    The real question is, did you get it fit over your carry gun?

    I was wearing my Beretta M9 while getting fitted for it ergo it should work with Glocks 19,34 and my 1911. (Basically all the guns I may want to carry which I shoot regularly). If you ask me, I am leaning towards my 92 Brig Tac being my suit gun.


    As far as the weight, I can only move forward with that and I am confident I won't go back to my old habits ever again*. Especially now. I may not know everything about my future job, but I clearly see how fitness and command presence are tied together.

    *Even on my worst day when maybe I skipped out on exercise or I am stressed too much, I will not revert to eating any foods in the "forbidden" category. I killed my cravings and temptations dead on the spot early in this diet.

    Didn't go as planned the first time.

    Trying again at same place for this upcoming month and will apply at other places. I now have a better concrete understanding about these things and I am better off for it.

    Also, as of now I've lost approximately 80 lbs. Weighed in at 201.6 yesterday morning.

    Amen! I was EXTREMELY lucky when I switched from active .mil to LE, but the key to success is persistence and patience. Keep the faith, your job is waiting for you somewhere.

    Oh, and Holy Cow, brother, am I proud of you on that weight loss! Great work!
