This week has brought a lot of emotions out of not only myself but most of America. We elected a new President. Some were ecstatic and some were mad. No matter the outcome if you were for it or against it, it showed that we as men of our communities, our state, our Country have a lot of work to do. We have men in this County that need to be reminded of the sacrifice that was given to them by many great men who were willing to sign up and defend our rights. The right to elect a President, the right to protest if the outcome wasn’t to your liking. We have these rights because of Veterans.

Veterans Day brings memories to my head of the great times I had not only growing up a military brat, getting moved from base to base, from the west coast to the east coast. It really reminds me of the awesome men I got to travel the world with, train with, and to have a bond with that can never be broken. Some refer to the United States Marine Corps as the largest fraternity in the world. I think there right. If was proven when Cspan asked if I would like to share his Q on this Veterans day. Also the day after our 241st birthday. The day started with 23 guys all wanting to get better and show some love to those who defend us and our families.

CSpan started off with the disclaimer and set us up into two columns. We double timed it stopped periodically to do various exercises along the way. We learned that the marine Corps was born in 1775. We did 1 burpee for  the 1, 7 merkins for the 7, 7 squats for the other 7 and 5 more burpees for the 5.

We than double timed it to another spot and learned Cspan carried an M16 which fires a 5.56 round do 5 burpees and 56 lbc’s,

double time he also carried a 9mm pistol. 9 burpees.

double time he carried a machine gun that shot a 7.62 round. 7 merkins, 6 squats, 2 burpees.
