A Squerkin hunting we will go! Oh, and a VQ no more.


*Denim, Bandwagon, IronCity are not listed on the website. Get signed up men.

21 capable commandos and Baxter stayed to test the mettle of this virgin Q. Here is what they got. Baxter did his own thing as he’s done this before and the rest of us are just amateurs.

Abbreviated disclaimer, as there were no FNG’s in the crowd.

Moleskin:

  • I enjoyed my VQ and I hope everyone in attendance did as well. I tried to give everyone a total body workout. The time went by so fast that I ran out of time in the end. We went over by about a minute.
  • Either there was not much mumble chatter or there was too much blood rushing through my ears for me to hear any or trying too hard to concentrate on counting and breathing at the same time. In any case, there was not much that I heard.
  • During the commando pull-ups I did overhear (even with the blood)  that Bambam does not wear underwear when he does these. We are not that kind of group Bambam!
  • The Squerkin was a crowd favorite. Much mumble chatter erupted around this exercise. Bam-bam commented that this sounded like a prison exercise…and how would he know? And no, this was not left over from Toxic’s Juarez valley prison routine. I think that unique exercises keep the workouts interesting.
  • On the BTTW I called “In Cadence” to see if that would make anyone pause but as there were no rookies out there they didn’t even seem to blink.  I did get a couple chuckles though.
  • There were 3 clown cars that showed up today. Nice work on the accountability and gas savings.
  • Strong work by all this morning.
  • Thanks Ty Webb for allowing me to Q today. It was privilege and honor to lead you fine group of leaders.
