  • Beasts from the east!

    3 Beasts from the east got together this morning to work on our rucking pace. We got in 3 miles at a pace of 15:30. A lot of chatter this morning about daily routines and having kids. YHC agrees that Wildwood has one of the best daily routines which includes a lot of golf. Beavers next Q will be his 100th! Without his push, discipline, and commitment, we wouldn’t even have an F3 in New Kent. He didn’t just show up he helped build something. Appreciate you!

    YHC out

    Don’t waste the day!

    Respect to these men for sticking it out, even through the cold and wet. That kind of shared struggle and encouragement is exactly what builds that strong brotherhood and mindset for growth. Iron sharpens iron! Keep pushing and lifting each other up!

    Yukon Cornelius took us out on a very nicely said prayer!


  • Solving the worlds problems one ruck at a time

    With Beaver down range Wildwood and I decided to try and beat his rucking pace this morning. We had a good shuffle going on but couldn’t quite get there but we will! We knocked out a little over 3 miles at a 16:30 pace. It was good to catch up and talk about vacations, kids and pretty much everything going on in this crazy world. We both agreed that people need to focus more on improving themselves than focusing on the flaws of others. More people need to wake up earlier and put in the work!

    Don’t waste the day.

  • Dr. Phil Session

    3 of us got together to try and figure out how the woman’s brain works. We were very unsuccessful but us men did agree with alot when it came to marriage. Our buddy Wildwood will be getting married soon so we threw in our opinions and thoughts about marriage. We are very lucky to have these woman in our lives to keep us on the straight and narrow. Knocked out 3 miles with some iron in your backs.

    Thank yall for coming out this morning and getting the game going. We had a FNG show up and was blocking that net like a pro! So we came up with the name The Ultimate Wall. A few things I pulled away from this game…..

    Wildwood cant catch a frisbee, Beaver plays every game like he plays hockey, Thin Crust has a reach of 10 feet, Olaf might have gotten a concussion, Yukon is a juggernaut, Chowder is always open, Beat It was all over the field like a spider monkey, Sugar Rush just likes to run, The Ultimate Wall is a very intimidating goalie. Choo Choo likes to score goals…….Beat It is becoming a regular out here also.

    YHC and his 2.0 Sugar Rush took us out. Don’t waste the day!

    Awesome way to start the week and I’m glad the guys showed up. A lot of chatter this morning about hoochie daddy shorts and how the YHC never has anything that pops out. The YHC believes in about 2 weeks everyone at the lumberyard will be rocking 3” inseam shorts!

    Discipline is ignoring something you want right now for something better later on. – Andrew Davis
