GATE 5: CULEX – Culminating Exercise – Remaining teams go into a head to head competition to determine a winner.  All remaining teams start at the same time. One winner and all other teams that complete the CULEX are Team Assessment Finishers (two different patches). This is a non-stop & continuous race…finish one mission and move to the next. First team to cross the finish wins. Total time standard is 4 hours. (4H; 6M+)

Scenario: What we tell GORUCK Nation NLT 0830.

Teams 1 & 5 from the Ohio National Guard have infiltrated into their assigned Areas of Operations (AOR). The teams have linked-up with and have established rapport with the local G-Chief (Chief J-Bird) of the GORUCKLandia National Liberation Forces (GRNLF) at the G-Base Jay’s House of Pain or simply the JHOP.

Based on political restrictions and US rules of engagement (ROE), US troops are not allowed to participate in direct combat operations.The fighting at the frontline is intensifying. Commandant Monty – long standing Commander of the 2nd BN – 821st Upper Bellbrook Infantry Regiment has sent a request for immediate ammo resupply to Chief J-Bird

Commandant Monty also reports that his men fear that US forces may soon be pulling out and they need reassurance that US forces will remain in-country and continue to support the GNLF until victory is secured. Monty requests US presence at the front.

Chief J-Bird asks the teams to request an immediate resupply. The teams provide their higher headquarters with grid coordinates for the SPEEDBALL airdrop and request permission from higher HQs to execute the resupply mission.

As the guerrilla movement enters the combat employment phase of unconventional warfare (UW) the situation is dire and the teams are expecting a lot of activity in the coming few days.

Enemy forces have acquired Russian-made airborne thermal sensors. US Intelligence states that the thermal sensors can easily be defeated by camouflaging their bodies in a thick layer of mud from the local swamps.

For the purpose of the culminating exercise (CULEX), 1 hour = 1 week of time in the play of the scenario.

Script: What plays out on FB Live and is presented to the teams left competing.

  • Chief J-Bird walks up to the 2 x teams to tell them of the situation at the front line. Chief J-Bird asks the teams if they can carry out an ammunition resupply in order to provide urgent support to the front line forces.
  • Teams provide HQ with the coordinates for the airdrop and devises their plan to carryout the mission.
  • The teams’ Commander tells the teams they must provide him with a verbal briefback before moving to the frontline.
  • Once the briefbacks are complete – the CULEX begins
  • Teams move to the local swamp to begin anti-thermal protection application
  • Teams then move to some old carts (their apparatus equipment) from previous movements in the area. They construct the apparatus again to use to recover the SPEEDBALL Resupply.  Ammo resupply = 5 x #40 sandbag
  • Teams move at their fastest pace to recover the ammo and move it to the front line.
  • Once at the front line and linked up with Commandant Monty they are asked to move casualties back to the basecamp JHOP
  • The teams move the “dead freds” (snaplinked 5 x #40 sandbag) who represents the G-Chief’s cousin and most beloved fighter back to the swamp and then buddy drag the bodies to the JHOP.
  • Once back in the JHOP the teams receive an important message from HQ. The message reads…”enemy forces are now being supported by Russian MiGs and the teams need to provide anti-aircraft weapons to the G-Chief for force protection.
  • Each team moves ASAP to their cached stinger missiles and return them to the JHOP
  • Of course the missiles require a guidance system that is located in a separate cache
  • The guidance system cache is a water cache located in the little Miami river (cache is an #80 sandbag)
  • Teams will move with rucks to the swap, re-camo and move to the river to locate their water caches. Teams will have to go into the river and locate the cache, tie it to a rope and drag it up and out of the river.
  • Teams will then drag the guidance system back to the JHOP to make the anti-aircraft missile operational.
  • In the fourth hour = 4 weeks; hostilities have ceased. The GORUCKLandian Liberation Forces have taken control of the GORUCKLandia interim government.
  • J-Bird and his wife have been blessed with new baby boy named Nicholas. Nicholas is an extremely large baby (40 pound sandbag). In order to properly baptize Nicholas, large buckets of sacred waters from the Little Miami River are needed to do this big job. There is one problem – the only way the sacred waters can be brought to the JHOP is by bucket. The baptism requires a very specific amount of the sacred waters which is measured via 4 large buckets.The teams both want to please their new friend J-Bird, so they rush to the river to bring back the sacred waters to earn his trust.
  • Pails of Pain – Task: move 4 buckets of sacred water to the top of the hill. Water in the buckets must be at or above the designated fill line.

Once a team gets 4 approved buckets to the top of the hill, the team is complete with the culminating exercise and will receive their earned patches from the G-Chief amidst a great celebration. Remaining teams, once they complete their work, will join in the festivities and a good time will be had by all.

Future operations will resume June 2020 (June 12-14 estimated) in GORUCKLandia aka God’s Country, Bellbrook, Ohio. Men will carry 45 pounds dry in their rucksacks. Due to the ongoing access and placement requirements in this struggle that only women can attain, there will also be a women’s division. All female ruckers will carry 20 pounds dry and will commence their operation three hours prior to the men. The gates will be managed completely separately and will be scaled accordingly at every movement. Two separate team champions will be awarded, one for women and one for men.

Pick your teammate wisely, train hard and show up ready. The future of GORUCKLandia depends on you.

    This is only recommended for long-time, highly
    experienced, or older customers who haven’t any issues about natural testosterone levels.
    Some believe very long cycles ranging from three to 9 months can deliver everlasting
    features. Testosterone Enanthate (Cypionate) is the compound most commonly utilized in a protracted cycle.
    As expected, the heightened danger of great side effects of these extra-long steroid cycles makes it a strategy that shouldn’t be
    taken lightly. Anabolic steroids are orally-ingested, artificial (man-made) drugs that
    act like testosterone. They trigger progress and improvement
    of male sexual organs, secondary sex traits, and will
    increase in muscle measurement and strength. But in contrast to males who will acquire
    little muscle with these “milder” steroids, girls will find that these are more than powerful sufficient to advertise good muscle gains, along with fats loss and efficiency
    advantages.
    You may also notice your capability to work out more durable and longer will increase as a
    result of vital boost to nitrogen retention and blood move that Dianabol
    offers. The substantial benefit is that Dianabol works
    shortly, and using it at the start of a bulking cycle provides the
    final word boost to your cycle. The largest factor you’re most likely serious about is,
    “Do I go together with orals or injectables? Orals are little doubt much less daunting than injecting for the first time, but it does significantly restrict the compounds you’ll have the flexibility to use, plus how long you’ll have the power to use it. While orals are easier to take, they come with poisonous side effects to the liver. Cycling requires a plan19, as you’ll determine how lengthy you want to take the steroid and how long the break in between might be when you cease using it. A cycle can range anyplace from a couple of weeks up to a quantity of months of usage, adopted by a period with either no steroid use in any respect or utilizing at a lower dosage.
    When androgen ranges are inadequate, nitric oxide (NO) concentrations lower. Adequate NO manufacturing is essential for the provision of blood to the penile tissue. Anadrol’s advantages largely mimic Dianabol’s, producing significant increases in muscle hypertrophy and power. Anadrol (oxymetholone) is thought to be one of the potent bulking steroids, producing barely extra weight accumulation than Dianabol in our expertise.
    Consequently, they required post-cycle remedy remedy to resurrect pure endogenous production. We have found Dianabol to be a poisonous oral steroid; thus, it incessantly reveals undesirable results on liver values, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Users can devour tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a liver assist complement, to scale back hepatic pressure. Dr. John Bosley Ziegler formulated Dianabol, meaning to create a compound extra anabolic than testosterone however less androgenic.
    According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), steady use of AASs can result in problems such as tolerance, which means an individual needs larger doses to realize the identical effects. Different analysis reveals that specializing in the prevention of high-risk conduct generally is usually a catchall to help ward off anabolic steroid use. Usa federal law enforcement officers have expressed concern about AAS use by cops. Common steroids, called corticosteroids, are medications that cut back irritation and the activity of your immune system. They’re manufactured medication that closely resemble cortisol, a hormone that your adrenal glands produce naturally.
    Additionally, many members used other medication concurrently with AAS, together with compounds with the potential to advertise hair loss, such as thyroid hormone. Extra hanging nonetheless is the booming self-medication with testosterone supplements. Testosterone “boosters”—often natural or vitamin‑based products—represent a $3.7 billion global market projected to just about double by 2030. This means there are 3 million users in the United States, and epidemiologic studies recommend as a lot as 30 percent of long-term AAS users may develop dependancy, some with co-occurring body picture issues. Research in medical trials and experiences in Olympic and skilled athletes have proven that elevated T will increase lean muscle mass, strength, and power. The proof is so compelling that the Olympics and skilled sports activities enforce bans on testosterone use because of the unfair advantage these AAS create. These bans to maintain truthful competition are additionally part of AAS’s attract among athletes, weekend warriors, and others.
    As the primary male natural steroid hormone, unmodified testosterone steroids (synthetic types of the hormone) are often the primary place we begin if using steroids for the first time. Frontloading Testosterone Enanthate can get your blood plasma levels up to 500mg much quicker. This involves taking a double dose of 1000mg on the primary day (or whatever shall be double the amount of your chosen common dosage). By this time, there shall be about 500mg of the primary dose in circulation, getting you again to 1000mg. Then proceed the cycle with 500mg per week, which means you don’t have downtime initially of the cycle while waiting for Testosterone Enanthate to reach its peak level. For efficiency enhancement, we are going to rarely want to wait till the steroid’s half-life is reaching a detailed level, as that’s when you’ll experience a drop in blood ranges of the steroid and a decline in consistent efficiency effects.
    I realized that time and again, and that’s what inspired me to learn as a lot as I might about steroids. I put just as much importance on diet and exercise as I do on steroids – in any case, doing gear is a complete waste of money and time if your food regimen sucks or if you’re not prepared to kill it within the health club at each single workout. Performance-enhancing medicine like steroids are illegal in newbie and professional sports activities, they usually usually end up doing serious hurt to the physique in addition to the thoughts. University Hospitals family medication doctor William Hein, DO, shares more. Detectable metabolites will remain around longer in the physique the more a steroid hormone is immune to metabolism. Eventually, the body will metabolize and excrete the steroid completely, however there isn’t any set interval, and this factor will differ between individuals. Some steroids are recognized to be extra proof against the body’s metabolism than others, a notable instance being Trenbolone.
    Steroid abuse carries important health dangers corresponding to heart problems, liver and brain harm and infertility. They’re often utilized in combination with different performance and image-enhancing medicine (this is called “stacking”) in addition to medication to counter the unwanted effects of steroids. This could possibly be in a misguided attempt to treat sexual dysfunction (that’s unrelated to respectable androgen deficiency), perceived “low T” or “male menopause”, or managing non-specific signs like tiredness.
    Cypionate has a half-life of roughly eight days, whereas Enanthate and Propionate have a brief elimination half-life of about four.5 days. For instance, Testosterone Undecanoate has a long half-life of over 20 days, and Phenylpropionate has a brief half-life of less than three days. And with that, I should add that everything you learn right here is predicated on my analysis and experience. I aim to share, educate, and allow you to attain your targets whereas I continue reaching and exceeding mine.
