ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
YHC was honored to lead the Pax at Q School at Ring of Fire. T-claps to Cake Boss for leading this monthly event in an effort to standardize the Q across the region. While well suited for FNGs as part of the onboarding for the Fort, Q School represents an opportunity for all Pax as being the Q represents a leadership opportunity and leadership requires practice.
WARMUP:
After reviewing this disclaimer, YHC instructed the Pax on leading as a Q as part of the responsibility to positively influence himself and others. Within this responsibility lies trust that the Pax will follow the Q until the he leads them beyond reason until an unsafe environment or without proper instruction.

NMM
This workout was simple, but not easy. I’m not sure what made it difficult – it was only four exercises done six times over a couple miles, but I think I’m going to feel it later. The beauty of its design was you had the opportunity to converse with the guy next to you between sets and see what is going on in his world. I heard laughs, grunts, celebrations, and struggles. Men shared their hearts but still put in the work. That’s what this is all about – asking the guy next to you how he’s doing. Listening to what he says and note what he doesn’t say. Men suck at asking for help. The signs are there if we know where to look. My encouragement for you is to reach up when you need help. But also, reach down when you have help to give. F3 has the opportunity to literally save lives if we will pour into Fellowship and Faith as much as we do Fitness. Strengthen yourself mentally and spiritually as much as you do physically. Do that and we will change the world: one household at a time.
Aye!
