Forty-three Pax posted on a sultry morning, just right for some stress, strain and deflection.

Finish off with a 3-team Inchworm. Similar to industry, it often looks good on paper, but is seldom executed as planned in the field. Still, the Pax embraced the task and proceded to gain a few inches. Taking our duty to protect personnel and property above all else seriously; however, the structure was deemed unstable, and a redesign is presently on the table… How does one calculate that section modulus?

COT was spent in a high plank with an occassional knee to name four FNG’s – welcome, Gentlemen. Finally, White Shoe, who, by the way, is as tough as a boot strap, ceremoniously doned the aviators and presented part of GoRuck Class 604 with two commemorative patches. One with a tribute to Cadre Ben, the Angel of Death riding a unicorn (of course, a herd is a Blessing) on a reverse flying Texas state flag, the other with the sign of our F3 brotherhood. Wear them with pride men.
