Brutality is underrated.

THE MAN:
Marine Lance Corporal – Noah M. Pier
Marine Lance Cpl Noah M. Pier, 25, was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii as a machine gunner. He was killed Feb 16, 2010, when he stepped on an IED during operations in Afghanistan. Noah was the oldest of 10 children and had always dreamed of becoming a Marine. In March 1995, he and his family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where Noah was involved in the Police Explorers Program for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. He earned a black belt rank in the American Freestyle Martial Arts and fell in love with his childhood sweetheart, Rachel. In August 2007, Noah fulfilled his dream and joined the Marines. His first deployment was to Iraq in September 2008. Noah was a man full of love and laughter who enjoyed the outdoors. When he returned home from Afghanistan, he was supposed to marry Rachel – the love of his life.

NMM:
Asked each guy to share a bit about their failures. So, many of them shared a regret…something they viewed as a failure that like mising an opportunity. Some shared some pretty epic failures and how they’ve changed because of that.

We don’t necessarily have to regret something for it to be a failure. Personally, I want to try to fail better and often. I wanna dream big, and go big. If it blows up right in my face, hopefully I can learn something for my next big attempt. Shady once told me to fail forward. I like that.

We can’t be afraid to take chances. How are you putting yourself at risk for failure? Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Is it neither but thinking makes it so? (That’s a reference to Hamlet….look it up.) How can we strive to attempt things in ways that leads to good things even when we fail?

This is the kinda stuff I think about. Sometimes a lot. Often in a circular fashion. You’re welcome…or not.

The workout was hard, in the rain, and we went in a giant circle, twice.
