaa about your watch rotation.
Lol!
Underway is a bitch for everyone in one way or another.
At least you didn’t have a handful of unruly E-nothing deck apes to wrangle. Or out of control non-rate HT trouble seekers to deal with in AND out of port.

Oddly enough, I miss it all. I went from the fleet to EOD, the SBUs and other “ground” based units. Those were fun. Twenty-three more years worth.
Honestly, if not for HYT (which now doesn’t exist), I would have never gotten out.

I went to college (Navy College Fund) after I got out, which was sort of the entire point of enlisting in the first place. But I have to say there was many a time in those first couple of years back in the Civi world that considered just saying fuck this and making an effort to get back in. As much as said I hated so many aspects of it in the moment, and as much as I complained, there has really been nothing I have done in my life since which has even been remotely as fulfilling as being aboard ship.

Sailing a 2 billion dollar warship across the ocean, firing Tomahawks and then getting drunk and laid in some crazy ass ports? I won't bore you with my sea stories, but man were those some incredible times in my life in retrospect.
