    I agree with drebk, nothing will improve your pushup total more than...pushups.  I have benched (in fact I find it hurts my left shoulder if I overdo them) a lot over the years and to be honest have done nothing but pushups since January and was pleasently surprized to find that my chest has...

    Cath, My file arrived in Borden on June 4.  Everything went really well BUT I was informed that I will not make summer (reserve) BMQ as my file will languish for at least 4 weeks.  It does look like my unit will have to offer fall BMQ as there are quite a few of us who have missed the boat. Best...

    Spreading pushups and sit ups throughout the day is actually based on some sound scientific theory, mostly done in Eastern Europe, when the Communist Bloc was still around.  I have included a link to a newsletter, MilFit, that specifically discusses improving your push up total, you will find it...

    Have We forgotten?....Sept. 11

    The clock radio had just woken my wife and I up and the announcer came on to say that a plane had flown into the WTC.  I mentioned to my wife, "I bet that Osama bastard had something to do with it", we spent the rest of the day watching events unfold.

    Chilliwack BMQ/SQ Question

    I have been given a couple of possible BMQ dates for Chilliwack this summer.   From June 28 to August 29 and from July 2 to August 31.   Recruiting staff have been less than informative about the details.   My understanding is that BMQ is approximately 20 to 21 days long.   From the above dates...
