Introduction

I was pretty excited to lead my first Ruck Q and I knew I wanted to take a path that was less traveled.  I walked the route once with my 2.0’s during the day, but I knew I also needed to see what in looked like ITG.  Last Monday, I did a EC Ruck with a few PAX to see what the route looked like in the pitch dark.

I showed gratitude to the PAX for always having my back and their prayers over the last 18 months for “Big Mike”.

Dr. Ralph ended in a prayer.

Naked Man Moleskin

Someone who takes ‘the road less traveled’ is a person who acts freely, freeing themselves of conforming. They get to make their own choices, and create a new trail that will be used by many. Today we did not act independently, we functioned as a team. You and your partner were trailblazers, but you did so while working together.

Each and every morning we take this path that is less traveled, there are a lot of shit birds still laying in bed. They keep wondering why their life is not any better, day after day. We do not do that: we push, we challenge, and we overcome obstacles on a daily basis. We do all of these as a team, as a community of men.  Fib brought F3 to Naperville, but we make the Complex what it is with our collective efforts.
