We have some big things coming to this AO over the next couple of weeks. Multiple VQ’s lined up!!! 3 (Kahuna, Grisham and YHC) for EC ruck.
Just before 5:30 Slim Jim stated “its 530 lets get dirty. To be honest I did not have much of a plan at that moment yet when I heard Slim I knew exactly where to take it from there.
THE THANG

- B – 250 big boy sit ups while Partner army crawls to first tree and back (st this time someone pointed out “should have brought knee pads”)
- S – Varied (100-160) We had to cut it short on the squats due to time. While squatting each man made one trip down to the first tree and back doing the crab walk. We squatted until 6:15 and finished together!
Today was physically and mentally tough. Your mind can and will often get in the way. Doing things that are not pleasant and training the mind to handle those moments will have a positive impact. You also realize from a leadership standpoint that people will follow even when it sucks if they trust the leadership. Thanks to all these men who placed their trust in the Q to deliver!!
