I was wondering how easily he could be lifted and carried out of it?

CountDC said:sooo - how do they explain the fact that there are body builders in the Navy that are able to maintain while with the ships?

PuckChaser said:So this guy embarassed himself and the Navy for $3500 bucks? Wow. :facepalm:
Chief Stoker said:Yes CPF's do and so does the 280. I'm pretty sure subs don't and MCDV's have 1 bike, elliptical and 1 treadmill for 40 people. If your lucky its not too rough to actually use the gear and when everyone is using the gear sometimes you may have to go 2 in the morning to get your run in. Its far from ideal and we have to be flexible. Being on a ship does not promote a healthy lifestyle, its slowly changing but we're not there yet.
PuckChaser said:Definitely seems like a tough go. But unless this person was on ship 24/7/365 for 20 years, at some point on shore duty you have to say to yourself "Man, I'm gaining weight on ship. I better muckle down and go hard on fitness before I sail again to sort this out."
