I'm up in Jax. I'd prefer localized chapters with a statewide organization, personally. It would allow more frequent meetings in general and then linking up for a big event. I'd think it would also make recruitment easier to have multiple hubs. |

I cant hump out 90lbs all day anymore....and 50 even exceeds my weights for ruck or fighting gear due to injuries and age. But once back on track ill give it a go. Worse case we put you on the CPF( cooler protection force) and assign you grill duty while on Ops.

I'm in for a meet and greet. Until I'm healed up good. I can't hike right now. Just had total knee replacement on my left knee.
Or I can be the medic at hike. Played to hard in my careers. Climbing a 10 story ladder at 70° angle every shift. When I was on the ladder truck. Plus what I did in batt. Worn my knee out. 
I might be able to do it if it's not a force march and not 20 miles. I'm long over this no pain no gain. I've paid my bill in full on that one.
Just read link. There's no way I can meet those hiking standards right now. Now having just had surgery. Damn it that sucks. |

@leftytheking Thanks for the organization...I was thinking along the same lines but hadn't gotten-round to it.
I'm down for a state-wide organization and will do my best to attend. The time commitment for any travel can be a concern. I think some of the success in VA is they can do a late afternoon hike or something early and avoid committing a full day to the event. More like 3-4 hours total. Statewide events may take a 3-4 hour driving commitment or overnight depending upon location. I can do more frequent local meetups. |

We have to be a counter to that. This is just what I’ve noticed from past events. I will say that I’ve slacked my ass at this it I will improve. |

I'm in... I live in north Lake county but can drive just about anywhere.
Only potential problem is my job, I work alternating weekends and have a TON of shit on the side. I used to run a lot but knee surgery two years ago put an end to that... I'm pretty sure I can hike to hell and back though. My place in Jefferson county (35 miles east of Tallahasee) could possibly serve as a meeting place... not only is it out in the boonies sort of, with a dirt road through the woods that would provide a hiking route, I have a place to shoot, build a fire, and socialize. |

Hopefully I can be a part of the next planned event. |
