COT: Gratitude for this community, those who inhabit it and all we can influence well through our words and deeds.

Our credo is to leave no man behind and leave no man where we found him. Apply the same principle to our community by getting involved and not doing life alone. A HIM influences by word AND deed. Thankful for the men who ensure YHC has better alignment of word and deed because of F3.

Thanks for the call, Bass-o-Matic. :eye:

Big 5-0

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.
