Not trying to call you out, but I guess this is just one of those things I'd almost have to see to believe. I'll give the benefit however, and if you tell me you were going from 90 degrees to elbows locked out almost 2 times per second for 1:45 straight, I'll take your word on it and give props. I remember having some graders that would just flat refuse to count the rep if you were going so fast that they couldn't tell if you were locking out at the top or not.

All of you are banned for thirty days. Go watch Simpson utube videos and we'll see you back in a month.

[quote=barjbar;9356863]I signed up for a Victory motorcycle ride to get a chance to win a ride with R Lee Ermy. The ad says you ride with him, the fine print says it's a meet and greet plus a week at Daytona FOR ONE! I'm not planning on taking the Victory for a ride but it would be neat to win and meet The Gunny.[/quote

The prize is a trip to daytona for ONE? How cheap and cheezy is that? I've been in media and promotions for 30 years...you ALWAYS award the prize for 2 people, be it be for movie tickets or cruises, whatever. Otherwise (in most cases) the winner will have to spring for a spouse/companion to join them. I mean, who wants to go to a movie alone...let alone a trip or a dinner. "Win dinner for one!"

If Sears still sold them, I'd sign up for an Allstate ride to try and win a ride with R Lee Ermy. My daughter would say I have no pride, but for a day with R Lee, well, the other military vets here should understand.

Because it's a ride with gunny two-up. A third person wouldn't fit.

I watched a series on Netflix about weapons with R Lee Ermy hosting it.
I got a kick out of the series.

The most I've done is 3 push ups in 2 minutes and then my tongue got so cold I couldn't eat anymore.

I've met him. Probably the world's nicest celebrity. We talked about being a drill sergeant/instructor a little and I have the coin he gave me on my coin rack with the ones from generals/sergeants major/units/etc.
