What are your hobbies outside BJJ. I personally have gone back and forth throughout my life with 2 main hobbies. Hunting and Rock Crawling offroad. I go through cycles with each. I am currently in a hunting cycle, and have been honing my craft at hunting over the last 5 years or so. I am finally getting better at hunting and have enjoyed some success over the last few years, and put some great high quality meat in the freezer.

A couple years ago I picked up a guitar, just to see if I liked it, and true to form, became obsessed and now play rhythm in a band which rehearses weekly (my first gig will be in a couple months).

I collect Dr Marten and Solovair Boots. I enjoy polishing them as a form of relaxation.

You can take the man out of the military, but you can't take the military out of the man. Lol

So true! It's funny cause when I was in Sunday night was boot polishing night religiously. Lol

My step son is in the navy I had to show him how to do it old school, now these kids spray shit on there boots. Hahaha.

they don't look the same when you use that stuff. good old wax polish, cold water and elbow grease gets that spit shine every time

I had the High pole climbing boots. They looked like a mirror

When I was at Lajes Field in the Azores, I was there to test a MILSTAR Satellite Communications System. When I wasn't testing the equipment with the Raytheon folks I would work at the Cable Dawg shop as an augmentee. They issued me pole climbing boots there. They were way better than the regular combat boots. Even the AAFES Military Clothing Sales didn't carry better boots. I loved being assigned to that shop even if just as a helper. They issued me all kinds of cool gear to use.

No doubt, the gear i used to get was crazy. Remember the mukaluks
