This weekend was a UGSS and there was a lot going on. I got to catch up with some teammates I hadn't seen in some time and got to meet some new ones. In-particularly JP Carroll (his log here: https://www.elitefts.com/author/jp-carroll/ ) who is strong as an ox and a good guy.

Over the years the climate of the UGSS weekends has changed and I can't say for the better or worse just different. Things are a lot more diverse now than they used to be and that is cool but the competition between teammates is a lot less because of it. Everyone is more supportive of each other now but sometimes it was motivating to be called out and kicked in the ass.
