For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
-Isaiah 9:6

“Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.”
-Ronald Reagan

“It’s at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys.”

This is a good day at BUD/s – a classic frogman PT. As a point of reference in case you think this looks tough, Admiral S. (retired SEAL) will routinely do 200 dead hang pull-ups and 1,000 sit-ups for time. Dynamic stretching is distinct from static stretching. Walking lunges, straight leg high kicks, walking lunge with a twists, arm rotations, etc. are all good examples – the goal is to warm up your limbs and muscles using movements similar to the work to be performed.
