I bought the Nike Fuelband as well and can confirm it is a great motivator. Everyone is always asking about it, and now a couple people at work want one.

Bought some Nike Flyknits as well for $86.

Are those shoes meant to be used with no socks?

It is purely for entertainment you know.

I never said it wasn't? I just said it was "extremely unrealistic, but good movie". Just more unrealistic then a lot of military movies that I've seen.

So I had forgotten I wanted one of these, saw your post, went to their website........and 5 minutes later found out my wife bought me one for my birthday next month, hahaha.

So indirectly, you just ruined my birthday! :D

My fiancée got me a Spigen Ultra Flip for my birthday. I love it so far. The material and finish are great. It offers good protection and looks good on the phone.

I tried to put two cards in the pocket, but the cover wouldn't close all the way.

I think I will be jail breaking soon to make the case work just like the Smart Cover on my iPad.

Sorry about the pictures, they were taken in bad light with my iPad.

Wow, that's awesome!



Hmm, have you seen the movie? No soldier, especially a senior NCO acts like that guy.

Hmm...I have seen the movie and I think it's quiet realistic yes some parts may have been exaggerated but I disagree that its 'extremely unrealistic'. I know the EOD guys in my company when I was in Iraq for 2 tours had the same character; the same goes for the Recon platoon that I was attached with. No one could say anything to those guys because they knew their *(&^#.

As far as the scenarios go, I've been in a situation where in the movie he pulls out a bunch of daisy chained IEDs 155 rounds and starts cutting them one by one by the blasting caps. I was in a similar situation where I found 4 that was stacked on top of each other and back then we were allowed to cut blasting caps. I was 1371 Combat Engineer USMC attached to a Recon Platoon at that time; no bomb suit, no robot just metal detector and c4.

One thing that was unrealistic though was the part where he went out of the FOB and out into the city and ran back. That was complete BS lol.

You have a E5 punch a E7 and not get into trouble? You know people who snuck out the wire like he did?

Again I said the part of sneaking out the FOB was completely unrealistic. Yes I've seen NCOs get in a scuffle with SNCOs. I've had a e5 at the time when I was e3 tell our butter bar some pretty disrespectful things that would usually be something punishable, but my e5 told him those things to straighten him out or else some of us wouldn't be making back to state side due to his decisions. Anywho, there's a lot of things that go on in the military that go unpunished.

Ordered some goodies for my bike so when the weather gets better I'll be ready.

Tech-Spec tank grips
Puig racing screen
OEM passenger pegs
Proton flush mount front turn signals

And finally I picked up some Bilt riding jeans from my local Cycle Gear. Of course when I wanted to go try them out today, I come home to find my battery dead. Figures.

Very nice. Where did u get them for such a good price?

Buddy from work, he works at one of those running stores that specializes in analyzing your walking and running patterns. He has a second pair that I might take in Lime green as well. Going to get them steam fitted tomorrow. :D

----------

Are those shoes meant to be used with no socks?



I never said it wasn't? I just said it was "extremely unrealistic, but good movie". Just more unrealistic then a lot of military movies that I've seen.

Yeah they are, I am going to the NikeTown store in Chicago tomorrow to get them steam fitted. I guess once they do that, they form to your feet like they are meant to.
