20% Pay Raise for Junior Enlisted!! 2025
The House Armed Services Committee is committed to getting junior enlisted service members a 20% (19.5%) raise next year!! This is the biggest pay bump the military has ever seen, and in my opinion, is long overdue. But we still have to see what the Senate Armed Services Committee wants to do, hopefully their proposal isn't too far off from the HASC's.

I Tried the NEW Ranger School Physical Assessment (RPA 2.0)
I officially put the new, highly anticipated Ranger School Physical Assessment (RPA 2.0) to the test, and I have to say, it did not disappoint! The Airborne & Ranger Training Brigade is currently working through the process of trialing and implementing the new test. Although they still have to work out the kinks, this is what you can expect!

Its really just a matter of time before all service members are tested. But you should not be doing steroids anyways, and here's why. I DO NOT CONDONE THE USE OF STEROIDS, PERIOD.

Weighted Vest Workout in 10-Minutes | Military Fitness
Time to smoke yourself! And this 10 minute workout will get you there. I'm using a 20lb weighted vest for this, but you can go lighter or heavier. Or, you can just run through this workout without the vest and just go bodyweight. And if you need a little more sweat, run this workout for a few rounds! Let us know what you think!

I Tried the "VOMLET" MRE 🤢 This is NOT for the Weak...
After years of searching for this extremely rare and "gem" of an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat), I finally was able to get my hands on a Veggie Omelet and Cheese MRE. Witness the glory that is the "Vomelet," and join with me as I take on the seemingly impossible feat of eating this otherwise inedible piece of sustenance. Together, we will adventure through the journey and wonderment of the experience. But, be warned, this is NOT FOR THE WEAK...

Home Gym Review | Major Lutie PLM03 Power Rack
Major Lutie Fitness reached out and asked if I'd be willing to test out their Power Rack, and being the nice guy that I am, I agreed! I put this system through the gambit, using it for an entire week's worth of strength training workouts. Here's my review!

"Fan Dance" | World's Oldest Special Forces Test | Brecon Beacons, Wales
The Fan Dance is a grueling 24km SAS Selection test march staged over Pen y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons. The infamous march is the world’s oldest Special Forces test and is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental aptitude to complete the legendary Selection course. I was lucky enough to get a chance to take on this challenge, sponsored by Crossfire Australia. During the march, I wore a one of a kind, DG-3, and the pack held up great! Make sure to check them out if your in the market for a new ruck!!

Ruck Repeats for SPEED!
Trying to get your Rucking Pace down? Try this:
RUCK REPEATS
- Half mile “trot,” or Airborne Shuffle, jog, whatever you want to call it.
- Half mile “stride,” smooth but deliberate walk, it shouldn’t be too leisurely.
Do that for your desired milage for your training session.
-
-
Here is an example on how it works:
• You “trot” for a half mile at a 12:00 per mile pace (could be faster, but let’s just use this for simplicity).
• You then “stride” (rest) for a half mile at a 16:00 per mile pace (typically way too slow right?)
• That combined puts you at a 14:00 per mile pace, EXCEEDING the typical 15:00 per mile Army standard.
-
-
Doing this will help you average down your total “per-mile” pace, and will get you total for distance and time down! It works, give it a shot! 👊
