Resembling some alien vessel landing pad, four glowing beacons mark the pre-dawn fields of Shelley greet the men of Gideon. A fiery diamond around which the PAX would travel, laden with Black Zipper Shoulder Transport Compartments (BZSTCs), ready to suffer for glory.
Go Ruck. That’s the command. So we did.

The THANG:
WARM UP!

Good Mornins / Windmilling / Imperial Walkerz / Standard Mericans
Hike it up the right-hand trail to the first large field.
Four illuminated cones form the Diamond shape in the field, spread about 50 yds apart. One cone sits atop the hillside on the east end of the dam. The other three down in the field.

MOLESKINE:
Nessman and YHC continue the campaign: Vila For Barkley 2017. We believe in you, Bob Vila. You are our candidate.
Also, cats are never dogs. That’s not possible. So don’t say it is.
And also, Vila and M Vila run a respectable K-9 boarding program. The Vila estate is a friend to the four-pawed best friends.
In other news, Joule is Strongbad.

NEWS & NOTES:
3RD F on a Tues night at Healing Transitions. YHC was knowledgeless on this count. However, stay tuned for enlightenment from Denali.
There’s a GORUCK on May 27 in DC. We will tell the stories of fallen soldiers. It will genuinely be meaningful, and you should join us.

INTERCESSIONS:
Joule led us to give thanks and give the day to our Maker for him to lead us. Good start to it.
Thanks ami-bros.
Tuck, out.
