    Benning is not only a Basic Combat Training station, but it's also the Infantry School, which means it serves primarily as the United States Army Infantry School and One Station Unit Training Center. All such types of posts that are related to combat arms (Infantry, Artillary, etc) only train male recruits.

    Or, what?

    My country can falsely accuse your country of doing something crazy to the UN and then invade your country, starting a war which would quickly devolve into a quagmire, which would then result in a near civil war breaking out amongst the primary cultures of your country.

    Oh, also, which country are you from?

    metz i get those too
    they're called charlie horses
    and the best thing to do if you get one next time is immediately stand up and put all your weight on that leg
    it seems like the fucking worst idea but trust me
    if you do this, you won't have the excruciating pain for like 10 minutes and you won't have the dull aching pain all day the next day

    it's usually caused by dehydration, so i get them when i'm drunk sometimes, the results are hilarious as i stumble around in the dark hopping on one foot yelling "owwwww"

    Hey, I had that too.

    My friends were around at the time so they started kicking me in the leg, increasing the pain even further.

    My friends are dicks.

    I have to ask... what is this?


    Another alternative for solving leg cramps is to reach down and grab the toes on the offending leg, then pull back. Arch your foot while you do it. It always fixes the problem for me, at least.

    yeah you're basically stretching out the calf muscle, i.e., the cramp

    never heard it described the way you're describing it though

    most efficient way to beat down any cramp is to stretch through it, and preventing cramps just means upping potassium intake

  • BYToadyBYToady Registered User regular
    Sometimes I just cry and punch at the muscle.

    You know, you guys can just stand up straight. That usually solves most cramps.

    I mean, that is if the cramps are in the leg muscles.

  • Lost SalientLost Salient generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance Registered User regular
    That might be because I'm bad at describing things! But that makes sense. If only I didn't have an irrational but intense hatred of bananas, my calf muscles would be cramp-free.

    man how homophobic do you have to be to hate bananas

  • Rampant EntityRampant Entity Registered User
    I remember having a cramp so bad when I was a kid I wanted to go to a hospital.

    But my mom would have none of that, and told me to suck it up.

    Oh god, how I wanted to kill her in the most painful manner possible that day.

    Atleast make her feel the pain I felt.

    she gave birth to you

  • BYToadyBYToady Registered User regular
    Pfft, you say that like I didn't already say that standing up fixes that.

    It isn't like I'm going to be thinking very rationally when I go from asleep to blinding pain in no time flat. Standing up doesn't even occur to me sometimes.

    But I love the gays! And I'm more than fond of most parts of male anatomy!

    It is the rotten-meat texture and awful taste of bananas that offends me. It is what I imagine giving a zombie a blowjob would be like, and I don't want to do that.

    I tend to stand for long periods of time at work, so sometimes my calves hurt like fuck-all afterwards.

    My left achilles' tendon gets very tight when I run but I'm getting new sneakers tonight so that should help. My current sneakers are complete shit.


    Also, Javen you should come maple sugaring with us tomorrow.

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    I could probably maybe do that, yeah

    though I have no idea what maple sugaring entails, aside from the obvious
