Since this past weekend was the 28th anniversary of ‘The Battle of Mogadishu, YHC decided to do a little something to bring up the topic. Have always had a soft spot for this one and have recently used the anniversary to continue to remind myself what those Men faced. So, to do our best to Honor them we did a little ‘Moss Mile’ out the greenway and back. Wanted it to be a little tough so quick pace with exercises periodically both out and back. Some of the following was accomplished: Merkins, Squats, WWIIs, Burpees, Bear Crawls, Derkins, Incline Merks, Step ups, etc. All to the theme of (what should have been) 19 reps each. (to honor the number of KIA during that battle, but due to my total Q fail we only did 18 reps. (was mistaken on the number of KIA #research)

Anyway, nowadays there are lots of info out there regarding details of this battle. Of course Black Hawk Down the movie but the book also and there are several other great books capturing first hand accounts. I challenge you to spend a few minutes and dig into it (just Google it)! And if you’re up for a GoRuck event, Every year they have ‘Battle of Mogadishu’ themed events. If you’re lucky enough, you may just get a Cadre that was actually as there are a few in the ranks.

Thanks for playing along this morning, Gents!

Aye! RLTW
