We'll scale the workout for our newest members. When you read the description of the workout and you think, "this is going to be difficult", know that you are correct in your assessment and accept the challenge. Michael Murphy and his fellow SEALs were heavily outnumbered on a mountain side. They were numerically and positionally at a great disadvantage. The firefight lasted 2 hours. Michael Murphy had to leave a position of cover and step into the open, knowing the enemy would easily target him, in order to get radio reception to get his team help. While taking enemy fire he still had the presence of mind and character to say, "thank you" to the person he was speaking to on the radio.
Allow this hero's story to provide perspective when you begin thinking that the workout is "difficult".

Evans "writes about soldiers and veterans, particularly from the point of view of military folks and families living on Long Island and New York City.
Soldiers and their families here don’t have the luxury of living near big military bases, where people tend to be more understanding of the mess they go through.
That’s where I come in. Welcome to Inside the Wire, where people talk straight and have your back."
