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...

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's my deal. I hate the whole "Alpha" bullshit, because it has been turned into an act, a marketing ploy and a wonky set of qualifications. What I think you need as a QB for your team is the happy, smart leader that brings his teammates along rather than throwing them on his back. And they need to be a stone cold killer when they get to the field. As much as I dislike the guy, it's Brady over the Mannings. It's Montana over Marino. It's Bradshaw over Staubach.  And here's the one that'll get me killed around here: It's Jake over Cam.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By Jmac · Posted

      Joe Burrow hasn't played for three quarters of the season and very little in the pre-season. He comes back and posts some very good numbers and leads his team to victory. That's what a #1 franchise QB should be doing, not whatever is going on here. The eye test doesn't lie. Throw out the rose colored glasses and believe what your eyes are telling you. Five more games and then a decision needs to be made on a certain players permanent status.  Do what is right for the team and fiqure out how to improve that one very critical position. Please don't fug it up this time.

      Week 13: Other NFL Games

      I’m all for bringing a QB in but who? The FA list is ass. The draft class isn’t great I’d take a flier on Trey Lance and if available in 4th someone like Leavitt or Mateer? I never wanted Dalton back especially at the contract Dan gave him. He’s utterly useless on the field and his cap hit isn’t nothing. He provides nothing.  There’s a lot of bad QB play this year and passing is down. Guys worth trading for are most likely not going to get traded.  As much as many of you don’t want to hear it our best option is to decline the 5th year option. Give Bryce 2026 while we have him under contract. Then in 2027 either sign Bryce (tag would be an option. Don’t repeat the Darnold mistake) or draft another QB and do it all again
