The question sounds bad, but hear me out. One of my family members wants to go to the military. Normally I'd be cool with that, but he's one of the guys who just wants to go because he thinks it will be like Call of Duty. He wants to enlist in the Marines or Army and become infantry which I told him isn't the smartest idea. He said the only reason he'd want to be an officer is so he could lead his troops into battle "Revolutionary War Style". He's also not physically prepared for it. I don't want him to join and get hurt (physically or emotionally). Is there any way I could convince him otherwise?

I've heard that an American can "join the SAS if they join the Airborne (Army Rangers) for 3 years" but the person who told me this isn't the most trustworthy or factual individual. Also, is the SAS really the deadliest most well equipped and best trained special forces unit in the world? Or does that title belong to an American Special Forces unit like Delta Force or SEAL Team 6?

I have the option of training with Crossfit or in a traditional gym. I'm hoping to get a body like Juba from Gladiator (Djimon Hounsou) and still be fit and strong unlike most people who just build "Show" muscle. I've luckily been blessed with good genetics so the muscle building is not a problem, I just wanted to know whether Crossfit would make me more lithe and strong rather than built and strong like I'm wanting.

My schools track season starts in February. As part of the JROTC program I'm in, we have the option of doing crossfit after school and I've been debating on whether on not I should go. My main concern is if it is good training for Track and Field. My main events are short distance sprints (100m, 200m), the long and triple jump and I'm hoping to high jump. I don't want to be doing the wrong type of training all winter so what do you guys think? Is it the right type of training or should I go with a different approach?

Im 16 and I'm only 5'5 which bothers me because I'm a male and guys are usually tall. I've been short most of my life and my dad is 5'7 while my mom is 5'5. My doctor told me I should hit a growth spurt around the time I turn 16 and should be about 6'0-6'4. What do you guys think? Will I hit a growth spurt or is the doctor lying? Also, my brother is an adult and is about 5'8 or 5'9.

Lately I've been interested in how Native Americans hunted with the primitive technology they had before the invasion of Europeans and was wondering if anyone here knew of specific techniques on how they hunted and/or stalked animals?

I'm in eighth grade. A month and a half ago I joined track without any prior sprint training. I would love to be in the Olympics for 100m dashes and its my dream. At 13 years old I got a time of 12.17 in the 100m. I think its okay, but what are your opinions? I also dont know how to use blocks and don't know good sprinting form since I haven't run track before but I'm going to special training this summer. Do you think I could make it to Rio 2016?

I also don't have much muscle in my legs, I'm carrying around a bit of extra weight, and have never ran track before. I'm going to special training this summer.

So for some reason, I like wrestling and fighting, and want to get in a fight. I don't go looking for them, but if someone came up to me and asked if I wanted to, I'd definitely say yes. Even people who I knew would whoop me, I'd fight. Is this weird or crazy?

I'm 13 years old. I used to have phimosis, so I didn't masturbate normally, but ejaculation felt just incredible. Now that I stretched the foreskin, sliding it up and down doesn't feel good at all. It's more of a chore to get to the end, and even now, orgasming doesnt feel that great. I've tried lube, water, taking breaks from it, everything. It just doesn't help. Please, someone tell me what to do? It'd nothing with being afraid of sexuality and exploring. It just doesn't do anything.

I'm 13 year old 5'9 male. Im hungry around every 2 hours, and its not a minor craving, its like a haven't eaten in 5 hours hungry. I've already had a growth spurt, but is it possible that I'm having another one,, and that's causing the constant cravings?

I'm 13 year old guy and have light black hairs on my upper lip, cheeks, chin, and I'm starting to get some on my neck. I told my dad I wanted my beard to come in already, and he said he wishes he never had to shave, and to be thankful that my face is always smooth.So i was wondering, does shaving really suck that much, or is it just him?

I read that candidates must be between 18-28, but I was wondering that of you make it, and actually become a SEAL, are you decommissioned after you turn 29?

I'm 13 and want to get taller, and heavier for football. I was wondering how much does diet, exercise, and sleep affect growth, or is it 99% genetics.
