10 Pax answered the call from the previous night’s Twitter chatter for a YHC tribute workout to fallen GRT, Jerome Gonzalez. This is a workout YHC has been wanting to do since weekend of Feb. 16th, and finally took advantage of the opportunity. So, not to get into a lot details, but Jerome was a fellow GRT (that’s GORUCK Tough for you non-ruckers) that sustained a very untimely passing during this year’s Joe Warner Bragg Heavy. He is survived by a wife and two children and by all accounts was a great person and friend to many others in the rucking community. R.I.P. brother!
Conditions: about 50 deg, cloudy
