Introduction
Arrived at DG about 15 mins before STARTEX, chatted it up with the boys a bit, sorted out the sandbags making sure we had enough so that half the PAX had a sandbag to carry during the ruck. Although it was dark, it was pretty cool seeing everything set up in prep for the 9/11 memorial weekend festivities, which will include some Civil War, WWI, and WWII reenactments.

The Thang
Rucked from the start point out to the hill with half the PAX carrying 40/60# sandbags.
Once we got to the hill, we broke into two teams of 10 and did an evolution of the uphill centipede sandbag pass – essentially, PAX sit on their six, facing down hill, and form a line behind one another. First PAX passes a sandbag overhead to the man uphill and behind him. Once he passes the sandbag up, he moves uphill to the end of the line. Repeat until the team reaches the top of the hill. We finished up by doing 15 squats, holding down for a 10 count on the final squat.
Proceeded back downt the hill. Instructed PAX that if they did not have a ruck to grab a sandbag. Instructed men with a ruck to drop rucks. Once we had that sorted out, had PAX bear crawl up the hill while dragging their ruck or sandbag up in front of them. Once all PAX reached the top, we rucked up, grabbed sandbags, and made our way down the hill where we continued to ruck the AO until mary.
During Mary, we did 15x love sacks with each arm, then 15x bent over ruck rows (which when saying “ruck row” we all agreed sounded like Scooby Doo saying it, so now we will call them “Scooby Doo’s), then finished up with ruck John Cusack’s for a minute until we hit 6.
Circle of Trust
Conducted a moment of silence in memory of those lost during 9/11 and asked the men to briefly reflect on where they were that fateful morning and how much it changed their lives.
Naked Man Moleskin
Forgot to share this with the men this morning, so I’ll drop it here, but will definitely use it at another CoT in the near future…
Saw this meme that someone made of Dennis Rodman (former Bulls F and rebound beast).
Dennis Rodman once had an insane three game stretch:
0 points, 25 rebounds
0 points, 24 rebounds
0 points, 28 rebounds
