Not-So CSAUP CSAUP

20 HIM were not afraid of a pre-bootcamp CSAUP and accepted my challenge to make their communities a little cleaner.  As a regular of F3 posting in the gloom we often run / ruck right past all the litter on the streets often not even really seeing it.  During the 40/50 day challenge I challenged the pax to do something weekly that was for someone else.  So I thought why not wrap up the challenge with a CSAUP that will leave the areas that we use every week just a little better than the way we found it.  Just like picking up the six – “leave no man behind but leave no man where you find them” is a metaphor for lending a hand to those that need it – Likewise lets try to make the community we live in a little better.

Folks gathered at Folsom, Gashouse and the Yank to do just that.  Many wore rucksacks and rucked a few miles carrying garbage bags and picking up trash in the area.  Over 16 bags of trash were removed from the streets we use everyday.  The end result – our eyes were open to the trash we take for granted and the community was left just a little bit better.  I suspect there may also have been one or two motorists who recognized what we were doing and perhaps they will pay some form of service forward.  In any event I know that the pax who participated feel just a little better knowing that they did not just come to an AO and “leave it where we found it.”
