Yea, but what about air strikes, interlocking fields of fire, or fragging the room?

A few thoughts on the topic of the theoretical “what if” and deflection based on lack of skills.

1. Having a team is a bad reason to excuse poor individual skills. Shooting and moving is an individual skill- when you dovetail high performers together to create team, platoon, and company level skills, the ceiling can be raised across the board. To put it bluntly- if you suck at an individual level you probably also suck in a team.

2. The goal is not to be ready for “what if.” The point is to be ready for “whatever” because this is a dangerous job and it requires you to enter the unknown. We don’t always get to pick the time and place and we need to be able to swing the odds in our direction even when the plan goes to s**t. Individual skills free up the team to maneuver and execute.

3. Putting your sights on target and getting a round off is about as simple of a task as it gets- adding layers of complexity does not make this easier if you suck at it when it’s daylight on a flat range with no kit on. All else being equal, doing it really fast and accurate slick moves your baseline to allow you to go faster in kit.

Stress is total and cumulative- so if your recovery isn’t there it’s actually counter productive to go insanely hard- on some things. On others you can likely go full potato- and that’s built into our algorithm.

TECH & SFLT 3E APP UPDATE

A new build is live. Make sure you’re on the latest version from the App Store / Google Play, and then restart a couple of times to get the latest OTA.

Buy-ins and cash-outs. When a workout starts with a 1500m row or ends with a carry, that effort can now sit outside of the rounds, timed and ranked on its own board. Your rounds and score count the rounds. Nothing else.

Circuits read as one block. Supersets, AMRAPs, EMOMs, and for-time pieces now show as a single unit, not a pile of separate cards.

Screen stays on. No more phone locking between sets. That one came in this morning in the app’s Comms area and was done inside of an hour.

Readiness you can trust. Wear a Garmin and sync Apple Health or Health Connect? Your phone’s data takes priority now, and a day the watch sat on the charger won’t drag your score down.

Garmin is almost there. We wrapped testing of a new native Garmin integration this week after Terra, our upstream provider, was kicked to the curb. We’ll be flipping it live on Monday once the holdouts update their apps.

More cycles loaded. We built an AI-assisted importer to help pull cycles from the old app, and we’ve added over 18 in the past 10 days (more when you count variants). If you’re waiting for something, let me know, and I’ll fast-track it.

Also fixed: Enroll & Start works on the first tap, and long movement names fit on screen.

Most of this came straight from you. Keep the feedback coming.

The GWOT had so many commanders looking at the priority of a deployment being “survival” that most guys have forgotten the job is to locate, close with, and kill the enemy.

The thing is, they weren’t being calculated, they were being pu***es hiding behind Hesco’s who were afraid to be aggressive.

Speed matters. Train accordingly.

Should operators be taking creatine on ops?

The research suggests creatine can be a massively powerful tool for combating fatigue and TBI.

Creatine Isn’t Just for Your Muscles: What the Research Says About Your Brain For decades, creatine has been treated like the unofficial dietary supplement of dudes who own stringer tank tops. Take creatine. Lift heavy things. Get bigger. Simple enough. Except your muscles aren't the only tissue i...

The magic happens at a 20% failure rate.

If every rep looks perfect, you aren’t going fast, heavy, or far enough.

Train harder, suck less.

There $1,000 on the line for this drill.

Before the r***e is ever issued, the gear fitted, or the first round fired, the individual is physically tested to ensure they can do hard things consistently over time.

After earning the right to be there, they are then placed in a team where they are expected to both learn and contribute to the mission. Every man is expected to move to an objective, fight upon arrival, and be able to move their dead or wounded.

Train accordingly.

The goal: you and the boys get fu**in jacked.
