Maine man sheds 140 pounds to join the Marines

A man who shed 140 pounds to join the Marines is headed to Parris Island, S.C., to begin boot camp. Topping out at 330 pounds, Ulysses Milana was rejected by Army and Navy recruiters. But Marine recruiters worked with him as he lost about 20 pounds a month

It wasn't easy, Milana said, but he managed to slim down through exercise, healthier eating habits and giving up the occasional beer after work. He said he was even able to forgo a beer at his going-away party Saturday night.

Ha! you wanna see mostly French in Maine, visit Frenchville on the Northern border. It's named so for a reason. I think they think they live in Quebec instead of the USA. :laugh2:

I asked Mr. P a question. Since you have NEVER answered a single question I have EVER posed to you, I find it highly unlikely that you would have the answer to a question posed to someone else.
