Nice name...
In my day we weren't so politically correct, it was "the fat cats club!"
Yep, I was one!

too funny.. when I was deployed in 2003 (as a reservist), I got to NAS Sigonella and was not in the best of shape. I had to PT 2-3 hrs every day, which I actually enjoyed, lost 30 lbs. I got my smallpox vaccine (I was a biowarfare guy), one of the side effects is swelling on the arm (edema). I felt a hard bump below my arm, went to my unit's doctor thinking my smallpox vaccination site was swelling. He cracked up laughing and said "Martiney, thats not edema but a MUSCLE you have not seen in 20 years". Alas, my fleeting friend is gone again, oh well!
