Happy Veteran's Day everybody! To all those who have served and are still serving, thank you for everything.
Just in case you want to experience a little taste of what we do in boot camp, you can take the quiz we had this morning. Get the question right, you get less exercise. Get it wrong, do more. Or as one of my old coaches used to say. Get it right , do it light. Get it wrong, do it long. Genius.
