For all of our non-cadet, non-USAFA warriors, Here's a brief description of Recognition is. After going through Basic Cadet Training and being introduced to the USAFA version of the military, freshman cadets are subjected to a 3 day adventure featuring lots of functional exercises and calisthenics. Any crossfitter would cream their pants just to get to experience it firsthand. Of course, though I cannot devulge much detail as to specifically what goes on, or I could go to jail or possibly get banned by USAFA. All I can tell you is that NO! you cannot bring your paleo food to Mitches because you won't get enough calories to sustain you, and NO you cannot have a break in between all the mayhem because we don't group by WODs. All I can say is they mess with your sanity and put you in a position to test your resolve and your ability to bounce back from adversity. Yeah, your typical CrossFit stuff...




Oh yeah, soo glad that nobody snapped their shit during WOD 12.3. I did, however, get to say "I told you so" to Drywall

Hopefully HQ will figure out that high rep Box jumps are a 1 way ticket to snap city
