COT: Q-Source Q1.7: Shield Lock-

· Man hunts best in a pack.
"Eyes to the side go to the animals that hide. Eyes up front go to the animals that hunt." It is our ability to hunt together in a very complex and creative ways that puts man at the very top of the earth’s food chain. No man can see his own six. So the man who watches the Six is just as important as the one who throws the spear. Men recognize the Advantage of mutual defense and use creativity, such as locking shields, to protect the group. After your wife, and family, the shield lock is the 3rd concentrica and must be treated as a team, not a club. Clubs are for companionship, where as teams are for achieving a mission that benefits a broader community. We all go through flux – the emotional reactions to peaks and valleys life brings. By locking shields with other men, we hedge our brother’s peak against our own valleys, and vice-versa. A Shield Lock parcels out the pain felt by the man in the valley and bears it together as a team. Pain is finite and the more it is parceled, the easier it is to bear.

COT:

  • Copied shamelessly from Major Payne … in recognition of Earth Day
  • John James Audubon said, "A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children." It’s important to think about how it’s on us all to give back, to appreciate those around us, and to leave this world better than we found it. There is greatness in recognizing that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves.

COT: On this day in 1954, the Salk polio vaccine trials began. Over the next year, 1.8 million school children would participate, but the first shot was administered at Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, less that four miles from our AO. A year later, the vaccine was deemed safe and polio was for the most part eliminated. We are physically near vaccine history, and we are living during vaccine breakthroughs. Things are getting better!
