ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Grunt. Bring yer Ms cuz FIA will be in the house. They’re a solid group and we want to support them.

COT: This was tough. YHC builds workouts that PAX would not do alone for a reason. It’s because we do better as PAX. We feel it during those 5Ks we sign up for. We feel it when doing a CSAUP. There’s an energy that exists in groups, and it’s a real thing. Remember that when feeling down and out as you lay there in the fart sack. It takes some effort, but every single time you pull yourself up and step out that door into the gloom to join the PAX, you receive the energy that the PAX generates. It makes you a better man, and enables you to be a better leader, which improves your family and the community around you. Keep it up brothers! Every step counts!!!

Aye!
