This is the After Action Review for the overnight ruck portion of GTE #47 that took place right here in F3RVA on Saturday evening at 6pm and ended at 9am Sunday morning. Calling it an overnight ruck really doesn’t do it justice. It was way more physically challenging than “just a ruck”. There was also so much leadership training and opportunities for camaraderie and personal growth. This is an event which YHC believes truly changed all the HIMs who participated in it for the better. First we will need to add a couple definitions which will continue as we go…

The “Ruck Friendly” Bootcamp was actually kind of an A-hole

As the miles have stacked up over the last few months via GTE training, YHC thought a “break” from said rucking might be nice. Wrongo. The goal was to strengthen some key muscles in preparation for GTE next week via “ruck-friendly” bootcamp activities. But it turned out it wasn’t that friendly… as expected, all 10 HIMs absolutely crushed it. Pierogi caught the tail end of the following 0600 beat down… Warmarama Arm Circles while waiting for the 6 Ruck Shuffle around the loop – 140-150BPM tunes Stop 1 – F3 Principles with Plank/merkins Stop 2 – Name the Pax with…

Nothing shakes a handsnake like the haunting groans of jorts-sporting ruckers handling huge wood. But by the size of his own tent party it was clear Handshake enjoyed every second of this morning’s SOJ/GTE Ghost Flag takeover. A new record was set as 25 HIM’s descended on First Watch, startling a few locals out of their shavasana meditation and tackling the latest GrowRuck Training regimen, as follows: The THANG:  WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the parking lot and circle up (more of a rectangle to fit the small space) Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top…

3 Beasts didn’t get enough work from Oyster’s 3+ mile Dogpile Q and set off on a tour of their own with extra weight on their backs. Various weight carried, multiple miles traversed, many world problems solved, all solutions forgotten.

A squad of six SOJ ruck maniacs took to the Stratford Hills for a few laps around the hood, and to assist YHC in shifting the GTE logs closer to the load & launch area. Only 17 days remain until GTE #47 and conversation abounded with log lifting strategies, footwear and sock tips, knot tying methods, and other useful preparedness knowledge. Knowing is half the battle. Let’s GO! 😎💪 ~DTH PRAYERS for our brothers suffering injuries and illnesses. 🙏👊

Are you sure it’s that way?

4 pax met at 8pm tonight to test the legs and the gear for 10 miles of rucking. Thanks to YHC’s impeccable route and mostly successful navigation of said route, we got the 10 miles in and went by the Swift Creek Resevoir at least twice. That hurt. TCLAPS to Rosie for completing the training at 1 percent personal battery according to his watch. Lessons learned: bring water and snacks, wear comfortable shoes, give your shoulders a break so your hands don’t go numb. Also Tobit has more AKAs than Old Dirty Bastard (RIP).

A notorious nine launched from Dogpile at 0400 for a walking tour of Richmond. Conditions were 70 and sunny, perfect for a 10-mile CSAUP. From Dogpile we trekked north to The Diamond for our first pit stop. YHC attempted to demonstrate how to tie a bowline knot, but it was rope-master Machismo who educated the PAX. We headed south down Hermitage into the heart of the Fan and lost Big Rig somewhere in the neighborhood as his time with us was also planned to be medium and sweet. Eastbound down Monument/Franklin to Monroe Park for pitstop #2. Continue south to…

6 men showed up to challenge themselves to ruck 10 miles this morning. Many of the world’s problems were solved as we rucked throughout Rockwood Park and North Chesterfield. More details to come on that. Thanks to the crew for the company and the conversation!

10 Morning Wood ruckers burdened with over 400 pounds of steel and sand embraced a beautiful morning on the Rockwood back trails. Big Rig forgot his ruck and opted (like the warrior he is!) to carry all 60 pounds of Sandy for the 55 minute, 2.8 miles. Mudslide was kind enough to lead the PAX along a quaint lakeside trail and we enjoyed deep conversation and a purple orange sunrise over the misted lake. Many MANY reasons to be thankful. 🙏 Yours, DTH
