What line of work are you looking for?

Eh, if I'm working out on my own I prefer to just do my own thing. I've had enough experience with highschool sports, personal training/nutrition (trainer not trainee), and Army PT that I can put together my own workout that kicks my ass more and is more effective than any structured workout program I've seen (including crap like P90X and Insanity). Its not that I can't stay self-motivated, its just easier to push myself that much harder when in a group where you just let your body go into robot mode and go through the motions while your mind drifts cause you don't need to think about "ok what do I want to do now."

Honestly, at this point I'll do just bout anything that pays. I just need something to put fuel in the truck and food on the table till I ship out in November. Ideally I'd like to find a ranch, horse boarder, something along those lines where I can be given a list of things that need done and then just get turned loose to do em, put in a good hard day's work from sun up to sun down. I wouldn't mind working in a shop again as its only temporary, I'm ASE certified, have diesel experience, lots of professional and outside of work experience with welding/fabrication/design with vehicles and random stuff. If it has an engine and/or wheels, I can fix it lol.
But really, if a place will train me in whatever they want me to do, I'll do it.

Well until I decide navy or marines I'm a night watchman at an old folks home[Rant2]. My company is always hiring if you guys ever hit rock bottom. Their anywhere in the state.

Do you know what you want to do yet in the Navy or Marines? Either way you will probable end up on a ship and I hear that the sea time is worth the port time!

Navy EOD. Marines just plain old infantry. I have my degree so E-3 is better than nothing.

Navy EOD is the best EOD out of the DD. If that is what you want to do I would go Navy. Infantry doesn't have a big after the Corps skill set. But I will tell you that the Infantry has a lot of fun.

It was Patrick.. but he has since used the 'work' excuse to stop coming :)

No the schedule changed for the summer (already sucks doing xfit when it's 80 out... not looking forward to 90s+) So it limited pat's avail to come in...

The classes kick my ass every time, and yes you can get the daily workout online, and you can do it at home... but I can never stick to doing anything solo.. I need that shit talking to stay motivated. I ate like poo over the weekend and I felt it in class yesterday... bleh.. no powah!

Well you gotta figure, most of those activities in between beer breaks were 1-2 hours long, so it wasn't really like we were pounding em down one after another. Well, we kinda were, but we had breaks in between lol.
Ok, really it should read like this:

Damn, that's some bad luck. Order online?

Lol so you understand what I meant in that thread I posted earlier about wanting more firepower. Don't suppose you happened to see a dark green lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee with no doors and a guy with a cowboy hat in the passenger seat?

Yeah dunno about that. I assume you could find one around $150.

And yeah... we hit the gas station right next to DenCol's fastener dept., the one on the north end of the warehouses... we pull up in the Jeep, and almost every other vehicle there is slammed or even dumber is lifted via ghettofab to fit the stupid-big chrome painted wheels. My buddies stay in the Jeep, I walk in to the gas station to piss and its like one of those old western movies... I walk through the door with my cowboy hat, boots, buckle, a big dip in, and everybody in there just kinda stops what they're doing and looks over at me with a cross between "the look" and "WTF?!" Of course they all have their pants halfway down their ass, shirts 5x too big, flatbill caps, gold jewelry and enormous flashy fake watches. It was all I could do to keep from cracking up. Just glad I was carrying.

And it was color filled

Yeah, I figured .357mag would do the trick. I really need to get another 1911 though. If I sell my truck before my buddy deploys on the 22nd, I'm getting his Springfield MilSpec with a bunch of custom work and that'll probably see most of the carry duty. It'd be nice cause it'll work better with this OSS holster thing.

Pics? Of the holster?

I want to see pics as well. I gave up my mil spec. Miss it.[Cry]

Gimme a min to get motivated to get up and take pics.

Basically you tie a piece of string (I used paracord) in a loop, then tie the loop around your belt by wrapping it around and pulling one end of the loop through the other like you would tie a rubber band. You want the part of the loop now sticking out to be on top. Then position it where you want to carry (I had my .357 at the 1 o'clock position to be more comfortable in the racing seats in my buddies Jeep) and put the gun through the loop. It sounds pretty ghetto, that was my first thought too, but it makes sense given its history.
I put some history about it in the thread.... http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41208

I'm using too much brain power explaining this. I'll just go take pics.

hey do any yous guys shoot 5.45x39? I just got back into the ak platform wondering what you guys think?

Ok pics are taken and just waiting for my 'tarded phone to sync with my computer and I can upload em.

I don't shoot it regularly, hardly ever really, and I don't own anything that shoots it, but from what I've seen about ballistics, gel tests, etc. and the availability of milsurp ammo I think it'd be a great round for SHTF.

That's what I was thinking. I bought the ak basically to store ungodly amounts of ammo and take it out in the woods and beat the shit out of it.

I say go for it. I'd do the same if I had the funds (and already had some of the other guns I want more lol).

Ok pics as promised. About as KISS as you can get. I was a little skeptical about how well it would work but I was pretty impressed. I figured it would just fall out but if your pants fit like they should and your belt does its job it holds the gun pretty securely. I loosened my belt a bit for the pics cause it was easier.

Paracord loop (reused from something else, and shows it, planning on picking up some new cord).
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/356/img1908a.jpg

Tie it around your belt like this. Don't know WTF happened to the pic but you get the idea... index and middle finger are the belt and my thumb is the gun.
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3302/img1909yu.jpg

Holds the gun like this. My thumb is just holding the left side of the handle from tipping cause of the center of gravity, the gun is completely supported by the loop and is actually pretty secured in there although it doesn't look like it... I imagine different guns might hold a little better or worse depending on the design.
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/5717/img1910qg.jpg

Another nice thing about it is that you can adjust it to not only whatever gun you've got (duh), but you can fine tune where you want the gun to sit... higher up for easy accessibility, make it longer for "deep cover."
http://img807.imageshack.us/img807/8927/img1913.jpg
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1381/img1914is.jpg

And if you need to ditch your gun quick (what this is really intended for) you can and you don't have a holster to worry about on top of it. Because of how its tied on the belt you can just pull on the top when there's no gun there and it just pulls off. More practically for most of us though, if we happen to not have our gun on us (have to leave it in your vehicle or whatever) the holster stays well out of the way... I haven't taken the holster off since this morning and honestly I forgot it was there.
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2443/img1916b.jpg

Also, for those of you white collar guys in NPE offices, set up to carry "deep cover" with black paracord (nice cord tied up neatly, unlike mine) over a black belt on black pants.... damn near unnoticeable and definitely unrecognizable.

WTF where did everybody go? Its only 2:45!

Damn those are some late hours. What do you do?

12am to 8am. I'm a security guard.[ROFL3][ROFL3]Very cheesy job with a ton of mall ninja's.

Well hey at least you get to sleep all day and don't need to put up with the summer heat. I get to do this too but its different lol.
Do you have any of the high speed low drag, tacticool, "I am NOT a Rent-a-Cop damnit!" types?

It's pretty obnoxious really. We have a variety of guys but a few of them are glock only, ninja throwing star warriors. They are always ready for an invasion. They all think their going to be SEALS. Funny thing is they are always not here when stuff actually happens. Like three weeks ago a gang banger was in a shoot out a few houses away from my work. Get's shot carrying his Hi-point and comes on the facility. I wasn't looking for trouble so no reason to get shot. He left. They were extremely sad they weren't able to be in the "shit."

Lol sounds like they'd be fun to fawk with, be pretty easy to get em goin if you made up a story and got a few of your coworkers in on it about some crazy chit going down and you guys jumping into action and saving the day. If I worked from 12-8, I'd probably spend the entire time thinking of ways to fawk with them. I take it that time range is generally pretty quiet? (other than the occasional gang banger getting shot, of course).

Yeah it's usually just me reading or talking with nurses. But until I decide what job I want to enlist with it pays the bills.
