Not recovering well? Try a de-load week. When gains are slowing, and your body isn't recovering as well, you might need to take a week or two and lower your volume. Now, some people might need to drop down to only do light movement and walking, but most of us can simply slash our volume to a third of what we normally do. This keeps our muscles engaged but limits the load so they recover quickly. I'm doing a de-load week in prep for my Spartan races this weekend, although the timing is also good since I wasn't recovering well recently. Sometimes, you just need the rest! #veterans #military #weightloss #eatright #mentalhealth #mindsetcoach

Horse: Revelation 9:16 These numbers are greatly abused. The Greeks did not count by groups of 10^3 (one chiliarch) as we do. 10^4 (one myriad) is a perfectly logical number; the size of a legion (one myriad = ten chiliarchs): two legions. The number of infantry is followed by the number of cavalry; with grooms and other attendants, about 5,000 per legion, allowing a sustained combat of about 1250 (one fourth); the cavalry lasting only a few minutes in combat, before they had to change steeds: in all, a full cavalry for 2 legions, would be about 1,0000 (note the deliberate displacement of the comma) horses, riders, grooms and all. The numbers must be read infantry/cavalry, 2,0000/1,0000. All other analyses are grossly inflammatory and deliberately provocative. Soli Deo Gloria.

🏅 Valor Recognized: The Silver Star Award in Retrospect The recent awarding of the Silver Star Medal to retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores, over three decades after the Battle of Mogadishu, reminds us of the enduring significance of military bravery and sacrifice. This event highlights not just an individual act of valor but also brings into focus the broader context of military operations and their lasting impacts. 📆 Tracing the Event’s Roots and Progression Moores’ recognition stems from his actions during Operation Gothic Serpent in Somalia in 1993, a mission known for its intensity and challenges. The delay in acknowledging his bravery raises questions about how military achievements are recognized over time. 🌍 Implications and Reflections How does this belated recognition impact our view of military history and honors? Does it prompt a reevaluation of other similar instances where valor may have gone unrecognized for years? 🗨️ Join the Conversation I invite you to share your thoughts on the importance of recognizing military achievements, both past and present. How do such acknowledgments shape our understanding of history and the sacrifices made by those in uniform? #MilitaryHistory #SilverStar #Leadership #ValorRecognition 🎖️💬 For more insights on this story, visit Task & Purpose’s article:

Alright, Marines, let’s not pretend we joined the Corps because we were destined for MENSA. We may not be splitting atoms or calculating complex equations, but when it comes to fighting and winning America’s battles since 1775, nobody does it better. The DIA United States Marine Corps Veteran T-Shirt is for all of us who know that our true genius is found on the battlefield, not in a classroom. While others may have higher ASVAB scores, we’ve got something more important—the grit, guts, and heart to get the job done when it matters most. We weren’t made for anything else because we’re damn good at what we do. While some might have been destined for office life, we were born to storm beaches and defend this country like no one else can. The Corps shaped us into something greater than the sum of our ASVAB scores, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Once a Marine, always a Marine. So, if you know you were built for battle and you’re damn proud to wear the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, get your shirt today. It’s not about intelligence—it’s about knowing you’re part of the best fighting force in history.
