While a part of it was basic PT (sit ups, push ups, pull ups, ect), much of it was at least somewhat practical. Carrying a weighted dummy a specified distance in a specified time. Carrying a weight up several flights of stairs, that type of activity. I wonder it the weight of the dummy has been increased since then to reflect the increasing levels of overweight and obesity in the population. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never mind that if these are minimum requirements, every firefighter should re-qualify every year to maintain their job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,076 #53 August 12, 2019 Trump is sick of people calling him a racist just because he acts, talks and tweets like a racist. But he has an alternative to saying that people "play the race card." He recently said “For them to throw out the race word again — racist, racist, racist. They call anybody a racist when they run out of cards.” So people _aren't_ playing the race card, they are playing some other cards? What are these cards? The "Trump lost the popular vote" card? The "shooters are inspired by Trump's rhetoric" card? The "Trump asked Russia to hack the US" card? Apparently everything except race. So keep that in mind, Trump supporters. There are no racism cards, per Trump. Racism is what you use when you run out of other cards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which I would expect to completely brain lock jebus followers given it would be impossible he was anything other than brown skinned, if the fables were true anyway. God cursed his own son. I wonder if that's why he killed him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
