New Commander at Ground Assault

12 PAX gathered to try to reach our step goal by 0600.  1 PAX got caught be a train, 1 was bloodied, and 1 was left behind.  The Site Q was fired on the spot.  We need a new leader ASAP to shape up this motley crew.

Enter Virus, the new Site Q at Ground Assault.  This HIM is on the short list of most influential PAX on my life.  I dare you to try to find a better guy.  You won’t.  The Wednesday Morning East Side Run/Ruck Club is in good hands.

Grateful for the opportunity to lead, and for the many who have helped shape the idea, taken a Q, or logged miles at Ground Assault.

Don’t be an a-hole

2 runners.  4 ruckers.  Some EC to lead it off.  Roscoe said it was 0530, so YHC said “OK, Go”.  So we went.

The Dichotomy of Leadership chapter was “Train Hard, but Train Smart”.  A leader’s job is to make the training hard, because we need to be best prepared for the worst, but always make sure the learning is accessible, and not covered up by extreme and unnecessary nastiness.  While even the nasty trainings will teach lessons, they won’t necessarily be the lessons that the leader aimed to teach.

This book is a great read.  Come join us for more next Sunday.
