Conducted during the tenth and final week of their training at Kaohsiung military base, the Road is a grueling crawl along a pathway of jagged stones and coral. The men aren’t allowed to wear anything but shorts as they tackle the belly-down crawl, and instructors stop them and force them to do calisthenics in the middle. By the end, their bodies are bloody, tattered messes, but if the recruits don’t perform to the Marine standard they’re forced to do the whole thing over again.Commando Hubertimage: https://www.craveonline.com/assets/mandatory/legacy/2016/09/man_file_1117317_brutalregimens2.jpgThe Most Brutal Military Training RegimensThe French don’t have the world’s most fearsome reputation, but to become a frogman in the elite Commando Hubert division requires training that would destroy an ordinary man.

Yet I still worry about so many things of the future, and my own being and I try so hard to stay in the NOW, but the mind constantly is wondering ahead. Do you ever get caught up in thoughts of tomorrow or even next year, and how do you stop/stay in just the Present?

OK so not an earth-shattering skill, (lol tho I have others that are :P) but it's surprising... and it's because when i was a kid my mum worked for a printer and she would sometimes bring home magistrates newsletters and publications to finish off at home.. and I would help her.. we used to have this special tool made from bone... I also am a gardener extraordinaire and I know a ton of stuff about children with additional support needs... And what I thought was.... we are probably all full of strange, quirky skills that we somehow acquired along the way... It's kinda cool.... and that's one of the things I love about people... they are endlessly fascinating and have diverse backgrounds and history. less

They believe no one else will want them and they don't want to be alone so they grovel and subject themselves to being treated like trash. I never thought that an entire political party could be like that. But you see what has happened to the once-proud Republican party. Never in a million years would I have foreseen this turn of events.

I suppose giving back worser/bigger/morer is proportional and appropriate and necessary or he/she wouldn't do it. Correct?

Did you ever scare yourself because you got so angry/enraged/furious? How did it feel and did it ever happen again?
