STM,
Did you get it yet?

P.S. Spoke with the Warrior Foundation on Monday, 22AUG.
We've now raised just over $9,800 towards the initial goal of raising $20,000 towards funding a scholarship.
Books are really starting to sell quickly now and we're almost half way there...
Only 10 more books until we hit the $10,000 mark!

Then why don't you simply increase your distance a little? You shouldn't need specific directions for that. Figure around 15 minutes/mile to determine the time limit (although you should shoot for better than that).

Roger that, I am working my feet up to it with some new boots(all I owned previously were steeltoe boots for work), I am making about 13:50 to 14:00 miles at the 3 mile distance with a 40lb pack presently. I am just jittery about the book in general because I really want to read it

Thanks for your response Razor

If you aren't running, you aren't ruckin'.

I got my copy yesterday and read it last night. I am going to go back through now and complete the checklists, as well as possibly buying some of the supplementary reading that is recommended. It is exactly what I hoped it would be, and is written in clear, concise language. I highly recommend it.

The Chao troops roared with laughter and taunted him: "The General of Han does not know how to use troops!." Han Hsin then proceeded to defeat the Chao army.

I'm sitting on my hands here. I ordered the book a little over a week ago and its still a no show.  "Patience is a virtue." I'll just keep on a-waitin'. Meantime, I'll keep spending quality time with the big green tick.

Because the books are shipped media mail, the normal delivery time is 7-10 days.
If you order on a Friday night, it can be a little longer (SOWF is closed Saturday and Sunday).
After a week waiting, call the Warrior Foundation to confirm they got your order and when they shipped it. Ask Dow or Sonny.
Best,
JM

Warrior-Mentor,
Sounds like you need to put your book on tape or cd so the guys can study while rucking.
I'm not trying to make a funny either.

I like that idea. For the mean time I've been listening to some spanish and german tapes trying to get my language skills back on par.
