A man can live 40 days without food, 7 days without water, 3 minutes without air, yet not a single second without hope. Never give up.

At the end of pain is success. The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do today. The clock is ticking. Are you becoming the person you want to be?

The look of accomplishment after a killer WOD with the homie. "All you need in life is protein, weights, and Kevin Gates." 100 box jumps on a 24" box, 100 pull ups, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and 100 air squats all in full kit. #creatineandkilos #arsandbars #gunsandgains

Murphy’s Laws of Combat
Murphy’s Laws of Combat Soldiers and Armies 1. You are not Superman. 2. Professionals' are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs. 3. No combat ready unit has passed inspection. 4. No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat. 5. The side with the fanciest uniforms loses. 6. Murphy was a grunt. Battle 1. If you are short everything except enemy, you're in combat. 2. When both sides are convinced they are about to lose, they're both right. Planning 1. The important things are simple. 2. The simple things are very hard. 3. No plan survives the first contact intact. 4. Prefect plans aren't. Tactics 1. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire. 2. Never draw fire, it makes everyone around you nervous. 3. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo. 4. If the enemy is within range, so are you. 5. Anything you can do can get you shot, including doing nothing. 6. If the enemy is in range, "SO ARE YOU!!!" 7. If you can't see the enemy, he still may be able to see you. Techniques 1. If it's stupid but works, it's not stupid. 2. When in doubt, empty the magazine. 3. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you. 4. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush. 5. The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack. 6. The easy way is always mined. 7. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy. 8. Teamwork is essential. It gives the enemy other' to shoot at. 9. Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you can't get out. 10. The only terrain that is truly controlled is the terrain upon which you're standing. 11. The easy way generally gets you killed. 12. If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share objectives to take. 13. You can win without fighting, but it's a lot tougher to do. And the enemy may not cooperate. Casualties 1. Ammo is cheap; your life isn't. 2. It's easier to expend material in combat than to fill out the forms for Graves Registration. Weapons 1. Always keep in mind that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder. 2. The law of the bayonet says the man with the bullet wins. 3. Tracers work both ways. 4. The best tank killer is another tank. Therefore tanks are always fighting each other... and have no time to help the infantry. 5. Armored vehicles are bullet magnets, a moving foxhole that attracts attention. 6. All five second grenades are three seconds. 7. The bursting radius of a grenade is always one foot greater than your jumping range. 8. If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed towards YOU. 9. Recoilless rifles, aren't. Artillery and Bombing 1. Suppressive fire, won't. 2. Final protective fire doesn't. 3. Friendly fire, isn't. 4. Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately. 5. Incoming fire has the right-of-way. 6. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire. 7. If you are forward of your position, artillery will fall short. 8. All-weather close support doesn't work in bad weather. 9. Precision bombing is normally accurate within plus/minus one mile. 10. Cluster bombing from B-52s and C-130s is very, very accurate. The bombs always hit the ground. Supply 1. Murphy was a logistician. 2. Things that must be together to work, usually can't be shipped together. 3. Radios will fail as soon as you need something desperately. 4. Beer math is "2 beers x 37 men = 49 cases." Intelligence 1. Body count math is: two guerrillas plus one portable plus two pigs=37 enemy in action. 2. The enemy side always looks stronger, especially when they are firing at you, to both sides. 3. The othersides weapons always seem to look better than you own. 4. The noisiest weapons always appear to the most powerful.

I HAVE HELD A JOB!
Howard Metzenbaum to John Glenn: Metzenbaum: “How can you run for Senate when you’ve never held a ‘job’?” Glenn: “I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I was through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 differentoccasions. I was in the space program. It wasn’t my checkbook, it was my life that was on the line. This was not a 9-to-5 job where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank. I ask you to go with me, as I went the other day to a Veterans Hospital, and look those men with their mangled bodies in the eye and tell them they didn’t hold a job. You go with me to any Gold Star mother, and you look her in the eye and tell her that her son did not hold a job. You go with me to the space program, and you go as I have gone to the widows and the orphans of Ed White and Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee, and you look those kids in the eye and tell them that their dad didn’t hold a job. You go with me on Memorial Day coming up, and you stand on Arlington National Cemetery — where I have more friends than I like to remember — and you watch those waving flags, and you stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell me that those people didn’t have a job. I tell you, Howard Metzenbaum, you should be on your knees every day of your life thanking God that there were some men — SOME MEN — who held a job. And they required a dedication to purpose and a love of country and a dedication to duty that was more important than life itself. And their self-sacrifice is what has made this country possible. I HAVE HELD A JOB, HOWARD!”

"The pain that you hold is yours. There is not a single pain quite like it. Nobody else on God's Green Earth can feel this pain, or have the indescribable feeling of pride you will have when you overcome it. This pain is not your curse; this pain is your privilege." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
