Veteran’s Day trivia and penalty burpies

November 11, 2017

WHEN: 11/11/2017
QIC: Mr. Brady
PAX: Crockett, Low Tide, Beano, Sharknado, Sweater Vest, Newt, Dream Catcher, Kia, Cherie Berry, Johnny 5, Red October, Shakeit, Choo Choo, Funny Money, Skywalker, Snots, FNG Colonel Mustard

14 Pax, 1 FNG (Col. Mustard) and 1 late-comer <cough> Red October <cough> braved the coldest day of the year to celebrate Veteran’s Day at TBL.

Warm up: SSH, overhead claps, LBAC, and imperial walkers, interspersed with Veteran’s Day trivia.  For every wrong answer, 5 penalty burpees. For every right answer, five penalty burpees because people were guessing.  There were a whole lot of penalty burpees. You people don’t know your history.

The Thang: in groups of 5, 1775 repetitions of 5 exercises while one brother ran to the baseline and back with a ruck.  1775 signifies when the Navy and army we’re established.  Followed by Buddy carries, Tunnel of Love, and some exercises at The Rockpile.  Finished with  Mary, flutter kicks, a Navy dive School standard, and WW2s to give thanks to the greatest generation, followed by Ring of Fire. Penalty burpees throughout the entire hour as people mostly incorrectly answered trivia.  I hope some of you are better at your day jobs then knowledge of History.

COT: 9 started Veteran’s Day Go Ruck in DC, 9 finished.  Outstanding!  Per Red October, Need for Speed coming to our AO, hooks up specialty wheelchairs for the disabled.  See Red October for details.  Welcome FNG Colonel Mustard!

Crockett took us out with the prayer.
