Marine Corps History at TBD 5/26/21

/in /by

11 Pax got a lesson in Marine Corps history as we took to Belleau Wood and Tripoli at TBD for a butt-kicking like no other @M4LIFE @swishersweet, @Hardy @Gamecock @Florence/FloJoe @Yogurt @Dahmer @Java @Cancun @HazMat and

@Breach on the Q/Drill Instructor/History Professor

Warm Up: All pax were issued a Rifle (aka a pool noodle) and we formed 2 squads for a platoon style movement to the lower parking lot for 22 counts exercises of (SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies, and Prisoner Squats)

The Workout:

Evolution #1- Battle of Tripoli

April 27 1805- Marines march more than 500 miles across the Libyan desert to defeat the barbary pirates and rescue the crew of the USS Philadelphia. This is the battle where the Marines earned the nickname leatherneck due to the piece of leather they wore to keep the pirates from slicing their throats

Get into pairs and wheelbarrow around the track, every time that you have to switch you have to perform 5 burpees. Squat hold for the 6. We recused the crew of the USS Philadelphia and they had to finish the evolution with us. (2 Pain Sticks, 2 Sandbags and 2 Fire hoses) All the gear had to be carried by the platoon. 

 

Evolution #2-Battle of Belleau Wood -June 1918 

Marines charges machine guns nest with fixed bayonets and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat that took six days to accomplish, it was at this battle that the Marines earned the title Devil Dogs for their fierce fighting style and their inability to quit fighting. 

Rescue the crew and move on to the rock pile- get a medium-sized rock and line up across the parking lot. Frogger jumps with the rock across the lots. When you get to the other side 19 ground pounders, frogger back and do 18 ground-pounders, pick up the 6. 

Grab the crew and head toward the tennis courts for Mary

Mary:

Chumbawamba- I get knocked down, but I get up again. SSH for the non-course line and burpees/Turkish get-ups for the course, every I get knocked down you hit the deck and get back up.

Ended the workout with some bagpipe amazing grace to reflect on the upcoming Memorial Day holiday and what the cost of our freedom is.

Announcements:

Volunteer event this Sat in Holly Springs, Bacon is leading the charge check slack for details. For every pax member that wears Red on Friday at a workout Breach will donate $10 to the Travis Manion Foundation and if we get 75% or more he will double it.

Crop-duster aka the Toot-n-Scoot

/in /by

FNGs: None

EC: Norm, Red, Sprinkler, Katniss, POTS, Gamecock

Warm Up: Good mornings, Willie mays haze, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, SSH, Sir Fazio arm circles

The Workout:

Part 1: Wheel of Misfortune.

Circle up with one PAX in the middle. The PAX on the outside are assigned an AMRAP exercise, and the PAX in the middle acts as the timer and does 10 burpees. Once he’s done, rotate to the next station with the top of the circle coming into the center for his turn at burpees. We made three rotations. Outside exercises were: Sumo squats, Shoulder taps, High knees, Angle grinder, Daft Punk (Around the world lunges), and Crab Cakes.

Part 2: Next Man Up, Crop-duster style

One PAX calls a terrible exercise for the rest of the group then heads off. PAX that called the exercise then “bones the fish” side-shuffling along the parking space lines moving up the parking lot then mosey back.  Rotate and the next man up calls an exercise then leaves. There was revenge, cruelty, anticipation, and way too many burpees.

Mary: There was enough Mary in Part 2.

Announcements: FV 4 mi and bible study black ops on Wednesday, Tequila Sunrise on Saturday

T-Claps (Recognition): All the visitors to KG!

Prayer: Local family with losses in the family, Martini, Praise for Sprinkler and POTS’s kids graduating

The Workout:

Batter Up!  – It was a glorious morning for some time out on the ball field.  YHC had 16 wonderful exercises all lined up for business on cards in a hat.  Each batter would draw an exercise out of the hat for a single.  The PAX had to sprint the bases/crab walk/lunge walk/bear crawl while other PAX were at home plate doing the exercise.  Once all exercises were done we put the cards back in the hat and did a double with the batter now drawing 2 cards and doing the exercises.  Batter now had to go around the bases 2 times and PAX did one exercise per each lap around bases.  We were gonna do triples but ran out of time.  NUTS!
