16 Men showed up for GORUCK training with only 1 knowing a test was about to be administered. YHC walked up to the flagless team, asked them to line up in 2 columns and we walked over to edge of the baseball field. We grounded our rucks and read the APFT instructions to everyone.

Rucks on, Elephant Walk down to Pull Up Forest
Retrieve 7 logs, gather on field, Ty Webb is leader, Capt America is dead because no America Flag, YHC’s ruck becomes team weight, 5 minutes to get around backstop and back to starting point.
Near backstop Black Eyed Pea died due to sniper fire while carrying the casualty. While heading back the team & leader forgot about Friday and Snake Eyes, small group went back to retrieve. Didn’t make time hack.
Put logs back, low crawl to first base line, bear crawl, low crawl, on feet, 2 columns and run back for COT.
Moleskin:
1 – Great job on the pop quiz men!
2 – Who knew guys would like rucking more than running
3 – Remember to allow leader to do less heavy carrying so he can lead
4 – 1st time no one got tantrumed…… ?
5 – Honor to be a part of spearhead

My run time was 16:14. Yes, I talked smack the night before and Dallas beat me on the run. Next time we sprint.
First time Tantrum didn’t repeatedly gas us all. Is he OK?
Would have been enjoyable. Hope to be back next Friday.
Awesome pop quiz, Dallas! Good work everyone on the test.

BTB, I think you can consider all noco spearhead challenge patch recipients as HCs. Can you just add us all?
I suppose I can. Hadn’t heard from many people that they were interested so I was just keeping it simple. I will add everyone momentarily.
There is a lot of grumbling going on, but I also keep hearing – “this counts for pathfinder, right?” from numerous SH002 (is that the correct reference) patch holders…
We don’t keep track of the SPEARHEAD Patch classes because there have been a lot, and South & North are running at same time. Patch holders are patch holders.
PATHFINDER has a final challenge requirement, so that is where the class number will come from. Everyone will complete the final challenge as a team.
I added everyone shown as a patch holder from the January challenge log for NoCo.
Remember to log all ruck miles and workout posts for credit.
I will send out weekly updates to everyone on the log showing their progress.
Hey! I passed! That was cool. I was a little hesitant on doing it before.
