Corporal Keaton Coffey

Splinter, Tug It (PAX from down range) and YHC honored Corporal Keaton Coffey at the Honey Badger.

Keaton lived in the town of Boring nihrough hie and attended Damascus Christian School from kindergarten through high school. After graduan: ing in 2007, he began taking classes at George Fox University but chose 10 enlist in the Marine Corps after two semesters. Keaton completed training for military police officers before reporting to Camp Pendleton, California and, in 2010, volunteered for a seven-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. Hewas then accepted into k9 School to become a Military Working Dog Handler, and deployed back to Afghanistan with Denny, a German shepherd, in December 2011.
Keaton was engaged to be married, his wedding date just weeks after he was due home. When his contract with the Marines was fulfilled, Keaton wanted to continue his education and become a firefighter, like his father. On May 24, 2012, Corporal Keaton Coffey, 22, was mortally wounded by enemy sniper fire while conducting combat operations in the Helmand province of Afghanistan. He is survived by his fiancée, Brittany Dygert; his parents, Grant and Inger; and his canine partner, Denny.
The Keaton Coffey Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to provide financial assistance to students enrolled at Damascus Christian School. To make a donation, please visit http://www.DCEF4You.org. The Hero Half, an annual half-marathon, was also founded to honor Keatons memory; proceeds from the race benefit his scholarship fund and a local chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America.

The Yard – 3 Aug 2024

WARMUP: We did.
THE THANG:

There was a lot of back and forth down the field and back with 6-inch holds and exercises and such. Threw in some burpees, and partner carries, and bear crawls. It’s all Julie Andrews and my favorite things… that’s for Band Camp…

Went up to the parking lot track and did some more exercises and loops on the track.

– JCruise took a dump on the 50-yard line and blamed it on the dog. Or maybe it was the other way around… I forget
– FunHouse died of dysentery on his way back across the expansive plains to his home, Oregon Trail style…
– Spider-Man changed into his (not present) shirt after the workout…
– Gears went sleeveless to show off his newly acquired Hawaiian tan…
– Maximus was glad we didn’t do 81 burpees to start our workout…
– Tapout (11) carried Headspin for 50 yards, thus reinforcing my statement about being grown f-ing men. But he promises to keep himself in check in front of his mom…
– Time Machine loves ducks. Like, it might be an unhealthy focus of his life…
– Drop Thrill knows how to keep a man humble…
– 3D (if you haven’t noticed) is accelerating whilst shedding his former self…
– Suplex agrees that we don’t use the word “whilst” nearly enough…
– Yoyo Ma was the War Daddy today. He won’t read this, so I can write whatever I want about him…
– Sprocket continues to fill out his rewards card. Just a few more punches and I think he gets one free workout. Or an ice cream cake or something like that…
– Ruby Slippers loved doing a 6-inch hold. I’ll just leave that there.

When truth pulls up next to you in its limo, rolls down the window and asks you if you have any Grey Poupon, you can pass it this report as a substitute.
no poop was actually created or discovered at the 50 or any other yard line.
no Poupon was actually created or discovered at the 50 either…

NMM
Find some time this weekend to give a little to someone else. We make time for things that matter to us, so give some of that time to someone you love. Maybe spend a few minutes listening to your wife about her week. Maybe find time to play that game your kids have been asking to play with you. Maybe help your neighbor in their yard. Whatever it is, just do it – not for the recognition, but because you care. I promise it will make your day a little brighter.

Aye!

WARMUP: Gave the usual intro and then we got after it.

THE THANG: We toured the longer Kingsley loop and the rucks stayed on the whole time. Starting from COT we had our first 10min ruck interval, 5min rucking followed by 5min of ruckshuffling.
Stopped by a group of benches for our first pain station.
25 – Step-Ups
25 – Alt. Lunges
25 – Incline Merkin w/ 2 shoulder touches at the top = 1 rep

Onto the next 10min ruck interval. This time we rucked for 4min. and then ruckshuffled for 6 min.
Stopped at the round-a-bout towards the back entrance for our next pain station.
150 total reps – Squats and Calf Raises (PAX chose how they wanted to split up the reps )
Then completed 1 lap via BearCrawl around the round-a-bout

Marched right into our next ruck interval – 3min ruck followed by 7min of ruckshuffling.

Ended up at the amphitheater area for our next pain station where there were plenty of more benches to utilize.
20 – ButttouchSquat followed by 2 alt lunges = 1 rep
