COT
Last week, my son was rushed to the hospital. My wife frantically tried to call me, but couldn’t reach me, as I was at F3, and left my phone in the car. By the time I got the message, and realized how serious the situation was, my wife and kids were already in the ER. I was caught flat footed, unaware, and unprepared. When I got to the ER at TC Thompson, I promised her that I would be on call from there on out, and since then, I’ve always had a phone on me. Thankfully, my son is OK, but I never should have allowed myself to be put in that position.
As men, we are on call for many things. We prioritize our lives as we see fit, and are willing to drop everything for what we make important. My challenge to each and every man in the group is this: for what are you on call? Is it work? Your family? College football? What takes priority in your life, and what falls to the wayside as a result? Do you need to reorganize your priorities?
MaYhem led us out.
Moleskin
YHC explained the importance of the Just One More ending cadence at Hacksaw, then promptly screwed it up for the next exercise. Royce Gracies are hard to do in a small circle.
Jokes abound in the COP – namely, being a little early for some things. John Doe doesn’t mind; he still has two daughters. Man can take a joke with the best of ’em.
Coffeeteria at ChickFilA; pretty sure we rolled 12 deep, and broke their morning rush.
