Private First Class(PFC) Jason “JJ” Hill Estopinal
Raised in Dallas Georgia, Graduated HS in 2007.  Joined the Marine Corps in Jan 2009.   Was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines Golf Company as an infantry rifleman and was deployed to Afghanistan by October 2009.   In Afghanistan he served in Golf Co 3rd platoon, 4th squad and was the squads radio operator. Carrying the radio meant more weight, more work,  and more knowledge of how the system operated.   It wasn’t an easy job, and he did every bit of it with pride and dedication.   Constantly trying to improve and learn as much as he could.   We called him “Ears” because of his obvious massive ears but also because he was the squads “Ears”.   He was a quiet, shy guy but humble and very hard working and always had an ear to ear smile.  
February 15th 2010 we started a large scale house clearing mission that was going to take a few days, but half way through the first day, he would step on and IED and was killed.   He served for just over a year before he was killed.  (he was 21).

Leave a comment

IT’S IRON PAX SEASON!!!! Week 0 was a great reminder of what’s expected and how hard you will be pushed this month.

Week 0 was in honor of Gary R Wieneke, SP4, who served in the United States Army as an X-ray Spec with the 128th Evac Hospital in Germany from September 1955 to 1958. Mr Wieneke is the father of one of F3Greenwood’s own, Michael Wieneke, F3Brut. Mr. Wieneke passed away at the age of 83 and Brut created this workout in honor of him.
Aside from serving his country, Mr. Wieneke was a renowned track and field coach in the US. He coached the US Junior National Team. He was the head coach at the University of Illinois from 1967 until his retirement after the 2002-2003 season. Wieneke was a nine0time NCAA District IV Coach of the year, was named the NCAA National Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year in 1987 and garnered three Big Ten Outdoor Coach of the Year. He has been inducted into numerous different Halls of Fame, among them are the US Track and Field and Cross Country and University of Illinois Athletic Halls of Fame.
Behind the numbers
800 meters was his best event. He coached 11 different student-athletes to 27 Big Ten titles in this event
13 reps for the warm-up exercises represents the number of Big Ten Conference Championships his teams won
5 warm-up exercises represent 1 for each Olympic athlete that he coached
7 different exercises and the 8 burpees after each exercise represent the date he passed away – 7/8/2021
Format
Complete the workout for time

Start the timer when the warm-up starts.
The Thang

13 reps of each exercise (all 4 count)
SSH

The encouragement that happened throughout the workout was top notch. While this was terrible, we all finished. Seeing the list of things that has to get done, is daunting, we all made it to the other side. Don’t let the daunting task stop you in your tracks. You can preserver and overcome.

Great job gents!

8.14.23 at The Badger

Leave a comment

In the gloomy morning of August 14, 2023, 10 PAX descended upon the Honey Badger to put in work.

Started off with a timed 2-mile run. Finished that up, did some Mary in waiting for the six.

Headed over to the pull up bars for the main event.

Bradley

On January 3, 2010, while on a dismounted area reconnaissance patrol in the vicinity of Badvan village, his 13-man platoon-sized element was attacked by indirect mortar fire and an improvised explosive device. The initial attack threw an Airman and a Soldier into an adjacent creek, critically wounding the Airman and mortally wounding the Soldier. A second Soldier was mortally wounded and thrown 200 meters across the village by the blast. Airman Smith, without regard to his own safety, immediately rushed from his covered position, and into the waist-high water of the creek to save his fellow Airman and recover the killed Soldier. After moving the victims of the improvised explosive device attack to the Casualty Collection Point, Airman Smith volunteered to retrieve the soldier thrown across the village. Determined to never leave a comrade behind, Airman Smith proceeded at extreme risk, and without regard to his personal safety, along the eastern edge of the village to the Soldier’s remains. Airman Smith retrieved the fallen Soldier and began maneuvering back through the village toward the extraction site. Airman Smith waded back through the waist-high creek and proceeded toward the Casualty Collection Point. Upon arrival, a second Improvised Explosive Device detonated, killing Airman Smith and the platoon medic instantly.

10 Rounds For TIme
100 meter Sprint
10 Pull-Ups
100 meter Sprint
10 Burpees
30 seconds Rest

Work was put in by all. Saw Dust – thanks for allowing YHC to lead.
