How
It
All Started

It's been a journey.

I'm finally here, man what an experience. The depths of my despair showed me how badly I wanted to live; as I was flailing I couldn't let go, I knew there had to be a way forward. Plan C SNAFU was born. The idea that I kept scribbling about like a mad man was bigger than my personal issues and this showed me that there was more to life than my own life. That I needed to keep going and see what this would become. So Plan C SNAFU became my way out. My way forward. I got out of that hole. I became mentally bulletproof after literally pulling myself from the darkness to the light one day at a time for months. I kept my gym membership when I had no money for food and ran there daily, and watched military training videos constantly. Going to the gym was on the principle that if I could keep making the effort of just getting there, I could keep getting myself out of the hole. And that if these guys could keep moving forward against the possibility of death, then I could do the same.

 

Hi my name's Tas. I have been learning and experimenting with fitness training for 13 years. I love to run and I love functional endurance training. Although I've never been in the military, I, like many of you out there, appreciate the intensity of the training soldiers are put through. I graduated from a personal training school in California and have been certified by NASM. I am bringing my enthusiasm and desire to build a community of intense, motivated individuals to Budapest and greater Hungary.

 

Sitrep Gym Club is my idea of a powerful, fitness focused organization. If you're not familiar with the term Sit Rep, it means 'Situation Report'. A military term used when requesting an update on the current situation.

 

One day at a time I push myself to become stronger even if that means taking a day or half a day to do some research. Taking time to further improve my clarity on the best way to attack my current goal. How best to approach, practice and execute the task at hand.

 

I love to teach and share my ideas and the training within SRGC reflects this. Nothing should be kept a secret if it can help those around us accomplish our shared objectives or support them in theirs. Everyone can offer some insight from their experience and should be given full allowance to do so. We are in this together for each other. SRGC is focused on one thing: Creating A Way Forward. We can do this best as a cohesive group. Let's go make it happen!

SITREPCORP began, as many meaningful things do, in the quiet, often difficult, spaces of personal experience. It was born from rough nights, rough days. Months spent pushing through one difficult setback after another. But reaching this difficult period of time came from the initial decision to leave the known and walk into the unknown; to move to a new country.
 

The constant search for 'how can I make this harder' leads to long walks along the edge of risk vs. reward. Staying on the edge and not falling off requires a balancing act of maintaining clarity of intent or finding it as quickly as possible. The founder and the founding collective that formed, knew these shadows intimately. They understood that feeling of being mired, stuck, yet possessing an unyielding, deeply rooted need to push forward. This wasn't about forgetting the darkness, but acknowledging it. Carrying it, even, but refusing to be solely defined by it. This core conviction – Remembering Why we are Creating a Way Forward – became the bedrock.
 

This wasn't just a workout regimen or a weekend hobby; it was a lifestyle, an attitude. That's where SITREPCORP began to take shape – not just as a name, but as an identity for those who understood this, lived with this mentality. The name itself – SITREP, a military term for Situation Report, grounded the brand in awareness and assessment, paired with Corp which showed structure; the two halves reflected each other in purpose and ideology. SITREPCORP is the honest portrayal of effort. Structured assessment and a soldier's mentality to push forward against the incoming threat or obstacles. SITREPCORP is about overcoming, enduring, finding strength in the struggle, in the chaos, in the pain, in the darkness. Maintain awareness. Drive forward. Overcome.
 

This ties into the same meaning of Plan C SNAFU. All of the above can be said for this branding as well. You are on plan C because plan A and B fell through, and there is no Plan D. Plan And B failed because the situation is All Fucked Up. Like SITREP, SNAFU is a military term, this one means Situation Normal All Fucked Up. That ties directly to the branding of Situation Normal. Situation Normal reflects in simple terms the mentality of perseverance through the SNAFU we are in. As is mentioned above about SITREPCORP and Plan C, and exemplifies the hardships we face willingly or unwillingly. Our familiarity with turbulence and living with darkness allows us to throw ourselves into the middle of the chaos. We are always willing to take on the next challenge. Ready for the next thing to overcome, to conquer. We can say that this is Situation Normal for us.
