    Gas will be or is $4 a gallon already sooo....:biggrin_25510:

    You really want Fidel to hand you a Cuban?? I'd rather smoke anything else then support a dictator but that's just me...

    Only way to be Pres is to become a liar and a crook so I think I'll pass there too... stick to fibbing on my comic book instead!! Although the pay is better at the top!!! :yes2557:

    Yep I do...don't care about politics in country or out either. Having Fidel hand me one is about the only way you're gonna get a genuine Cuban and that was the point.

    Of course, if you happen to have a genuine Cuban, we can leave Fidel out of this and I'll open with a case of moon pies.........

    Love them DP's and Cokes too but they are fat city guy. Powdered creamer in your coffee and most everything from the grill. They buy institutional food full of starch to fill your belly.... same thing in schools.

    Do Adkins....meat only some vegs. No bread, no taters. I had to learn to change habits too. Came in exhausted at night and packed belly... I was starving ! Then went to bed....worst thing you can do. You have to eat bfast and some lunch and a very light dinner or none at all. Also have to suck down Oz of water a day. that's allot!

    Good luck!!

    I have had genuine Cuban's and a good Nicaraguan blows them away!! But it might be good to have a variety, after all it is the spice of life!!! And I'll take a nice craft beer instead of moonpies if you don't mind... not much of an eater while I smoke!!!

    Good point. I wonder if TMC is using some sort of BMI (Body Mass Index) chart? I've seen those wretched charts ever since my military days, and I've always hated them. They're nowhere near as accurate as their proponents seem to think. When I was in the Navy (and the Army National Guard later on) I always exceeded the limits of the BMI chart. Whenever I would get called into the Command Fitness Coordinators' office I would always get these strange looks; sure, the official measurements had me at 5'9" and 225 lbs, but would never mention that I was at only 10% body fat (I was also a powerlifter at the time).

    BMI calculations usually fail to account for stuff like that. Also, at 6'3", the OP is naturally going to carry a bit more weight than an average-sized gent due to his tall frame. Judgements like these are best left to someone who actually has a medical qualification, rather than some paper-shuffling bureaucrat.

    Oh Im not saying that Im not fat. Ill be the first to admit that Im a fatboy. But theres muscle under that fat too so Im pretty solid, and not as big as my weight leads them to believe. Theres a guy in school with me right now that weighs 280, and even he says hes bigger than me. Theres a difference in being FAT and being big. And Im also not trying to make anyone think Im a body builder, but my point is there can be all different body types that weigh the same. Im sure youve all seen the driver at the truck stop who is so sloppy fat that he only wears sweat pants and stretchy shorts, along with his 3X t-shirt that doesnt even stretch over his massive gut. The point of the original post was, TMC has no clue who they turned down by simply looking at the number 325. For all they know, they could have just rejected Brock Lesnar. Weight tells them nothing about bone density, muscle mass, or fat. Theres a lot more fat in each pound than there is muscle.

    You do not need to wait for a recruiter to come to your school.
    check out my thread heading to little rock. It gives a very detailed description of what it is like at Maverick. I have been there one year now.
    Best of luck...by the way, TMC rejected me...best thing that ever happened!
