Ruck The Fuck Up

In special operations, RTFU has two meanings. The literal, “Put your ruck on, we need to go,” and the metaphorical, “Knock off your whinging and get your head right because we’re about to do some hard shit.”

I’ve done a lot of rucking and a lot of hard shit. That is what this substack is all about.

I have another newsletter, Walking Point, which comes out each Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m. and focuses on the idea of "Getting Better at Getting Better." It is more philosophical and contains far fewer F-bombs. You should check it out here:

WALKING POINT

If I were you, I would subscribe to both to get full access to the newsletters and publication archives.
