I was wondering if there are alternatives to charring animal bones for making WCAP. I suppose I could do it, but I'd really prefer to not use an animal based source for water soluble calcium phosphate. If anyone has success with another method let me know. Thanks!

Good afternoon.
I understand the qualifications for the Army Pro team (marathon), but are there any lower standards to catch the attention of the WCAP coach to be able to train? I'm at 239 in the marathon right now (1:14/1:15 in the HM/13.1) with potential to be into the high 220s by next year with another year of training. I am a current enlisted male soldier.
Thank you for your time. SPC RunningOnHooah
Hey!
Been avidly interested and practising KNF for 3 years now for personal enjoyment and interest. It opened me up to a whole new understanding of plants relationship to the soil.
I made a fresh batch of water soluble Cal Phos from organic, grass grazed beef bones. My question today is about the cooking method for bones. All bones had some sinu and lots of marrow, some were also with knuckles from joints, I had about 20 lbs. I charred these in a new way, in the same fashion as BioChar, placed in a air tight metal container and added to the bottom of a really hot fire, which burned all night. EDIT: metal cooking vessel - not air tight, had a lid, which allowed pressure to escape.
After reading a bit more about it, and noticing the Hawaiian Manual says low heat specifically. I am wondering if anyone knows if I am I loosing out on any of the potential. The bone turned out completely black hard and light, which is described as required for the vinegar extraction. But with the high heat, what would have I done to the chemistry of the calcium and phosphorous? Will my finished product be as effective? Or should I be sure to only char bones at a low temp.. which is tough to do.
The World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) is an army program which allows servicemembers the opportunity to pursue their Olympic dreams full time. Their website (www.armywcap.com) has some good information, but I'm looking for annecdotal, private news network type ish. I know somebody knows somebody who knows something about the WCAP.
Questions:
-
For the winter sports, it seems most servicemembers, if not all, are Nasty Girls or Reserve. Is it because the Army does not look favorably upon active SMs pursuing this program?
-
The eligibility requirements indicate that a SM must be branch qualified (non-waiverable). For an officer, that means Captains Career Course and Command complete. I really hate when the Army says something is "non-waivereable" because everything is waiverable. I mean, it may take Barry O to intervene, but c'mon, it's waiverable. Anyway, there is a NG 2LT on the damn skeleton team, so either the requirement is waiverable, or Reservists have a different definition of "branch qualified" than AD. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!
I appreciate any help!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
