Thanks razor...you wrote the words right out of my hands...ever hear a team guy say..let's do a 20 k'er?
That's funny......
When I was a team sergeant, we would ruck around GAAF at Ft. Lewis...and then piss off many folks by stopping at the espresso shop by the bus station..and......after finishing our Mocha's and Latte's, ruck up and hustle it up and get back....we didn't run..but it was close to a run..and we still made it back by 0830...what's the point..our motivation was to quickly get to the coffee shop..take a quick 10, and get back, before many other teams that didn't go as far. It was my selfish way of saying "HA" to other teams all while keeping my team motivated. The funny thing is that other teams started doing this and it still happens to this day from time to time from what I hear. I won't take all the credit though, my old team sergeant gave me the idea and I just ran with it.
