You should know what you are already eating and have some idea how to change. Being more active will help out immensely, and with changing your diet and cutting calories.

I notice that you say that you are going to your "next" duty station. I assume that you are already in? Where did you come up with 30%? I only ask because:
1. That is very very high
2. I can't imagine the marines allowing someone to get that high
Regardless, even if that is accurate, those cals are a bit low. Try for closer to 2k a day for a week or so and see what happens.First cycle log DOOM!http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/an...cycle-log.html

Diet and exercise should work fine. It's not rocket science.

Up the protein a little, and then just go off of comfort. Some people feel better with slightly higher or slightly lower carbs. I prefer to have more fat than that when I cut, but thats just for my own satiety. Definately more protein though. 1.5g per lb of bodyweight is a good indicator, or 1.5g per lb of LBM is fine too.
