Burpees: Partners alternate reps
Bear crawl: 1 partner forward, 1 backward (swap at fatigue)

Buckets of sprints

Leave a comment

4 attended today’s Ballroom. We headed to the football field at Pleasant Knoll. At end end zone was a bucket o HIIT-ish instructions for running such as:

Run to 30 (yard line) and sprint back
Run to 50 and walk to 100
Run to 100 (yards)

Etc

Each pax pulled a slip of pain from the bucket and we all did as instructed.

We ended up with 2.2 miles.

Back at the flag we did a few @airborne hip pain stretches.

All enjoyed and look forward to my next Q at ballroom.

Prayers for Christmas traveling: Boogie to Manhattan 🗽, Tater to Flo-rida 🐊 Harry C to Wisconsin 🧀 , me to Chuck-town.

Announcements, then Prayers and praises.

Private First Class(PFC) Jason “JJ” Hill Estopinal
Raised in Dallas Georgia, Graduated HS in 2007.  Joined the Marine Corps in Jan 2009.   Was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines Golf Company as an infantry rifleman and was deployed to Afghanistan by October 2009.   In Afghanistan he served in Golf Co 3rd platoon, 4th squad and was the squads radio operator. Carrying the radio meant more weight, more work,  and more knowledge of how the system operated.   It wasn’t an easy job, and he did every bit of it with pride and dedication.   Constantly trying to improve and learn as much as he could.   We called him “Ears” because of his obvious massive ears but also because he was the squads “Ears”.   He was a quiet, shy guy but humble and very hard working and always had an ear to ear smile.  
February 15th 2010 we started a large scale house clearing mission that was going to take a few days, but half way through the first day, he would step on and IED and was killed.   He served for just over a year before he was killed.  (he was 21).

Milk Was a Bad Choice

Leave a comment

It was a cold and dark morning, but the HIM were there bright and early ready for a nice warm glass of pain.

The Thang:

Rucked over to the Huber Graham Way for some 7’s with Hill Repeats
– 6 Squats at the top of the hill and 1 lunge at the bottom of the hill

 Rucked back over to the school for some more pain. We formed two lines for Indian Bear Crawl between the light posts.

 Rucked back towards COT for some tree huggers with overheard ruck carries.

 Back to COT for prayers and praises.

Held plank and asked PAX to remove left hand. Held for the Qs 10 count, back to normal plank and performed ParkerPertersx10inCadence.

Thang #5 – Partner up, Partner #1 performs 10 pullups ( max ) and then hangs until Partner #2 completes 20 Step-Ups on the picnic tables. Go back and forth until the team reaches an accumulative rep count of 200 step-ups. Lots of complaining at this point.
