Introduction
PreBlast 6/2/2022 Two Wolves 0515!
Last minute change covering for Columbus. Let’s get a little bit of a 
ruck-club style beatdown in tomorrow. Bring your rucks and shoes for all terrain. It won’t be an “Out and Back”, but we will get some miles in with some PT along the way. Don’t have a ruck, bring a vest. Don’t have either? Let me know and I can lend you either a spare ruck (30lb and approx 20lb) or a vest (20lb and 12lb). Either way … just show up. Mumblechatter will be strongly encouraged for this one. I know Sir Mix-A-Lot will be stepping up to pick up my six… who else wants to start their Thursday off right?! SYITG!
This was my first time leading a ruck club, so I wanted to make sure I didn’t F it up. Also had an idea of honoring our brother Columbus’ step mom as she battles through her final days.
Got the flag planted, ruck on, circle up.
Disclaimer – check; 5 core principles – check; mission statement – check; credo – check! Let’s get warm.

Mary Anderson – that was the name spelled out by our exercises today. This is Columbus’ step mom’s name. Columbus was able to go spend some time paying his final respects. That partially contributed to why he couldn’t make it to this Q today. The 15 of us did this ruck club beatdown in honor of someone who we had never met before. Why? Because that doesn’t matter. It is fine to show kindness, empathy, heart, for those who we may not even know. As a matter of fact, the world would be a much better place if we all acted this way towards people on a regular basis. You never know what is going on in someone’s life. Be a bright spot. Be Kind. Show Empathy. And let’s continue to be there and pray for Columbus and his family during this rough time.
Naked Man Moleskin
Like all brothers in F3 do, we picked Columbus up today. I took this Q and not even a few seconds later Sir Mix-A-Lot offered to pick up the 6. Amazing how amazing this group of men are in F3 Naperville. Nothing else like it.
I had actually been thinking a month or so ago how I wish I could Q at Two Wolves a little more. With my SiteQ duties keeping me busy on Thursdays and LOP keeping me tied up Tuesdays… I had not gotten a chance to Q here as much as I would have liked. So in a way, this all worked out.
“Ruck Club” VQ today. Hope I did right by all the PAX today. It was a great morning for a ruck!
