Three PAX gathered at The Wall for a leisurely EC ruck, launching from the AO at 0500. Solid time for mumblechatter. We were treated to a beautiful sunrise making YHC grateful for getting out of the fartsack at 0430. Arriving back at The Wall we were greeted by a strong turnout of 21 PAX. Friday morning. 70 degrees. 96% humidity. Time to get after it.

YHC closed out today”s COT with a message on “Strength through adversity.” How do we get stronger? The days when you are not feeling it, those are the days when it”s critical to get after it. Those are the days when true growth happens, and when strength develops. I did not want to get out of the fartsack at 0430 this morning. I got up anyway, because it”s important to have self-discipline. I got up anyway, because there would be no other opportunity on this day for me to have the fellowship and brotherhood that I am able to experience in this group. I got up anyway, and I am stronger because of it.
As always, it was an honor to lead you men this morning.
