    This is awesome, I'm glad to see this. Our troops need as much support as we can give them.

    I consider people serving in the military as heros/heroine. Hope you can get some supplements over there. I'm amazed you have internet access over there. Is it Satalite or what?. Good luck and God Bless.

    No kidding. That's cool. Lifting is such a good way to get in shape and pass the time here.

    Thank you very much for your support. As for internet, it's amazing some of the comforts we have here, it still kind of sucks being away from our families for 15 months. You have to find a good hobby here to keep your sanity.

    Very true. When I was in Iraq working 14-16 hours a day, I still found the time everyday to hit the gym. I had to get up at 3a.m. but it damn sure was worth it.

    Some of the bigger bases in the "desert" are hooked up pretty nice. I was at Balad/Anaconda in Iraq and we had a damn near full size gym, a Burger King, Pizza Hut, and a Taco Bell.izza:

    Ours was open 24 hours a day (Prince Sultan Airbase, outside of Riyadh) and there is nothing like some late night cardio and a HEAVY chest workout, then walking out into an 85 degree 2 a.m. ultra clear, starry evening, with the peaceful serenity a stark contrast to the complete chaos so close by.

    Yep. It's just starting to get hot here. This heat is killer, it's even worse in Kuwait.. no breeze there.

    I've been to both and I don't think either were too bad. I know a lot of people hated Osan, but I really enjoyed my time there. If you get away from Songtan theres a lot of stuff to do in Korea. Plus, traveling is crazy cheap there.

    i'da taken the balad trip. i did korea back in 99 and i was an alcoholic at 19. back then they sold budweiser in the vending machines for a dollar a can. deployments is what got me into the gym and loving how it made me look and feel. plus its the only thing that keeps me from whoopin ass on my junk-ass warrant officer(working out that is)
