Pre-Blast – The ‘O’ – 9/13/18 ToG

I’m an engineer, not a marketing director.  I don’t like writing Pre-blasts or other blasts for that matter.  However, I do enjoy reading the clever ones (like Methane’s generic cookie comparison), but this isn’t one of them.  I’m a meat and potatoes with butter and salt kind of guy. No frills, no pepper, just saltContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The ‘O’ – 9/13/18 ToG”

Back Blast – The Mutt – 09-11-18 – All Gave Some, Some Gave All, Never Forget.

Let us never forget the sacrifices that were madeContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Mutt – 09-11-18 – All Gave Some, Some Gave All, Never Forget.”

9/11 tribute BackBlast from #TheCounty

  Upon arrival to the County to set up at 0500, I received a call from StormTrooper.  He asked if it’d be ok for him to address the Pax prior to the work out beginning.  You see, StormTrooper is a former Marine and currently serving on Ft. Knox as a Firefigher.  What an opportunity toContinueContinue reading “9/11 tribute BackBlast from #TheCounty”

@f3Carpenter Back Blast- 9/11/18: “We Must Always Remember”- @johnnyringof3

When CI asked for a volunteer to Q the Carp, I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive.  I hadn’t Q’d in a while but more importantly, I knew that the WO on 9/11/18 would be, and should be, one of significance.  Regardless, I stepped up and took the reigns and couldn’t beContinueContinue reading “@f3Carpenter Back Blast- 9/11/18: “We Must Always Remember”- @johnnyringof3″

BackBlast #BlackOps #BigFourStation Abacus Q 9/8/18

Lucky for me every disclaimer clearly states “modify as necessary”. Early in the week I planned on Co-Q’ing with Iceman and running (i) a speed / agility course and (ii) 11’s up the bridge.

Ruck Training Back Blast

PAX- Star Child (Q), Crop Duster (fng), Mayberry, Fanny Pack, Huggies, Snowman I love rucking. It’s a great time to banter with the PAX vs. a typical workout which you are attempting to breathe for an hour. So when you blend rucking and working out, well, you can’t breathe, let alone speak. It’s painful andContinueContinue reading “Ruck Training Back Blast”
