Pre-Convergence Convergence

There were Ruckers and runners.

Barry Manilow led the runners for 5+ miles around The Fort.

The bootcampers were led first by Maximus with a SSH x Merkin combo x2 to warm up.
After a quick warm up, the weinke was
10 merkins, 10 mountain climbers (double count) at each of the 9 swings around the park. When done and waiting on the 6 to fill in, hold an Al Gore. To wrap up, starting at the bottom of the grassy hill from the parking lot, flutter kicks, then burpees at the top of the hill.

Cake Boss took second shift with playtime at the playground.
Partnering up, one partner does squats, while the other runs around the playground. Then flapjack. Next was pull ups/merkins following the same format. To wrap up, keeping the same partner, one bear crawled across the field and run back, while the other did flutters. Flap jack until 3 rounds were done.

Fogerty took us home with some 11’s and hill repeats.
At the bottom of the hill with the statue, started with 10 merkins and bombjacks. Half way up the hill, 5 burpees, then 1 squat and big boy sit-up. No burpee on the way back down the hill. Repeat until 11’s are done cutting out the burpees when you hit 5 & 6.

This was a fun 60 min bootcamp.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Clave Boss & convergence in 12/23. Happy Birthday Walker. Tallawah is officially closed for good.

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).
