SPECIAL THANKS to Seal Team 6 for a job well done. I only wish that his death could have been much slower and painful. The thousands that he murdered and the many more he left behind suffered. He should have too.

Can a Model Handle FDNY Training?
These FDNY guys have all the fun! This is from Woman v. Workout Ep. 3 and titled "Can a Model Handle FDNY Training?".
