Naked Man Moleskin
This BD was dedicated to the VQ’s father who served his Country for 55 years. Mr. Brooks had served his Country as an officer and helicopter pilot, among other things. A major difference between this BD and the normal PT performed by Mr. Brooks, was that while in service, Mr Brooks would do a 5-mile run in 20 zero weather afterwards. Those officers did that 5 days a week…back in “the day.” -Respect
With a few exceptions, the music played during this BD was a variety of music enjoyed during the VQ’s youth. A small discussion about the benefits of listening to music enjoyed as a youth can be excellent for mental health. Also mentioned was the use of weights during workouts/walks are equally beneficial to the human brain/ mental health. Special note: Arctic Monkey packed up items and markers back into the Q’s little car afterwards.
