We’re now at too many pull ups and 155 merkins, for those keeping score at home.

LBC’s and Freddy’s in cadence until the 6 finishes and hand off to Weezer

Circled the islands of the parking lot around COT – pax could choose transport between bear crawls, crab walks and lunges. Once returned, 20 d/c gas pumpers I/C. Circle again with karaoke or side shuffle and do big boy sit-ups I/C. One more circle either jogging or nurring and upon returning a hand off to YHC

Mosey back toward pull up bars but passing them to the hill for 7’s – krakens at the bottom and squats at the top. PAX completed most of them before 0600 summoned us to COT

WARMUP:
3D started us off with a nice warm up for a cool day. YHC missed some of it, but there were windmills and Moroccan night clubs.

Harry Carey and Splinter were doing Iron Pax
THE THANG:
38 brought us down the hill behind the pull-up bars where we did the dragon walk (look it up). Starting at the bottom and stopping at each tree for 10 BBSU, then continue to the 4th tree (that’s 3 sets of big boys). Nur back down and one more day set.
Cubbie instructed us to grab a Cindy each and we lined up in the street facing the school. 15 reps of the following with a full karaoke up the road, and mosey back between sets
1. Arm curls
2. Tricep extensions
3. Chest press
4. Forearm curls
Then a quick relay with the Cindy to determine who would win the prize of not doing 10 kraken burpees while the winners put away everyone’s blocks

MARY:
3D taking the reins once again to lead us through hip flexor madness
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 Q tomorrow at the Fort with a shovel flag handoff
COT: Prayers and openness

8.14.23 at The Badger

Leave a comment

In the gloomy morning of August 14, 2023, 10 PAX descended upon the Honey Badger to put in work.

Started off with a timed 2-mile run. Finished that up, did some Mary in waiting for the six.

Headed over to the pull up bars for the main event.

Bradley

On January 3, 2010, while on a dismounted area reconnaissance patrol in the vicinity of Badvan village, his 13-man platoon-sized element was attacked by indirect mortar fire and an improvised explosive device. The initial attack threw an Airman and a Soldier into an adjacent creek, critically wounding the Airman and mortally wounding the Soldier. A second Soldier was mortally wounded and thrown 200 meters across the village by the blast. Airman Smith, without regard to his own safety, immediately rushed from his covered position, and into the waist-high water of the creek to save his fellow Airman and recover the killed Soldier. After moving the victims of the improvised explosive device attack to the Casualty Collection Point, Airman Smith volunteered to retrieve the soldier thrown across the village. Determined to never leave a comrade behind, Airman Smith proceeded at extreme risk, and without regard to his personal safety, along the eastern edge of the village to the Soldier’s remains. Airman Smith retrieved the fallen Soldier and began maneuvering back through the village toward the extraction site. Airman Smith waded back through the waist-high creek and proceeded toward the Casualty Collection Point. Upon arrival, a second Improvised Explosive Device detonated, killing Airman Smith and the platoon medic instantly.

100 meter Sprint
10 Pull-Ups
