The black pearl docks at MASH

The black pearl has emerged this week at MASH. Early in the gloom YHC arrived to two pair of ruckers rounding the parking lot. As the time neared the pax showed in a much larger number than anticipated. Little did they know what lie ahead. Troubled waters wait for the unprepared. When the clock struck 5:30 YHC revealed that this was a black pearl workout, designed to be difficult and push the pax but also be fun and allow for chatter. On that note we began.

Moleskin:

YHC had a great time this morning trying to help accelerate the PAX in the 1st F. This is the purpose of the black pearl. The pearl was established to break the status quo and push the pax to be better and to hold each other accountable to not become complacent and just show up at their “normal workout”. But instead help to push pax out of the comfort zone to allow for growth. Be on the look out you never know where the Black Pearl will make port next. Ye Be Warned!

 

Ma Bell Out!
