When DaVinci asked me to Q the Halloween workout. I knew exactly what I was going to do.  Pulled out a favorite.  The beatdown is designed to help introduce being a Q to newer PAX.  As we took off we had all verteran Q’s so I figured this would be an easy concept to understand.  Pick a candy from the bowl, read it off, lead to PAX in performing the exercise.   Well that’s what I thought.  Some guys struggled with reading the papers and some struggled with counting.  So remedial Q school was in session.

Mosey to warm up, Mosey to the Thang.

If reps is less than 10 do ten.

After a slow start and some retraining the pace picked up.  Added a running loop around the parking lot after each PAX picked and lead the exercises.  Witch Hunt was pushing hard to get through the entire bowl of candy until Bart pulled Whoppers out.  After 29 burpees he wasn’t as eager and was on a sugar high. fortunately time ran out and had to mosey back to the COT.

Was an honor to lead the PAX.  Great mumble chatter this morning.
