Temporary Archive: Suzanne Brockmann's Message Board

Today, on the treadmill I decided I would do more than my regular workout. So I was wondering if I should kick up the speed, increase the incline or maybe both. Right then I had an epiphany and I knew it was the perfect time to use our new motto WWASD!

So I began to focus and like a mantra, I began to chant "What would a SEAL do? What would a SEAL do ? What would a SEAL do ?"

Then suddenly, a voice in my head said "Oh, get real.... he would have run laps around your a** by now and hit the showers!

So the obvious question is..........Where did I go wrong?

Tom,

I was thinking about speed in relation to team operations (nice segue, eh?)

First, is it true the new guy has to carry the 50 caliber(?) weapon?

Also, I've heard the saying "You are only as fast as your slowest guy" and then you said with your gear on you're adding another 135 lbs to 185 lbs. So how fast can anyone really be with an additional 150 lbs on them? And how much of a factor is speed?

Care to share your expertise?
