G6 shared about the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.  He then prayed and we ended with Taps.

MOLESKIN
31 PAX including 1 FNG came out to a gloomy Asylum to get better and honor the men and women who have fallen in battle.  We took on the Team RWB 21 Guns challenge and added some more for good measure (if it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change).  The highlight of the morning was moseying to the East Tennessee Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.  We made our way to the top of the main hill and circled up for the COT.  Men who have lost friends and family during battle shared their names, branch of service.  We then had our PAX’s own Wardaddy G6, himself retired Air Force, share during the BOM and lead us in prayer.  We ended our time with a moment of silence and the playing of Taps.

It was a great morning.  As men arrived a thick fog settled over the park and it set the mood perfectly.  This was a special morning.  The men went hard and no man was left behind…just as it should be.

“A comfort zone is a beautiful oasis, but nothing ever grows there”

As men and as leaders, we cannot afford to shy away from opportunity just because it lies outside of our comfort zones. Stepping outside your wheelhouse will allow you to expand your skill set, meet new people, and gain new experience.

MOLESKIN
It was a great morning to be outdoors and we had a great PAX. The cool, clear morning had everyone pushing hard and everybody worked up a good sweat by the end of the workout. It was a different experience being in the center of the circle this time but I left feeling very refreshed and ready to take on another day – I hope everyone else did, too.

Pledge of Allegiance

Don’t wish away the days.  Was reminded yesterday how quickly time passes as I sat through my 5th graders graduation. Seems like just yesterday that he was two.

Cherish the moments in life you have. Don’t look back and wish you had done more.
