COT: Creeds

Following up on @ShowMe’s COT from a few weeks ago “We Do Hard Things” . . . when groups of people do hard things day in and day out, they often rely on something to bind them together, a belief system that differentiates them and focuses their shared purpose.

Creed for the Navy Seals . . .

In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed.

Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life.

I am that man.

My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.

My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.

I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men.

Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.

We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.

I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.

We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me – my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.

We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.

Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed.

I will not fail.

The Thang: Coupon Indian Run
Run around the waterfront in a line. Lead person carries a 20-lb wall ball and sets the pace. Every minute, the lead person hands the ball to the next in line and falls to the back of the line. Whenever we get through the whole line, use a minute to perform the following: – 20 Merkins/Diamond Merkins/Peter Parkers
– 20 Air Squats/Copperhead Squats/Lunges
– 20 CDDs/Raise the Roof/Grady Corns
– 20 OH claps/LBAC
We completed four rounds of running, after which we tossed the wall ball around for five minutes. – 5 burpees whenever the ball hit the ground.

Mary: Flutter Kicks, American Hammers, Rope Climbers, Nolan Ryan’s, Dolphin Crunches, and Iron Cross hold.

CoT:
Earlier this month, my family read the story of Job from the Old Testament in the Bible. At the beginning of the story, Job loses everything—his wealth, children, and health. Here is his response: “​Then Job arose, and ​​​rent​ his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, and said, ​​​Naked​ came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the ​​Lord​​ gave, and the ​​Lord​​ hath ​​​taken​ away; ​​​blessed​ be the name of the ​​Lord​​.” (Job 1:20-21)

Job provides good perspective here: we all came into the world with nothing and we will all leave this world with nothing. Everything we enjoy in life is temporary—death is not an “if” but a “when” and we don’t take anything with us. Even before death, the present circumstances of our lives are temporary. The key is to be grateful for the jobs, health, and possessions we have while we have them. And being grateful fortifies us against the time when we will lose these things.

COT: It’s never to late to be the person you were supposed to be. Before the Fall sprint starts, inventory now the actions you’ve been taking against the direction you want to head. Weed out the extraneous steps that you’re taking – toward goals you no longer prioritize or unimportant errata. Align and commit to the actions you will take to get to where you want to go.
