Winston Churchill: “Success is all about going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
I shared one of my favorite quotes with the guys. I love it so much it might not be the first time using it as my CoT.
Today some of us “failed”, thats ok. Don’t lose your enthusiasm and try again. IMO it’s a “universal” life quote. In how many areas could this attitude be helpful? Failure is our friend, DFQ!
Final Prayers lifted up

I wasn’t kidding when I told the guys we would do our best to get “gassed” before the PT test. What was even cooler was the fact that I was the first one to arrive because I’m usually the last. When 0515 hit so we did but the ground with burpees. I think they got the message real quick. BUT WAIT, it get’s better! When I said we’d be in the sand they about sh*t their pants LOL. I felt bad for Snowden’s new kicks but he was cool about it. Judge complained about wearing his watch and I apologized. GTE30 doesn’t allow electronics so he’ll be fine. Just when you thought their facial expressions couldn’t get worse I announced the Crab Walks with rucks and BOOM whaaah whaaahhh. I told them I want to see that same energy with the Cadre come GTE30. I’d start embracing the suck getting mentally ready. Like 75Hard it’s not physical, it’s all mental. Conditions were about as sucky as possible. Nant City of course and 1,000% humidity. It’s fair to say we all looked like Sparkler after a workout. What a fun morning getting better with my brothers. Major props to Title IX registering for the event before posting that morning. Shout out to Squeaky Clean for willing to try something different. My boy Wiki Wiki looking SOLID. CC, we’re definitely stronger with you. Judge, one of my idols and Snowden’s crazy taking those couple mile’s SOUL!!! It’s ALWAYS A RACE…
Aladdin signing off…
See you @ the TOP!
