I apologize for not fact checking 1stindoor, I thought you had mentioned in a post awhile back you ran marathons. Nice deadlift regardless.
However, I very much like the above quoted section of your reply. Good stuff.

No worries. As for my "quotes on running," I've got lots of them...not all of which are original.
1. I never ran from anyone...so why practice. This one is mine. Though I'm certain it's been used by others.
2. Running breeds cowardice. This came from a former Tm Sgt.
3. Don't run, why risk the chance of dying tired. Let the other poor sumbich die while gasping for air. A former teammate.
4. If running is designed to get your heartrate up...then I'm already ahead of the game from my first cigarette (I used to say Copenhagen, although I quit several years ago). Another former Tm Sgt.

I got to spend a two weeks with a Field Artillery Bn (1-10FA IIRC) at FT Benning. Once a month they were required to run 5 miles in under 60 minutes. BNCO stood on a jeep (in those days) and stated "we will run five miles in 59 mminutes, not 58. We are Artillerymen, and if Artillerymen are running there is something seriously, tactically wrong." Sure as sh!t 59 on the button.
I left my desire to be an Artilleryman somewhere on the side of the road that day, I could not wait to go Infantry.

Should men in uniform be forced to shave?
Should men in uniform be forced to shave?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12740975
This story is dated 03/23/2011 - Think somebody at the BBC is a lurker on the board? 
"A rabbi is suing the US Army for refusing to let him serve unless he removes his beard. The US military, as well as many police forces across America, require recruits to be clean shaven. But what is wrong with sporting a beard in the line of duty?
Chin straps, goatees, stubble, soul patches, mutton chops or just the old-fashioned full version................."

Reminds me of a story about one of my uncles. He was visiting his priest, who was a gentleman from Africa and an avid runner. The priest wanted to excuse himself after the meeting to go run, and invited my uncle to join him. My uncle replied, "You have long legs and are clearly God built you to be a runner. We Polish men, we have been given short, stout legs to better stand our ground and fight."

That's classic right there. I would add this one to the mix from an old 18E of mine, "I don't have to run...no one can take my lunch money."
As for the beards, 'staches, turbins, etc...Once we allowed the Sikh waiver the door moved wide open. The Rabbi has a good case now...as does the hasidic jew, the muslim, and everyone else that can claim they're being discriminated against.

Absolutely.........  It maybe true that an old walrus like myself is not adherent to all the things that our new army is changing into,I'm just glad that I don't have to serve in it today........ It's just to much BS that these young tigers have to put up with..........
