I tried holding my breath and was a bit dismayed that I couldn’t hold it longer (a little over a minute). I think that being able to hold your breath could be like a survival skill in certain situations.
So, I was just wondering what’s average for being able to hold your breath?

CO2 levels HAD to have been higher than they are now. It’s just common sense. Think about the era of the king lizards–the dinosaurs. During that era, the temperature was generally warmer, but guess what happened? Instead of mass extinctions and deserts planetwide, there was a flourishing of creatures not seen before or since. And then, at the end of the Cretaceous, CO2 levels had to have skyrocketed with the asteroid impact, which would have triggered volcanic eruptions–which would pour the gas into the atmosphere. It was during this period that mammals–pre-pre-humans, came into the fore. So, heh, I gues you would say that to say GW is bad would be to put a blot on our own birth, so to speak. This isn’t scientific, it’s speculation, but to me at least, it makes sense.
Toponga: Thank you for your report…I appreciate it. Now, as for the CO2, I didn’t know quite so many factors influenced global temp and climate–and apparently, neither do a lot of the alarmists I talk to, seeing as how all they do is harp about the CO2…and that’s also really the only one we can do much about to change…as far as I know, no one has developed terraforming or true total weather control–and water vapor is essential for life, so we’d better not mess with that…
Eash: you don’t make any sense. The Ice Age occurred AFTER the dinosaurs went extinct, not before…

Right now I’m 16 years old, but I already graduated high school. The minute I turn 17, I plan on joining the service. I’m not sure which branch to join or which MOS so I’ll give you a little details and you can give me your opinions.
- I have no desire for money (I don’t even care if I get paid, as long as I can make a living). I also don’t care about living conditions, benefits, etc.
- I plan on making a career out of the service.
- I don’t have a family to support so I don’t mind being away for very long periods of time.
- I’m generally physically fit (I have 5-6 months to get even more fit), but I’m a little unsure of my swimming abilities. I can swim, but I never timed myself and I cannot time myself or practice now because I don’t have access to a pool.
- I need adventure (I will not do an office job) and I love being outdoors. I also have a large interest in wilderness survival along with some intermediate skills. I also love climbing / caving, canoeing / kayaking / rafting, hiking / backpacking, etc.
-I’m very flexible and generally smart. I’m not good with mechanics, electronics, automotive, or shop information; but I’m pretty good with everything else.
- Call my suicidal, but I really don’t care if I live or die. Now I don’t WANT to die, but my personal opinion of the matter is “if I’m dead, I won’t care, because I’ll be dead.”
I’m not all too interested in the Coast Guard because of the lack of adventure. Being a rescue swimmer would be cool, but if I didn’t make it, I would be stuck with a less adventurous job.
The Navy has two jobs that interest me: the Navy Seals and being a Navy Diver. As I said before, I’m unsure of my swimming abilities.
The Air Force has several jobs, but most of them require you to be half-decent in swimming. I’m not sure of my swimming abilities. They also have a program called SERE which I could physically do, but there are only several hundred SERE specialists and that worries me because if I don’t make it, I may be stuck with a job that I may despise.
The Marines have one job that interests me and that’s infantry (along with Force Recon) but I heard that it’s not a good idea to try to make a career out of Marine infantry. If I was infantry, I would want to advance, but I read / heard that it’s harder to get into schools (airborne, Ranger, etc.) in the Marines because of lack of space.
I’m a little worried about the Army because the Army’s infantry and Special Forces requires a CO (combat operator) score of 90 and 98 respectively. A CO requires auto and shop knowledge which I don’t have.
What’s your opinion on what I should do? Ask if you have ANY questions.
Thanks.
Cav. Scout requires a CO score of 90 (same as infantry). I’m a little worried about not making it because I’m not really good in auto and shop.
