4.1.25 April Fool's Ruck @ Coronado
Mission Statement
Five Core Principles

32F with very little wind.
Clear skies but no sign of StarLink this morning.
13 men followed the Q's instructions and showed up with their prescribed coupons in tow. Well done, Pax!

However, we left all the Cindys alone with the shovel flag while we embarked on our weekly edition of celebrating Lt. Michael Murphy and his ultimate sacrifice. The April Fool's joke was a success, and no hard feelings were absorbed by the pax as we are all bigger than getting our Ranger Panties in a wad over a good joke.

Death, Taxes, and Murph on Tuesday is how Fat Amy put it…
So, naturally, we performed a standard Murph as usual. No DMX was on the "Zeke & Dad Roadtrip Playlist", but it did contain the following hits:

Born For This-The Score
Never Going Back-The Score
Dead Man Walking-Jeremy Camp
Whatever It Takes-Imagine Dragons
Unstoppable God-Elevation Worship
Take It All Back-Judah and The Lion
Bang-AJR
Don't Stop Believin'-Journey
Never Going Back-The Score
Keep Me In The Moment-Jeremy Camp
Venom- Eminem
Astronaut In The Ocean-Masked Wolf

It was only fitting that we played a little baseball on this Opening Day.
YHC created a diamond from chalk and at each of the bases I made large circles approximately 10' in diameter. All pax moseyed up a small hill about 30' up and away from the diamond and one pax tossed 1 bean bag and attempted to land it in a circle. If successful, he would turn over one of the 3 playing cards located in the circle. All pax would then perform that exercise and said card would be removed from play. Missing a circle with the bag resulted in 10 Absolutions (later modified to Freddie Mercuries since we missed the circles more than I assumed we would).

Playlist included all baseball themed songs including:
Willie, Mickey, and The Duke
Centerfield
Enter Sandman
Glory Days
Wild ThingCrazy Train
Sweet Caroline
Hard To Handle
Tuff Enuff
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Ghost Busters
