Attention: Full Metal Jacket is on Netflix. Much to the chagrin of the Incubator’s Labor Day PAX, yours truly had a chance to watch it last week. And I noticed a certain exercise during the Marines’ basic training: a burpee without a push up. That turns your normal 6-count burpee into a 4-count exercise. I named it the Full Metal Jacket Burpee (FMJB), and I was anxious to incorporate into the COP.

That’s how you start a Labor Day, fellas. Enjoyed it.
Retainer out.
