We explored the roads in Belmont West and Gulf Park and had a great time catching up with guys we have not seen in a few months.

Following the Ruck, we discusses being vulnerable, sharing problems, and being open to seeking help. These topics tie into the QSOURCE OTB that we are experimenting with on Sunday mornings to potentially have a non exercise AO that focuses on teaching leadership principles. This is continuing on the Grow School Leadership training from the GTE, and the concept of “unlocking” men.
