Ended with C-O-A, N-O-A, the 6, Announcements and closed w/ C-O-T.

The 6 – I’ll volunteer to be the 6 for this Virtual Q. The 6 is something we do in the Toledo Region to continue to get to know different members of the group. After the C-O-A, whoever is number 6 will come into the middle of the group and provide answers to the following questions..

  • Who EH’d You? – A guy named Mary Lou out of Sylvania who I worked with and told me about it when he was getting up at 3 AM on a Saturday to do a 13 hour ruck…I was intrigued.
  • How did you get your name? – When I first started about 2 years ago, I wasn’t quite sure what the whole thing was about. We did Merkins, side straddle hops, and other named exercises that I figured must be a military thing. When we came to Lt. Dan’s I figured that must be one of the guys… I asked who Lt. Dan was and Jennay immediately became my name!
  • What keeps you coming back? – The group continues to push me to be my best physically, mentally, and spiritually. I grow everyday that I get to be around the men of this group and get to have real conversations about life – the stuff that really matters. I know that you all have my back and would not skip a beat to help a brother out.
