YHC’s (Your Humble Correspondent’s) 28th birthday started out eerily similar to last year with Space Monkey picking him up and chauffeuring him to the workout. However, the circumstances warranting the ride were much more enjoyable this year (a long drive out to RuckHill today compared to a wrecked vehicle last year). For a full description, check out the backblast from a year ago. http://f3rva.org/2018/01/17/birthday-q-and-goodbye-to-the-civic/
6 PAX (1 FNG) at RuckHill. YHC introduced himself to two PAX this morning. FNG (Tread) who was EH’d while rucking by McGruff and a long-time PAX member Abba who has shaven his beard off. Without it, YHC did not even recognize him at zero dark thirty.
