It's in March.<br />I heard packing your back pack with certain items makes it better but I was never told what they were or how to pack it. <br />Any advise would greatly be appreciated.

Aging processes and arthritis, I do know about.! <br /><br />"DROP" (w/o bothering to say 'for 20'), was my favorite one word command! Remembering how my shoulders grate as I turn over in bed at night, I restrain myself from executing "DROP" anytime at this stage of my life. It is difficult; yesterday, I was at a local recruiting station watching two future Soldiers endure a bit of training. I refrained from demonstrating, "DROP"!<br /><br />Sometime, one must think smart and preserve already deteriorating body parts! Y'all youngsters will soon be smarter, the only requirements are time on earth!
