All of us have some darkness inside of us - aggression, anger, hatred - the idea isn't to get rid of it. The idea is to realize it exists for a reason, and once you learn how to leverage it without it corroding you, you'll have the ability to push through the hardest of times.

brute.strength The absolute best, the world class, etc. They all have one thing in common: They are obsessed. In sport, this manifests itself like this. Food becomes fuel. Sleep becomes recovery. Working out becomes "training." Vacations become a distraction from training. Negative people are cut out as quickly as possible. Everything must revolve around the one goal. Life happens and unforeseen challenges arise along the way. This happens to everyone. Weak people give up after one failure. Average people give up after 10. Good people after 100. And the best just never give up.

Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, "The Chiefs" have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate "The Chief" in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs. Thanks to them and their families for their self-sacrifice, ability to adapt, tireless dedication to mission and devotion to country.

Wednesday- HERO "PK"

Today we honor "PK"

Andrew Pedersen-Keel – “PK” to those who loved him – was born on June 8, 1984 in South Miami, FL but he grew up in Connecticut, living in Wallingford, Canton and Madison. He attended Avon Old Farms High School in Avon, CT, graduating in 2002. After earning a Bachelor of Science in American Legal Studies from the United States Military Academy and being commissioned as an Infantry Officer, Andrew entered the United States Army in May of 2006. He deployed with A Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment in support of OEF IIX and IX as an executive officer in June of 2008. He was selected for a second platoon leadership position in September 2008 with 3rd Platoon, B Company. He remained with 3rd Platoon, B Company for the duration of that deployment. As a Platoon Leader in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, Andrew led his platoon in over 150 combat foot patrols and three air assault operations in an area of operations that included five different villages.

In November 2009, Andrew attended Special Forces Assessment and Selection. By September of 2010, he had graduated from the Maneuver Captains Career Course at Fort Knox, KY and he began the Special Forces Qualification Course in November 2010. During this time, Andrew studied Pashto, one of the two official languages of Afghanistan. Andrew graduated from his Special Forces Qualification Course in 2011 and was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group where he served as an ODA Commander until his deployment to Afghanistan in August 2012 as an ODA Commander. In March of 2013, he was team leader of ODA 3126.

On the morning of March 11, 2013, Captain Andrew Michael Pedersen-Keel was concluding a patrol briefing when a 20 year-old Afghan jumped into the back of an Afghan police pickup truck, grabbed the machine gun mounted on the truck bed, and mowed down the Special Forces team. Andrew was mortally wounded.

Also killed was Staff Sgt. Rex Schad, 26, of Oklahoma and the team's Military working dog, BAK. Our troops were betrayed by a purported brother-in-arms, an Afghan National Policeman in the Jalrez District of Wardak Province. Wardak is a strategic location at the southern gateway to Kabul. It is a violent nest of insurgency with a very rugged mountain terrain. Special Forces teams are striving to improve the training and mentoring of the Afghan police and military as well as to help achieve a breakthrough for local governance. At the time of his death, Captain Pedersen-Keel was deeply involved in training the Afghan Army as part of the transition plan for U.S. withdrawal.

GEORGIE

AMRAP in 21min of:
  7 Burpees 
 11 Push-UPs 
 22 KB Swings (53/35)



This workout was originally posted on marinewod.com on April 9, 2017 and shared with us by George's sister, Jolene Taylor.

"My brother George didn’t work out much due to his health. So I tried to just do something that he did when he was in the service that we remembered him talking about which were the push ups and sit ups. He and I use to run as well. I can tell you some about Georgie. I always called him Georgie where most others said George. He was the youngest of 3 kids, but most stubborn as far as he always did things his way which didn’t mean it was the best way or right way but usually meant it was the harder way and never doing things he didn’t want to do. He always wanted to be a Marine and joined the Marine Corps straight out of High School in 1984 to 1988. He was a type 1 diabetic. This was something he struggled with after getting out of the Marines till his death.

George was taken at the young age [of 51]. Born 7-22-1965 and passed 12-25-2016. He lived by the motto "Once a Marine Always A Marine!" Anyone who knew Georgie knew he was most proud of his service as a Marine. No matter how bad his struggles were he never lost the pride of being in the Marine Corp. He loved serving his country and actually tried to rejoin the Marine Corp but due to his diabetes and health issues he wouldn’t be able to. You almost never saw him without wearing Marine Attire, especially his cap. Also anyone who knew him no matter from where or when or circumstance would always say how open and loving his personality was and his humor was loved by everyone and could make anyone and everyone laugh and come up with a imitation or hilarious saying on the drop of a hat. Georgie had a complete natural charm. Always smiling and thankful. I can hear him now saying “Thank yee” and I “persheate it” haha. Georgie had a military upbringing and so much like his father, carried the same name but Jr, so proud of being in the US Marine Corp and loved so much being around Veterans and listening to them. Our dad served in the Navy and then worked and retired as the deputy director for the Dept. of Veterans Affairs helping other veterans. Our Uncle was injured and shot in the head during D-Day and earned a purple heart.

His family loves and misses him dearly. This WOD was created in hopes to bring a smile and honor his loving memory." - Jolene Taylor

2️⃣ Glycolytic (or lactate) dominates moderate-powered
activities, those that last up to several minutes. A workout like Fran or a 400-meter run is an example of this.

3️⃣ Oxidative (or aerobic) dominates low-powered activities, those that last in excess of several minutes. Benchmark workouts such as “Cindy” or “Kelly,” or running a 5K are examples of this.

New Regs Mean Marines Will Have a Harder Time Passing Fitness Tests Next Year
The effort is meant to up the standards for all Marines, who will be pushed to strive for higher scores and better athleticism across the board, said Col. Stephen Armes, director of the Marine Corps' Force Fitness Division.

"I think, as with any [physical fitness] program, you have to modify it and adapt it," Armes told Military.com. "If you continue doing the same thing year in and year out, you're not going to get any better."
