Last weekend I spent 4 days in Wichita for their “Disruptor 002” rucking event. We themed the weekend around “The Patriot” and how unchecked anger is dangerous.

It was clear that we often allow anger to spill out over something small but the real issue is something much deeper. The root of anger is often pain we haven’t healed or fear we haven’t faced. The trigger isn’t always the problem; sometimes it’s just the tipping point.

Next time you react with anger, dig deeper for the reason you lashed out and address that issue. If not, you will continue to hurt the ones you love.

Poles of Death

Leave a comment

The Thang: Mosey to the light poles at the back of the school. Out one, 10 merkins, back to start 10 lunges (each leg). Out two poles 5 burpees, back to start, 10 squats. Out 3 poles, 10 merkins, etc. Repeat until time getting progressively further down the path. Return to COT. If that wasn't clear, you're in good company. A few of us didn't understand at first either… but we eventually all figured it out and got about 4 in.

COT: Prayers for IJ’s friend, Spectre’s wife, Olaf's pizza airplane, and all the rest.

Dojo was a no go so he handed the Q stick to me. Tired from two previous Qs this week, the plan was limited running and more strength training.
Quick warm-up then we headed to The Wall for 3 rounds Erkins, dips, and step ups. Next, we ran past the stinky dumpster to the back wall of HT. Wall sits bear crawl out merkins crawl bear back. Crab walk, LBCs, crab walk back.
Next we traveled to CVS for a four corner relay. Each member ran around the building 5, 10, 15 and 20
Merkins at each corner. Next person moved when pax ahead complete corner #1. Second round squats same count.
Back to COT.

FORTeen Years

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 14 Burpees
THE THANG: Mosey to center of WEP

Pax rotated into center based on year of 1st post (ie Class of 2026, 2025, 2024, etc). Varied exercises were performed by all including Burpees, Partner Derkins, Squats, Sumo Squats, SSH, Mtn Climbers, Mahktar N'Dyiae, Flutters, Freddys, Monkey Humpers, etc

Pax sprinted home for the finish.

MARY: She participated during the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Shelters service

COT: Yes, of course, 5th Core Principle

The pax came early and stayed late to celebrate this Community of Brothers we call The Fort. For 14 years, men have posted in the Gloom of WEP and other wonderful sites throughout FM/TC (and in Rock Hill, Clover/LKW and now Chester) to sharpen each other, to hone leadership skills, and to prepare themselves and each other to tackle the ups and downs Life will regularly throw their way.

The number of men who've stood at COT in The Fort over these years exceeds 2,000. And roughly 200 pax keep the flame burning in 2026. Their continued participation is an individual choice, one they can't not keep making because, as they shared, they've found brotherhood, community, belonging and accountability in The Fort.

Who will be standing in COT in 2036 or 2046? Anybody? Nobody? You? Your son or son-in-law or grandson?

As Band Camp shared, we Get To make this choice. Each man stands apart from the general crowd in our culture in making this choice. And yet, each man of The Fort is no better than any other man who lives among us. All men are made of the same fiber in the same image of our Creator. As Dark Helmet said, every man is needed in the leadership mission required to bring to fruition the world our Creator intended. So stay in the game. Find the next man and bring him into the fold. Because 14 years of history only matters if we continue to bring Impact to men and our broader community today, tomorrow, next week and next year. #KeepPosting
