The truth is that it’s tough to rejoin the military for two reasons: the size of your year group and your previous training (the job that you are skilled in may not be needed at your current time in service)....

There are so many types of bikes out there, it’s almost impossible not to find a motorcycle that’s right for you. That said, it’s easy—almost inevitable, in fact—to get pigeonholed into a stereotype when you commit to a specific make and model.

Although the most well-known Canadian pop/rock artists operated within the arena rock, hard rock and new wave territories of the decade’s spectrum, plenty more variety awaited listeners who kept a careful ear out for what was coming out of the Great White North....

The first time I tried The Clean Program it was fall of 2009. At 5'9, I weighed 162 1/2 pounds and I really, really wanted to weigh 150 pounds.
