Breakfall is an evil word! Can't recall how many times I was forced to throw myself on the ground for "good training".

Now that MCMAP has taken over the Marine Corps, instructors are "MCNinjas".

And the boots are tan-belt warriors.

The program is a joke. You learn nothing, it is a really a haze-fest. But it's fun being on the other end of it, lol.

Lol ... I served with a guy who thought the break the front breakfall was done from the standing so he would fall straight on his face everytime! The instructors obviously thought it was hilarious so they kept calling the other instructors and staff over to watch while they made him do it again, and again, and again! LMFAO!! The kid also was scared to do a right and left break fall because he said it hurt and he was scared of heights! Not the sharpest tool in the shed! Oh good lord the memories I have are priceless!! Thank god for everyday I got to spend in the Corps! Oooh Rah!! But I thank God even more that I am no longer in!! Lol...

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
