Run to court – find wall:

• Run 15 yds
• Hold SB over head 30 second count (crowd pleaser)

• Run to stairs; find a partner, wheel barrow up the stairs, merkin at each step. (Flapjack)
• Rinse/Repeat X3

Done.

Moleskin:

• Lots of mumblechatter, YHC thought the PAX were about to revolt, but using the element of surprise and diversionary devices (sandbags) kept the group moving forward. #NoExfil
• Great morning in the gloom, misty, foggy and muddy….character building
• All PAX, despite some pre-labor moaning noises, rose up and performed exceptionally.
• Heisman showed the commitment and the drive of the entire group by crushing the wheel barrow merkin stair climb!….something about marines sux…ha!
• ….ran out of time, bear crawls were next in the stack.

• 5/2 Year Anniversary Rock Hill
• 4/18 and 4/25 The Reservation is supporting the Gastonia Launch
• Gladiator Games (sorry I missed the dates)
• C-SPAN thanks for taking us out!

With this morning’s effort, you made the Q easy….Thanks for the opportunity men!

Semper Fi
