AKA – the tour continues

WARMUP: Mosey to the swing & do an exercise
In c cadence all the way around the park – 9 stations, 9 exercises – .6 miles. Warmup complete

THE THANG: At the hill behind the restroom building – 10 squats at the bottom every time back down. Shuttle run to each light pole for 10 of a particular type of Merkin and return to the bottom for squats. Regular – pole 1, Diamond- pole 2, Wide arm – pole 3, Regular – Pole 4, Diamond – Pole 5. Plank for the 6 and on to the adjacent parking lot after a 10 count.

Soccer field parking lot – 7’s – Diamond merkins and Mike Tyson’s. Bear crawling and lunge walking were the suggested MOT’s.

After a ten count – we went to the infamous hill at the back of WEP for a Jacobs Ladder of 11’s.
Burpees at the bottom, nur up the hill, lunges at the top and jog back down. Repeating until pax had gotten their fill.

With 10 minutes or so to go, we moseyed together in reverse and, at each swing, an exercise was called in cadence. We arrived at the final swing at 0728 giving us 2 minutes to get to COT and arrive promptly at 0730.

Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.
