I recently read a thread on a Facebook post about being a dad. The comments hit close to home.

“Them: How’s dad life treating ya?
Dads: It’s good. I’m doing alright.”

“Because we can’t sit around and complain and breakdown about it. We have to figure shit out and pull through it for the family.”

“Because we are supposed to be the pillar upon which the house stands. Pillars cannot afford to crack. Which is exactly what the Lord designed us for. We are not supposed to put it on our family’s. The Bible says that iron sharpeners iron. Therefore fathers sharpen fathers. There is a reason the Lord made men more aggressive and stronger built. As pillars, our foundation should be that the Lord is our strength.”

“Because good father’s have to. We have to create the solid foundation that stands strong no matter what. Everything in this world can fall apart, and does. Our families have to be able to rely on us through all of their problems. We have to steer the ship through the storm, even if the sails are torn and the hull is cracked. We are our own lone ship out in the vast unforgiving ocean, fighting the crashing waves and darkened storm skies.”

I think this commentary captures a lot of how we feel as dad‘s in today’s society. However, we are not a loan ship in the storm. As Olaf reminded us, we have a fleet for protection. Yes, we have quite the responsibility and the weight is heavy, but our brothers have shoulders to help us carry the load. Never give up fellas. Reach out when you need it.

Aye!

Full gear. Go.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Gathered with all the gear we could find in trunks and truck beds. First we did a quick mosey around the parking lot. Then the infamous 33×11 warmup, thanks to Cha-Ching.

YHC messed up at first by doing 33 SSH in cadence then followed by 11 burpees OYO.

The followed by OYO 33 SSH single count and 11 burpees.

Then rinse and repeat. All warmed up.
THE THANG: Partner up, ruck on, each grab a sandbag, each grab a KB and each team grab one more KB or extra sandbag to share. Head over to the soccer field swapping the 4th “item” halfway through the walk.

While on the soccer field with your partner, we dropped all our gear, with exception of ruck, on a line by one of the goals. We then ran to the other goal line. Instructions were to gather 1 piece of gear and drop it at the mid line and then go back to the starting line, drop and do 5 merkins. After you and partner get all the gear to the mid line, then you need to take each piece of gear 1×1 and get it to the starting point. After each gear, always 5 merkins at the start. And shuffling with ruck the whole time.

Now that all the gear is at the starting line, we need to bear crawl 2 pieces of gear each and individually, to the mid line wearing your ruck, then bear crawl back to get your second piece of gear.

Last was sandbags in 1 corner, KB in 1 corner, and the ruck exercises in another corner. At each of the 3 corners, exercises below were performed. After each exercise, come back to center for 5 man makers with ruck.
– 10 sandbag tosses over shoulder wearing ruck
– 20 ruck swings
– 30 KB squats wearing ruck

Gather up all gear and with your partner, back to COT.
MARY: couple exercises around the circle
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check
