A GORUCK Challenge Surrounding the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland


The Navy owns the water. That was our theory anyway, and 90 midshipmen at the Naval Academy didn’t prove us wrong.  The colder the better, apparently, as several went so far as to challenge sub-zero wind chill temps with only shorts on. They took all that we gave them: telephone poles for miles, back and forths over the oh shit bridge, 200 meters of bounding bear crawls…and continual uncertainty.  By the end, each of the classes, 011, 012, 013, and 014 relished the shared experiences that outsiders could not quite comprehend.  And because Beaux couldn’t let them have all the fun, he checked out the waters himself and reported back with big smiles that the Navy could keep their cold as hell waters all to themselves.  And so as we left Annapolis, now friends with some of America’s best young leaders, shared smiles and shared shivers revealed our pride in proving our original theory right.

    Ahhh – what an experience. As a member of Class 013, I’m overjoyed to see these pictures and know that I was able to take part of this extremely motivating team exercise. It’s always a great time when your body feels crushed to pieces, and the GRC definitely did a number on me. Good livin’!

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining,
    and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something which too few men and women are speaking intelligently
    about. I’m very happy I found this during my hunt for
    something concerning this.

    Here is my web blog: vpn

    widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
    updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite
    some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
