It may seem like a a cliche that we have heard constantly since 9/11. Some think it’s overused, some people don’t even think twice about it, but to some, this thank you does have value. It has meaning. It is recognition of a young person’s decision to step up into the unknown, to see if they have what it takes to serve in the armed forces.

The most fun I have other than Q’ing / leading men through workouts is scouring the exicon for workouts. This particular preparation was fun to develop.
