Dmn skippy. Thus far I have lost some serious weight by merely pushing away the carbohydrates.

As for the OP:
1. Losing fat
2. Getting the joint surgery I have postponed for 3 years. I'll be weak until I recover, but after that, I will be able to get back into trim.
2a. Hitting the combat bay tomorrow to practice single off-hand drawing, firing, drills, and administration.
3. And to that purpose, I am going to train up for a half and then a full marathon at a severely reduced weight. I ran a half a few years back at a weight most folk would not believe.
4. Moderate weight training from here on out. Getting to old to recover from my old school "squat or dead lift until you puke" leg days in a reasonable time frame.


Regards,

If your legs aren't what they used to be it doesn't mean you're useless. Can't explore the mountains like I used to. Now I use binoculars to plan a smarter path.

I do believe in the event said conflict comes to pass and the necessary use of force begins...............


the Marquis de Queensbury rules will be suspended


Just like in every fight I was ever in when younger.

When and if it gets so bad I can't continue, then I'll be like that guy in the movie sitting on a grenade or armed with what I have available trying to slow the bastids down some.

I don't believe it will come to armed revolt. I do believe like others here, they will try a political takeover.

We may end up having to fight the jackboots though. Probably not the majority of the rabblerousers in Antifa though.

40% of conservatives predict civil war in poll a week ago.

I am 69 years old and can still run a mile... but I can't see a mile or remember what I had for dinner.

You imply some kind of hand to hand stuff. Once it's decided that they can be killed, just hide and kill them. It's a lot safer that way. Why would I confront a known threat, and put myself in danger? Shoot the [bleep] and let them wonder where it came from.

Not gonna be much happen, no matter what age, or shape you are in without some organization.

Local organization.

The Left is VERY well organized. We are not.

Until we are, there will just be a bunch of tail chasing going on.


Be smart. Stay in communication.

Think straight. Don't let your emotions lead you... The Left is doing all this stuff to piss you off, and make you do something stupid. Patience.

IF, there is a civil war it won't be a fight with guns, it will be internet, government, elections etc. We all just essentially went through a dry run of how it will go. Invent a national issue, shut things down, control the people. Poof, to late to revolt. Any armed resistance will be squashed fast and hard. Don't want this? Elect good officials, especially president. Given where we are today, civil war will come out of house and senate and go "around" the president. Can't be done currently as they don't have veto proof majority.

There's no reason to fight fair, winners write history!

I’m worn out. I have no desires to try to get things "fixed".

Take your time and do things right.

There will be a task that is suited for everyone.

TTP,s...
Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures.

And marksmanship

Marksmanship.......


Lots of really really horrible stuff has been taught to millions of americans who served in various jobs in the military over the years and their time frames in the service.

I really dont think these people know what they are up against if this ever comes to happen.

Big word is " if"...

Then throw in millions and millions of other firearm owners and hunters and shooters across the nation.

Plenty of us have knowledge and experience to do some really horrific schit to the other side with no qualms whatsoever.

Just something as simple as 1 of a 100 versions of a baited ambush
would be devastating to the other side.
Multiply that x fold across the nation on a daily basis.



Shooting civil war is unlikely, even though being prepared for it is not a bad or unprobable thing.

The Liberal Socialist Democrats are conducting the war thru political manipulation and thought out schemes right now.
And they are gaining ground......


The america I knew in 1983 and the america I returmed to in 2008.
Was 180° opposite.
The election of obama in 08 and 12 spoke volumes about this country and what it meant how this nation was leaning.
Socialism to the max by any means possible.

I was pretty well sheltered for 24 plus years outside glancing in every so often.
1998 to 2001 was a eye opener as a recruiter for me.
I was so glad to get back to a line unit and my norm as a soldier.


As far as being " fit"
57 yrs old
5'11"
205
Not flab
Able to hang.....

I kept up with 18 to 25 yr olds on Oil Rigs from age 49 to 52.

And am active physically to this day.
Same guy i was in my youth.
Nope... no way.


I have been punched in the face ad nausem...
Training and for real since grade school.
Have had my azz kicked
And kicked azz.

A fist fight is way different than a fast extreme damage maiming and killing fight on purpose.

Many of these younger generation types have never been told no or ever been in a fight in their life.

I still got a good 20 to 30 seconds in me.
Lots can been done in that time.

Hard biscuits as rations, water taken direct from streams, canteens startlingly small by today’s standards. I wonder how many died from heatstroke.

Some folks need to be training their minds to wrap around the reality of the situation. How many guys here at the fire were tut tutting slapping a hippy in the back of the head as “cowardly” or white knighting about some dude throwing a crazy female rioter off him in the NM statue deal? The “that’s not who we are” crowd needs to get their head in the game or STFU. Not sure what kind of training will work for that but it doesn’t matter how physically fit you are if you are weak minded and lack determination.
