Goodness, does that phrase ever bring back memories of marching band. There's nothing like waking up at 5AM so you can get to a parade 2 hours too early and then, after goofing around for 2 hours, suddenly having to run into formation while strapping on a drum at the same time, only to stand in place for another 20 minutes. (At some point, the bass drum gets put back on the ground, which means that the "hurry up" process must be repeated multiple times until the parade actually moves.) It must be the ROTC heritage of the band. By the time the parade actually starts, my shaving job is probably no longer up to inspection standards!
I'm afraid I can't help with the tuna recipes. I make a point of not eating anything healthier than ground beef, bacon, and Swiss Cake Rolls. Work/exercise and metabolism have kept my waistline in great shape, but my teeth are another story.
Pete does bring up a good point though. To get in shape for training, your aerobic fitness will be very important. Dietary changes may also be necessary, but if you aren't a big exercise buff this would be the time to change that dramatically.
