QIC was juggling workout ideas until late yesterday, eventually said to himself out loud, “Screw it, we’ll just do burpees.”

Rounds of ascending/descending burpees in 3’s with 5 merkins, 10 squats, and 20 high knees in between burpee rounds. Done in pairs of PAX to pace, do your burpee then your partner does his burpee, the exercise counts are individual not cumulative

Round 1: 3 burpees, 5 merkins, 10 squats, 20 high knees

Round 2: 6 burpees, 5 merkins, 10 squats, 20 high knees

Round 3: 9 burpees, 5 merkins, 10 squats, 20 high knees

Round 4: 12 burpees, 5 merkins, 10 squats, 20 high knees

Round 5: 15 burpees, 5 merkins, 10 squats, 20 high knees

Active recovery: all PAX mosey a lap together

COT

As Memorial Day approaches lets remember it’s purpose, to remember and honor those men and women who gave their lives during service to our country, especially those killed in action. QIC encourages each PAX to not just do this generically this holiday but to seek out a name, a face, and a story of a veteran who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend what we hold so dear in our country. QIC told those present of Corporals Binh Le and Matthew Wyatt, USMC, who defended their fellow Marines from a charging truck bomb in Iraq in December 2003. Le and Wyatt could have ducked for cover to save themselves, but instead engaged the enemy and killed the driver. Unfortunately the truck plowed ahead, exploding and killing Wyatt and Le and injuring 6 others. From firsthand reports, the casualties would have been far worse had Wyatt and Le not put themselves in danger. Corporal Matthew Wyatt was awarded the Bronze Star with “V” device for valor and Corporal Binh Le, a Vietnamese citizen living in America and serving our country, was posthumously granted American citizenship.
