As 10 HIMs are preparing for the GrowRuck Alamo on April 9-11th, we had to put some work in with weights. As expected, the football field was wet with dew and the weather was unseasonably warm at 5:30 am. Here is the link to the explainer video! Those men at …
Technically Army Specialist SPC Jean-Paul Tujague Jr is in the 141st (Washington Artillery) which is attached to the 256th Infantry Brigade, so we paid tribute and respect with 141 Merkins and 256 Big Boy Sit Ups… broken down into six rounds. We started at the gathering point and moseyed to …
