I knew it was Sunday when I woke up. I even remember that it was supposed to be SaintPatrick’s Day this weekend. So why did I not look for a green shirt to wear today? My brother took too much pleasure from pinching me for not wearing green today.
New tests
The battlefields that Americans have been fighting on lately demand a lot from a soldier. In response to that, the U.S. Army has decided that new fitness tests are needed. The tests now demand that soldiers perform a certain amount of running, sit-ups, and pushups.
The Army commanders want to change the tests so that they reflect what is needed in battle. This will include an obstacle course in full combat gear as well as running test of 400 meters carrying a rifle. The soldiers will also carry sleds weighted with sandbags to the tune of 180 pounds. I think this is the correct course for our future fighting forces.
Helping a Friend
Everybody knows that the one thing I love is cars. I like looking at them and comparing the different types. That’s why I am frequently asked to help my friends when they are considering buying a new or used car. It seems that I have become the office expert. My friend don was interested in purchasing a car and he asked me what I thought. I told him I would help if I could.
The first car that always comes to my mind is the chevy. They are American built cars that are of a high standard. The one I am in love with recently is the Chevrolet Cruze Lt. It’s a nice piece of machinery that makes economic sense in this day and age. I like its style and looks and I think Don would look good driving it around.
There are other cars that I like as well. One that I really like is the Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible. It has what it takes to make the driver feel good about driving. There is one last car I should mention and that is the Subaru Legacy 2.5Gt. I like this vehicle as it has many options that are available and would be a great car for anyone. I liked helping Don make his choice and I hope I can do more of this type of thing in the future.
