How to be a military girlfriend or boyfriend 
Have good communication. 
Communication is the key to success in any relationship, but is especially important in military relationships. Be open, honest, and understanding with your partner about all things good and bad in order to keep your connection strong, even when miles apart.

OPTIONS:
- Remember that especially during and around deployment, you'll have to step outside yourself, learn to think differently, be confident, and be clear when asking for help. This doesn't mean you're free to tell others about things right away.
- Unless you're in the military, your partner may occasionally request you tell them about things you'd rather not know. To be a good soldier you should avoid this.
- Before deployments and any other long separations, be sure to sit down with your partner and have a serious talk about both of your expectations, concerns, and feelings. It's crucial to be on the same page.
- Being a good partner means being honest about the things that's bothering you. This won't, however, mean valuing disagreements.

How to choose the best hula hoop (adult sized ) 
Measure your height from the floor to your belly button. 
This measurement will then help to determine the diameter of the hoop you should purchase. The hula hoop, when resting vertically on the ground, should reach somewhere between your waist and mid-chest.

OPTIONS:
- Example: if your height is 36 inches (76 "), then 118 inches (77 ") would be the minimum height. For kids, this would be 24 inches (76 ").
- This is your base diameter measurement and can be adjusted slightly depending on your size and experience level. For example, most adults will begin with a hula hoop between 40 and 44 inches in diameter.
- Find a hoop that you know you can balance on. This will improve the stability of the hoop and prevent you from accidentally dropping the ball while on it.
- Your waist should be about an eighth of an inch shorter than the hoop. You should also measure your waist from hips to ankles, and to knees with a ruler or measuring tape.

Boil untreated tap water for 1 minute to kill harmful microorganisms and make drinking safe. 
The safest drinks are those that have been boiled, such as coffee or tea. All microorganisms are killed in temps above 200 degrees.

OPTIONS:
- Investigate the types of water which contain these solutions--cool or cold tap water (ph 2.0), filtered water, bottled or conventional tap water. If the water is not sterile, this is considered safe.
- Never add ice to any drink, and don't use tap water to brush your teeth. Stick to bottled beverages, including soft drinks, bottled beer, wine and bottled water, but only if the containers have been brought to you unopened.
- Refrigerate everything you eat in an ice bath. Cold water soaks up microorganisms and dehydrates them.
- Give your body a " shock " or radiating blast of attack with water. Replace bottled, replenished water every time you can't even clean yourself.
