After reading posts on F%^&book over the past couple of weeks by old Marine Corps buddy’s and friends from other branches I noticed a lot were posting about a 22 pushup challenge. People are taking this month long challenge to do 22 pushups everyday for a month to make others aware of the number of Vets that take their own lives everyday. So I felt that if I could bring awareness to the handful of guys that came out to my Q this morning maybe 1 of them at some moment during their interaction with others might make a difference to a Vet that might be having a bad day. It could be as simple as a handshake and a thanks to them or hooking them up with a coffee.

The beat down went like this

Circle up for disclaimer. (Not as well spoken as many are able to do)

Mosey to sidewalk and bear crawl about 50 yards hop up mosey about 50 yards and crab walk another 50. We than moseyed to the flagpole and played Old Glory respect with the Pledge of Allegiance fitting we came across the flag with what the Q had on his mind this morning.

Circled up for warm ups ( the bear crawls were not enough).

22 SSH’s, 22 Mtn. Climbers, 22 Low Squats, 22 grave diggers

mosey about 1/4 mile to rock pile. Pick rock of your choice and do the following sequence curls, military press, flutter kicks, skull crushers, chest press. You guessed it 22 reps on each.

Mosey to basketball court and partner up.

Partner 1- bear crawl to light run backwards to partner who on first set did Mtn. Climbers and on second round did CDD. Once partner finished we planked for 6 than moseyed to playground

here we did 3 sets of 10 pull ups followed by 22 swing crunches.

Mosey back to BB court and find a place on a bench.

Their was no time to sit even though I think the pax wanted to. We knocked out 22 dips and 22 derkins.

After Q said go to COT. While in COT Q  talked to PAX about the significance of the number 22. We also had to knock out 55 Burpees during the workout for the difference between 100 and the amount of snacks brought for the CAH.

It is always an honor to lead such a great group of HIM.
