Who doesn’t love a PT Test? I spent some time checking in with our boys down at GTE28 down in NW Arkansas, which inevitably leads to wanting to put on a ruck and do some PT. No rucks today, but we did take a run at the MARSOC Short Card. The PAX gathered, a brief disclaimer was given and off we went. YHC informed the PAX that there would be very little running yet we…

3This one took some mental fortitude. It was windy and raining sideways. At launch time of 0630 there were 2 PAX present. We could have stayed dry, stayed warm, and just gone straight to coffeeteria. Is that what HIM do? Nope. We do the harder thing. We become more durable. That’s exactly what we did.

018 weight slingers and 4 walkers set their sights on Cannonball for a glorious Tuesday morning. PAX were advised upon arrival to grab their bell and if they were looking for an opportunity to accelerate their King, they should also grab a cindy. While the walkers were getting in their laps here’s what we did: Warmarama: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers, Squats (low & slow). Main Event: 4 rounds ( 20/15/10/5 reps) Squats Clean &…
0We had 11 at the Deep including Chardonnay, Dovetail, Tweety, Crosshair, Peg, Ringo, Kick Flip, Royale, Silent Bob, Nemo, and myself (Captain Jack). Last week Quasi played 70s/80s rock and someone brought up the movie Entrapment (related to dive bombers). My best high school job was working at a movie theater in the 90s (when Entrapment was released). Thus, led to this 90s movie trivia Q. I also borrowed some weight timing from a recent…

3YHC is likely the only guy in the region that was raised by the WW II generation (expect a lot of the pax’s grandads were) so this was a very special day. I grew up listening to these guys tell about it (mostly pretty funny stories) and had an uncle that was the REAL DEAL when it came to war heros in my uncle Roy Fortner who led the 15th Air Force Mission over Berlin…
