I pulled my first Riptide on my last Q and never wrote the back blast for FMJ where I earned by first Q-zie. I am also hi-jacking one back blast to write about another AO briefly. I feel like I am committing all the sins of Carpex at once…okay I feel absolved for my sins - I said 3 Our Fathers and ran 3 Miles. Was looking forward to my first Q at Kryptonite and had put some thought into what I wanted to do. [Read More]

As I look around at the pax, I realize there are some new faces to me. Introductions were made to Carvana and Skipper, both here to Ruck. Noticeably missing was Fort Mills’ Dirty Hairy who was recently seen blotting out the sun, sporting his newly minted CARPEX™ Hello Kitty officially licensed gear, and was invited to attend N.W. Carpex’s premier High Tempo bootcamp. 🤐 A highly abbreviated disclaimer was shared….man can Hi-Liter talk, why don’t you lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance? [Read More]

The corporate waiver was delivered. The pax were tasked to learn everyone’s PASSIONs, there would be a test at the end, huh (deer in the headlights expressions ensued). It was then determined that one of Denali’s favorite meals is green bean casserole sans onions, Dinali will be our rabbit. Murmurings of WTF followe. Mosey over to Global Knowledge and paint the lines, then circle up for sundry warm-up exercises. I believe there were some SSH, good mornings, wind mills, and runners stretches. [Read More]
