OPERATION: VBSS Final Sunset
Situation:
While the US and NATO efforts have severely improved the living conditions in Iraq for the general population, there are still cells that remain well armed and determined to undermine efforts to restore peace. It is widely known that they are receiving their financial and arms backing from outside the country. A main tactical strategy in finishing the work in Iraq is to disrupt the shipments of arms and supplies to insurgent groups.
Intelligence sources report that the Yemeni cargo ship ‘Setting Sun’ is being loaded with supplies and weapons in the port city of Mukala, Yemen. The destination of for the off load of the cargo is suspected to be Bushehr, Iran, where it will most likely be smuggled into Iraq to resupply insurgent groups.

Notes:
As noted in the Mission Timeline, Speed, Surprise, and Violence of Action are required for mission success. In the workout this means that you cannot take a break to catch your breath. You are moving through a large ship that seems more like a maze of catacombs where one mistep could mean you missing a cue, which could cost you your life.

alright lets do this
This was a killer workout. It worked amazingly well when we divided up into “fire teams” of two because you bottom out barely a third into the workout and the rest of the workout is on willpower. When you do it with a buddy, you can do a lot to motivate each other. Fantastic workout.
David,
It was a pleasure to train with you. You are an awesome athlete, and I look forward to meeting up again in the future. I wish you all the best in reaching your Brass Ring.
Tackled this week because the equipment was available (didn’t have access to a pool). Finished the insertion in 16.40 with only a few ‘breaths’ for the pushups. The pullups on the other hand… sheesh. Maybe it’s the Christmas holiday or I’m just weak there, but those were a kick in the pants. All in all, 36.23. Great workout, Rob, and I’m looking forward to giving these swimming FMP’s a real go.
