Circle of Trust
Talked briefly about the importance of water intake especially during warmer weather and shared about individual weight loss successes. Some success was only due to attending BD’s only. Some weight loss due to changes to diet, or other factors.
Naked Man Moleskin
Sun Tzu said, “…water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows…just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions.” Pre-blast included the following Scenario: You and your men are in a God forsaken jungle in South American; the temperature is 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, 119 degrees Fahrenheit in direct sunlight. Your squadron is responsible to keep its’ platoon alive by providing them with life preserving water. If you succeed then your platoon lives on, but they will not thank you for it. A matter of fact they will forever call you all the “Bobby Bouchered Bunch (B3)”, or “waterboys”, or quite possibly the “waterf—-ups”. If you don’t succeed then your platoon will take on many casualties and continue on with life long physical and mental health issues. Due to the distance between you and the high ground (our destination), staying in the shade will also keep you healthy and best of all, alive. How the heck did you get here? You volunteered, remember?
