ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Talked about all my injuries. Arm. Groin. How I set big goals for the year, and needed to switch focus from growth to recovery. It’s been tough getting through my thick skull that I have to give everything great amounts of time and rest. Sometime I push too hard, unceasingly that it takes me way longer than it should to bounce back from injury.

Abridged version of the Bluejacket’s guide to leadership. A 1943 manual given to junior enlisted sailors.

Loyalty. Loyalty is the opposite of treachery. A man who is not true to himself cannot be loyal to anyone or anything.

Faith. Believe in yourself. Trust yourself. Count on yourself.

Obedience. To be obedient is to place your own desires and impulses in second position.

Courage. Courage is that quality which enables one to meet danger and difficulties with firmness and with ability unimpaired. It does not mean absence of fear. A courageous man has mastered fear. Cool courage implies ability to exercise sound judgment in the face of danger.

Honor. Act so that your home folks will be proud of you, and will tell all of your friends what fine things you are doing. Act so that others will want to be like you.

Self-control. Self-control is the visible evidence of self-discipline.

Knowledge. Knowledge comes only through study and hard work. Men always respect you for what you know. It pays to know, and to know you know. Know your own job well and when you know it perfectly you will be on your way to knowing the job ahead of you.

Reliability. Always do what you are told to do, and do it the best you know how.

Spirit. To have spirit means to be able to become enthusiastic and inspired in everything you do and to show a lively interest in your work.

Justice. Be square. Play the game hard, but play it squarely. Give a square deal to others and expect one in return. Act so that others can respect you as a man.

Truthfulness. The final test of a man is: In a pinch, will he lie? Many a man who told the whole truth has been let off or given light punishment, where the liar was punished for the offense and for lying as well.

Conduct. Good behavior and a clear record are essential for promotion to positions of leadership. A leader’s conduct must always be exemplary and the standards maintained by leaders are very high.

Initiative. Sound judgment in taking the initiative (or in leading toward a goal) is an essential quality in a leader.

Energetic. A man who does not spare his efforts, or value them higher than the proper performance of his duty, is energetic. He does things the “smart” way and is not too concerned about whether it is the “hard” way or the “easy” way.

Cheerfulness. Good will, easy manners, and friendly speech are contagious.

Honesty. Your belongings are yours and yours to use or dispose of. Stealing is an admission by a man that he is inadequate to obtain the things he craves by fair and open means.

“Invictus” by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

MOLESKIN:

“If-” by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

 

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

MOLESKIN:
Solid beatdown. Counting the warmup we did 101 Burpees. I think some of us made it about halfway back down the ladder.
