Preparing to enter Navy Boot Camp takes serious dedication and hard work. Some people think that if they complete hand to hand combat training or martial arts training before they get to camp that they'll be fine. While this kind of training won't hurt you, it's probably not enough to prepare you for the rigors of Boot Camp. To get ready both physically and mentally, you need to know what to expect.Boot Camp for the United States Navy starts in Great Lakes, Illinois at Recruit Training Command (RTC). Lots of new recruits are nervous about going to Boot Camp. No doubt they've heard horror stories from past sailors about the trials of training to be a sailor. Others are very excited and eager to take on the challenge. Regardless of your outlook going in, it can be very helpful to know what kinds of challenges you will be facing during training.First of all, be prepared to wake up at 6:00 a.m. every day. If you don't get up that early now, it's time you started. You need to put your body on a strict schedule when it comes to getting sleep and waking up. You will need lots of rest for all of the physical conditioning exercises you will go through.Physical conditioning tests are part of the experience. You will test your abilities in several areas including running 1.5 miles, sit-ups, and push-ups. In additional to getting your body into shape, you will learn a lot at Boot Camp. Things like first-aid, signaling, seamanship, and weapon training are all a part of the experience. When it comes to weapons, you will learn basic safety and then move to the range to practice. As you progress through the eight-week long program, you will be changed. Training includes very rigorous physical conditioning, classroom and hand-on instruction, and a restricted diet. In the second half of the program, trainees will complete fire fighting and damage control training. Throughout the entire training program, you will learn teamwork and build camaraderie with your division.Eventually your division will be tested on everything you have learned at Boot Camp. And if you succeed you will be awarded the title of United States Sailor.Things to Take With You to Boot Camp-marriage certificate or divorce decree-birth certificates for your spouse and children, if you have any-prescription medicines-college transcripts-medical records-no more than $25.00-stamps-prescription eyeglasses or contacts-any court documents regarding child support or alimonyEntering the Navy can be very rewarding.

Many people choose to enter the Navy to help them earn money towards college, but it also looks great on your resume and can help you land a great job when your enlistment time is up.

I'm not a wine connoisseur. I don't even own a decanter. (Some of my married friends own several.) But I like wine, especially trying different kinds. There are tons of resources out there to help you learn about wine. But I don't have time to read them. So I learn by doing, or . . . by drinking.My only problem is knowing which bottle to pick. If you put me in a wine store with over a thousand bottles, I either need a sommelier or a psychiatrist. I usually start by studying the notes that hang by the bottles. The ones with names attached to them like Wine Spectator or Robert Parker or Bill, the stocker. I contemplate the pictures and colors of the label. I analyze the pricing structure and weigh costs and benefits. Then after an hour or so, when I'm completely frustrated, I make a completely arbitrary decision. So I've come to this conclusion. I need help. And, since my shrink has his limits, I need to find a wine store with people who can help me through the process of buying a good bottle.All wine stores are not created equal. Here are some of the factors to think about when choosing a wine store: 1) SelectionDon't be fooled. Having thousands of bottles is not the same as having a good selection. Many large liquor stores stockpile wine with labels that are heavily advertised and sold with the largest discount. You may walk into a store and think you've got thousands of choices, but all you really have is same bottles repeated over and over.What makes a good selection? Look for a store: (1) with a knowledgeable wine buyer and (2) with a variety of tastes, regions, and prices. A good selection will offer both wines that are familiar and unique. Why is selection important? Think of it as playing the odds. You're much better off choosing from a few hundred wines tasted by a knowledgeable buyer than from several thousand that were trucked en masse.2) StorageIf you walk into a store and start to sweat, turn around. Wine should not be stored at temperatures over 80 degrees, or it will lose its flavor. That's why wine is usually made and stored underground. Avoid large warehouses where the temperature may be hard to control. Seek out a wine store where the workers are happy wearing sweaters in the summer. It's likely that the wine will be well-cooled and happy too. 3) InformationA good wine store is a good source of information. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions and seek out staff recommendations. Many stores in Kansas City offer wine tastings, which are a great opportunity to try before you buy. 4) PriceOf course, wine prices vary widely, and I've never found one store that's consistently cheaper. Even the big discount shops are not always money savers. After you've found a store that you like based on the other three factors, you can save money by subscribing to that store's newsletters or joining its tasting club. Often, stores send out special deals and offerings to these customers first.A special fifth category is convenience. This matters especially when you're buying in bulk, or if you are looking for a quick pick-up on the way home from work. It's good to know where several good stores are in town, so that you'll know which one to hit whenever the feeling strikes.Here are my picks (in no particular order) for great wine stores in Kansas City:1.

In cold winter, how could we repel chill while still being cool in appearance? The answer is wool scarf. On winter fashion shows, models are frequently seen posing with a woolen or a cashmere scarf around their necks. Boomed by its popularity among fashion designers and celebrities, wool scarf has been enjoying growing liking from ordinary people. While walking on the street, it is cool to have a wool scarf wreathed around the neck. However, like other wool items, a wool scarf is difficult to preserve. Besides, a genuine wool scarf is usually high in price, so it will be a big loss if it is ruined for poor preservation. Then is there any secret in preserving it? Of course there is.Firstly, a wool scarf should be subject to dry-cleaning, or it will shrink and thus cause damage to its quality. Or if you wash it by yourself with water, don't twist or wriggle it. After cleaning it, wring out the water and put it on a clean towel to dry up in the room rather than expose to the sunlight. When it is already dried up, iron it gently to make it smooth.And the next secret lies in its storage. As genuine cashmere scarf is consisted of an animal protein fiber, it is prone to bristletails. Therefore, it should be properly stored in place where is dry, ventilated and free of such insects. In addition, instead of fold it up, we had better hang it up in our wardrobes so that its smoothness will be maintained. And lastly, don't put moth repellant together with a woolen or cashmere scarf because the direct touch of the two items will erode the latter.The last secret is about how to wear a wool scarf. Actually, the way you wear your wool scarf also has something to do with the preservation of it. For example, you should take care to avoid abrasion of your wool scarf against other hard items such as the back of a chair or the strap of your leather bag. Still, don't wear it for too long a time to prevent fiber fatigue of the wool scarf.After knowing these, you no longer need to hesitate over the purchase of a wool scarf because of difficulty in preservation. In the cold winter, with a cashmere scarf around your neck, you can be as cool as before while keeping chill away from you.
