Was he smaller (at least in weight) when he served?  I take you at your word about your friend 100% but SpecFor guys usually tend to run toward “average” size and often smaller. A humongous guy in those communities is pretty rare.

He was thinner when he served. That was his weight when I met him. He had been out about 10 years when I met him. He was not in a good place and was a scary man.

I have two cousins who served in Special Forces. Both were in the Iraq War.

One of them found himself in a pretty bad place later on as well, but I don't necessarily think it had to do with his military experiences.

My friend started to drink pretty heavy and run around with a bad crowd of people. It ended up costing his marriage and his legs.

That's the Seal training program, right?

Oh no! That's BUD/S. That ish is completely different. I'm confident in saying no one on that show would last a day at BUD/S. No one. Some of them might die. IF they let them do it. 

I seriously considered going Navy SEAL. I was 165 pounds as a 19 year old. Benched 365, Squat 485, ran a 4.59 40 yard, 4.12 shuttle, 37" vertical (only 5'8"), ran 1.5 miles in 9:15. Pretty athletic. 

We had an actual SEAL in my graduating class. I was nothing to him. Nothing. Easily the most mentally strong person I'd ever met.

Decided I'd just drive Navy destroyers and fire some TOMAHAWK missiles instead.

      I’m sure it’s been said but I just want to drop in to say Tom Brady sucks.  That is all.

      Anyone left who does not believe in Bryce ?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Who has passed judgment? Y'all are a piece of work. You act like stating the obvious current trend on QB efficiency on two young QBs, including ours, is passing judgement. I know some of you have a difficult time comprehending, while others of you feign it. The story hasn't been written on either Stroud, or, more importantly, Bryce Young. As I am a Panthers fan, I am infinitely more interested in discussing Bryce, and not just in a negative sense whenever the topic of Stroud comes up like some...and I'm not going to apologize for it, and I'm not going to apologize for being tired of the understated shots at Young whenever the two come up, and I'm certainly not going to continue to discuss either of them within the context of the past, and definitely not going to negate the larger context of their current situations when comparing them presently and speculating about the future. Deal with it!

      Grading our Recent Draft History

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      As a first round draft pick, I expected much more from XL. Brooks was a second round pick they lit on fire. Finding Coker undrafted is the lightning this team lucks its way in to from time to time (Luvu, Smitty in the third, Norwell in FA, Jake, etc). I like smith-Wade and really like Sanders.  so I’ll give this draft a D unless they find a way to parlay Brooks in to a decent draft pick from another team. I don’t think he plays a meaningful down here. No draft where first and second round picks are wiffs get better than a D.  Teams that whiff repeatedly on first and/or second round picks … (like this team does)… they suck. And they stay awful until they accept just how devoid they are of real talent. At that point a new, smart, GM comes in and in 2 drafts, picking in the top 5, choosing the OBVIOUS BPA PICK… they now have legit, young, blue chip talent raising the level of play of the entire team. I can see how selling an owner on a BPA strategy would be hard to do.
