'Semper Fit' for the Wired Marine

My Marine Corps -- actually the Marine Reserve -- has a <a href=https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=997245f5c8f8fdc14e0e6c14cba2215c&tab=core&_cview=1>procurement</a> on the street that boggled my mind.

My Marine Corps -- actually the Marine Reserve -- has a procurement on the street that boggled my mind. It's for an online physical fitness program that will include drag and drop functions and a variety of templates to make sure Marine reservists stay truly Semper Fit.

I know I sound like an Old Corps crank, but the only thing I dragged around in my time in the Marines was a tired and aching body.

I also notice the online program does not include any exercises favored by drill instructors of yore, such as holding gallon buckets filled with sand at arms length for an hour. Do that daily -- combined with a 10-mile run with a pack -- and I guarantee you'll be far fitter than pointing, clicking and dragging with a mouse.
