The message left with the PAX with was:
The best fruits of this life are an unstained character and acts for the common good. As leaders, what are we doing to cultivate the former and initiate the latter?

COT: Gratitude for this community, those who inhabit it and all we can influence well through our words and deeds.

Our credo is to leave no man behind and leave no man where we found him. Apply the same principle to our community by getting involved and not doing life alone. A HIM influences by word AND deed. Thankful for the men who ensure YHC has better alignment of word and deed because of F3.

Thanks for the call, Bass-o-Matic. :eye:

Big 5-0

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.

Angry Assassin

5 pax enjoyed buckets of pain around Kingsley, launching from the amphitheater for today’s version of Dawn patrol. Angry, being awake since 3:30, I tried to take it out on the guys just a little but it was child’s play for everyone except for the excessive burpees.

We did announcements that we have all read from the newsletter. We lifted prayers for aging parents who need attention, family members who are struggling with some stunning news, and friends/co-workers who are suffering. Importantly, we also prayed for our children.

Sweet and Spicy at The Fort

WARMUP:
Peach Stand started us off with the warmup of SSH, Imperial Walkers, and possibly a few others gone from memory.

THE THANG 1:
PeachStand instructed Pax to pick a rock from the piles behind the amphitheater (and to choose wisely).
The “thang” was a ladder to “9”, starting with 8 Mike Tysons right behind the amphitheater, and 1 bomb jack at the entrance of the parking lot (up the hill). The mode of transportation running (or walking briskly) with our coupon held straight over our heads. Harry Carry did more running than anyone (perhaps even more than the rest of us combined).

THE THANG 2:
YHC took over and educated the Pax on the rules of a Webb-o-rama. 4 cones set up along path in front of the amphitheater. On each cone were 2 exercises to be done in Jack Webb style (1:4 ratio)
Cone 1- 1 6-count Burpee : 4 SSH
– >> Bear crawl to next station
Cone 2 – 1 Big boy sit up : 4 American Hammers
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 3 – 1 Knee tar N’Diaye : 4 Squats
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 4 – Traditional Jack Webb –
– >> Run Around parking lot, up the hill to the entrance, then back to first station
Instead of doing all 10 reps at once, we broke it up into 3 rounds.
Round 1: 1-5
Round 2: 6-8
Round 3: 10 (skipped 9 since we ran out of time).

Great work done by all men. Thanks for the chance to lead, JWOW.
