Sergeant Tony's Blog

In the critically acclaimed HBO mini-series “Band of Brothers,” we learned of a small mountain in Georgia called “Currahee.” It was made famous because the first generation of paratroopers had to run from their base to the top of that mountain and back as a part of their daily training. “Three miles up, three miles down!” they chanted.

Currahee is a Cherokee Indian word meaning, “We stand alone together.”

I think that’s one of the things that I like so much about the dynamic of USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP. We work individually at our own individual maximum, yet we do it together. None of us are training to jump into occupied France on D-Day. But there are still reasons for us to work hard: personal pride, the sense of accomplishment, the satisfaction of meeting a difficult challenge … and the loss of unneeded ugly fat!

If you’re reading this and it’s been a while since you stepped on the Quarterdeck to take your place with “the few, the proud” then it’s time to get back to it!

“CURRAHEE!!”
