Introduction
Look back at your Memorial Day. Feel like you left something undone? Come do the work.
Wear a vest.

Warm-O-Rama
0455 Hrs- Blinky came back from running his EC 9 miles. Bronco EC rucked with Laimbeer. Aladdin came in hot. Everyone showed up in a vest.
Loosen up OYO as I explained the 1 mile route (from the DT lot to the covered bridge). At the bridge, do the exercises as listed (no splitting up movements). 100 pullups then 200 push ups, then 300 squats. End with the same 1 mile route back to the lot.
The Thang
The Murph.
Came back to the lot at 0555 and completed 3 sets of partner drags (about 20 feet).
Circle of Trust
It’s The Murph. With a vest. You know it’s going to suck. Dudes got up and did it anyway.
With the War on Terror “over”, The Murph is a great way to make sure we don’t forget the men and women who served over there. Murphy, Axelson, and Dietz were the initial 3 killed. 16 more men were killed in the rescue effort. Luttrell survived, but carries a weight with him.
The Murph sucks. It humbles you. It should suck. It should humble you.
I read recently that 7,000 troops died in the War on Terror. 30,000 troops who served in it have taken their lives.
Closed in a prayer.
Naked Man Moleskin
Always a lot of talk on Slack about taking the red pill or doing the hard thing. I’m from the @@ school of no call outs. Show up if you want, don’t if you’re not feeling it. It’s all good.
Blinky, Bronco, and Aladdin opted in today. Something good to be said for the small group workouts.
Aladdin brought the tunes. Kind of. He kicked on some Jocko remix thing. Weird. Fitting, but…different. Blinky loved the partner drags at the end. Apparently he needs tighter shorts, because he kept complaining about grass in his crack. Bronco looked like The Terminator in his vest, then gutted through the runs.
Well done men.
