Welcome to Dredge and his 2.0, Sledge. Mayham used his sales expertise to EH these two men and they performed with flying colors. T-claps.

During COT, Getty said it best; Columbia has experienced their Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Sandy. Let’s not forget the men, women and children who are suffering the effects of catastrophic flood waters. We can all help; supplies (water, non-perishables, etc), a few bucks to the GoFundMe campaign (gofundme.com/9x5mxfv8) and continued prayers.

Men of F3 Columbia– we are with you all in spirit. Be strong, brothers. #ISI

GORUCK is in 7 days. Time to start tapering down your training and start mentally preparing. Remember, no one wins the GORUCK; we all excel and push one another. Afterall, it is THE ultimate team building competition.

Always an honor to lead in the gloom. AYE!
