My Journey to Alaska and back....again (and other Army/YankeeVol life adventures)

Thanks. He was one of my soldiers.

Even tougher. So sorry. I’ve lost friends and leaders to their demons, wish I knew something great to say hear, but it just sucks

Took my first ACFT today. That was terrible.

I passed, but the sprint drag carry kicked my ass.

Good news, it will also be my last.

That sled pull is crazy. I get to the turn around point feeling great, then about 1/3 of the way back it just hits like a ton of bricks and your legs are like “nope, we’re done here”

Yup. As soon as I got back and tried to do the side shuffle I felt like a baby giraffe trying to walk for the first time. It totally f’d my 2 mile time
