TClaps to Incoming on bringing the heat in his first Q. Awesome preparation and good delivery. Welcome FNGs Mr. Rogers and Skippy. I know the first workout is tough, but you survived and hopefully caught a glimpse of the comradery the PAX has. Thank you Riddler for spending time getting to know our new guys. I appreciate your efforts to help our newest guys feel included. Special thanks to #SpitzArmy for joining us south of the river (Cake Boss, Dark Helmet, Maximus, Zima, Mr. Clean, Spitz, Sir Topham Hat, Double D, Gears, Sweeper, CSPAN, Corruption, Crash, and Lil’ E). It is always a pleasure to spend time in the gloom with my brothers. Excellent work again by our #Respects (Spitz, Samurai, Capt. Kangaroo, and Pistol). Iron Sights and Choir Boy, thanks for sharing this thing we call F3 with our FNGs. Our community needs more #HIM like the ones in which we share the Gloom. Another strong day by our veterans Mayhem, Reborn, Schrute, Sgt. York, and Apache. Hotsauce, you’re teetering on vet status, and after your Q last week, I’ll add you to the list. Awesome effort by our youngest PAX, Van Gogh. Soon enough you’ll be faster than your Pops. I think it’s time to get some of our newer guys on the Q schedule (looking at you Slow Pitch, Honeypot, Lil’ Bear, and Kelvin). Don’t forget to post tomorrow in support of Bill Nye’s VQ. Something tells me school will be in session.

Incoming spoke today about humility and how none of us can know what others are going through. When he was a junior in high school, he realized his parents couldn’t afford to pay for his college. So, he found the best way he could figure it out; he joined the National Guard. Incoming went to basic training during the summer of his Jr. and Sr. year of high school and then finished his training after graduation. Several years went by and while he was serving for one of his annual trainings, he was tasked with doing a nightly stand down. As he was scanning the perimeter, he saw his opposing force trying to get past his lines. He trained his 50 caliber machine gun on them and realized the remorse he would feel with himself if he took another man’s life. He finished his enlistment and left the Service. He elaborated that many of our brothers and sisters in the armed services are placed in that situation and they aren’t as lucky as he was to just to be training. We all have the same goal in life – to get through today and have hope for tomorrow. Sometimes circumstance define the choices we make and every day is our opportunity to be the better #HIM.
