We had a pretty good one set up before we had running water. You'll usually have the opportunity to work out and PT, depending on your job and current operations.

Go to the gym as much as possible while your here, were on a three and one schedule and I work out every day of the week and take every eigth day off. Its real easy to avoid going to the gym while your here there is a lot of fat body's here. The worst physical riggor is dealing with the damn heat it was 140 degrees yesterday and its $%^@! october. anyway once you get used to the heat getting your body adjusted to going to the gym all the time is probably the only other thing thats tough, and curing boredom. Good luck when you arrive because that means i'll be gettin relieved

I have never been over seas but it was nice to see there are other military here. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a sholder injury? I am currently in from the field for an sholder injury and in two weeks I get to go back to the field along with that they are telling me to work on my upper sholder musles. Do you know what is the best way to get started and any suggestions?

Good luck

Although currently I am not in and havent been for a while because of medical issues that got me discharged it is still nice to know im not the only person who served in the military on this site. Good luck to all of you over seas and those going over. I wish I could join you and if this doctors appointment works out thursday I might be able to. -------------- Once a Soldier, always a Soldier!
