Just a new thread to spell Marine properly!

No shoot.

Wouldn't any decent drill instructor demand 100 pushups for
misspelling "Marine"? :-)


He'd be SOL... best I ever did was 72 full pushups.... that is , touching
my
chest each time and fully extending my arms on the up portion.


I think I got up to about 32 once. Having 37" arms is not an aid to
pushups. The short armed little guys definitely had the advantage in the
pushup category.


Good Lord! I could do 20 one handed.
I'm talking 35 years ago.


You're the *man*!
