He began fulfilling his ROTC obligation with the US Army following the ’68 season and started his tour of duty in Vietnam in November of 1969, where he served with Battery C, 2nd Battalion, 11th Artillery, 101st Airborne Division. His MOS was 1193-Field Artillery Unit Commander. LT Bob Kalsu was killed by mortar fire on July 21,1970 at Firebase Ripcord near the Ashau Valley.
What a mighty workout that is. No doubt will have a special place in Coach DB’s heart.
Boomer Sooner to all who give this one their all tomorrow!
You rock Dani. Stay strong physically on this one but tough and smart mentally as well. RIP KALSU
Field Artillery: King of Battle! If you have them, wear red socks tomorrow in honor of this hero.
Travis Taylor is one bad-to-the-bone CrossFitter. I can’t wait to see what Sean Woodland and Pat Sherwood have to say about all of Travis’ achievements when he makes it to the CrossFit Games.
Travis T lifting heavy and looking strong! Keep it up dude! 🙂
The scientist about to explode out of the bottom like a flippin’ rocket! Travy-T!
Hot dang! My man Travis locked and loaded in the bottom of the ferocious Front Squat. Bet he ain’t scared one bit.
Travis is a great friend & a super good athlete who works hard all the time. Awesome Job Big T. 💪🇺🇸
My brother Travis !! The most goal focused guy I’ve ever met. There is nothing he can’t accomplish when he decides he is going to do it.
37:45 RX
This WOD was insanely brutal.
Travis knocking out the front squat! This guy is always putting in the extra work after the wod to get stronger and faster.
It is too bad he probably won’t see this since he is in Nashville going to the Guns N Roses concert.
Travis isn’t just a great CrossFitter, he’s a great person.
