"La Marseillaise"

At this point, I think of CNAS as akin to Rick's Cafe in Casablanca. Who plays piano?

Quite frankly, I imagine you have a lovely singing voice, but perhaps a burpee AMRAP WOD would be the most appropriate to signal respect?

Congrats to Demo. Ex, thanks for posting.

I'm confused.
Didn't Abu M write a blog saying that awards should be limited or cut out of the military???
So why the kudos for a foreign award??
