Sure it is. So is working offshore. Let's talk abut those heroes.
That would be appropriate in a thread about offshore workers. You asked the question, highspeed, I just answered it. Is it typical for offshore workers to spend a year at a time away?

Depends on your hand position, really.
Most people in my experience can do more chin-ups than pullups if their chin-ups are done close grip. Wide grip chin-ups are where most people struggle, in my experience.

Thank you for your sacrifice. Seems like you did it for your country
What a stupid comment. Compensation is the same for everyone, regardless of the reason for joining. I'm medically retired for combat related injuries so you can spout all the smart arse "sacrifice" comments you want. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

You weren't drafted. You signed up. Stop being a martyr. You made zero difference. The war still goes on with no end in sight. No resolution on the horizon. But hey, you have a retirement. Sweet.

Does "late 30's" typically mean 35? And acknowledging that I joined voluntarily and am happy with my choice is being a martyr? You just make up shite.

This is your point of contention?
Good for you and your early retirement. Thanks for keeping me safe at night.

Way to skip the rest.

But only a non-trashy person can go to a military institution.
Depends on what you consider a trashy person. But I would assume that the standards to get into an IVY level institution are very high.
So now your options would be to fill the ranks of our military with only those individuals who graduated from one of the service academies? Know how I know you didn't go anywhere past high school? Even thinking you graduated from a public school is a stretch of the imagination.

He's trolling you, or he isn't worth engaging. Just let it go.

Good advice.

I agree with this - you get more help from the biceps with chin ups and pull ups are tougher for those unconditioned to lifting their own fat asses. Also easier for me to finish the chin up rep, than a pull up once I get a little tired. So, if someone is grading strictly, I'd much rather chins to pullups. YMMV.

I started out doing chin-ups just because I could do 15 or so from the get go and only like 5 pullups. My DI was the one that told me to switch over but I ignored him. After a Year killing myself to get 20 chin-ups I started doing pull-ups. After a couple months of wide, close, and normal gip pyramids 20 pullups were easy.

Unless you're a runner you're full of shite. A mile and a half in under 8 minutes is damned strong running.
When I was in, 3 miles was done under 18 minutes. Had to do 20 pull ups under 2 minutes and 80 sit ups under two minutes.
Freaking pussies kids now.
Go ahead and play some more video games, fat fricks.

Then you meet the minimum standards to be recruited for basic training. That is all.

That was for a max score, not the minimum. No go crawl back into your cave gramps.

Pull-ups aren't timed
