I ...Funny thing...when I was in Iraq, I turned 49. I was the oldest guy in our Batt...but a few times I had to help the younger lads carry their gear when we were out on missions. <br />See, it's not that I was just in good shape, but from all my years, I knew what to pack and what to leave in Baghdad...so I had less crap than they did. <br /><br />When we get older, we're also supposed to get smarter. Use your brain and years of common sense. <br /><br />I had to do that WWMD training stuff in a course where I was going to train cops. I was the oldest cop in the class. The day we did our big test with full MOPP, it was over 90 degrees. I not only kept up, but out did the young fat coppers.CI-Roller Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850472230525879415noreply@blogger.com
