Pending Bandcamp Approval

WARMUP: Thank you <@U061P7HUFRR> warming up the Pax. YHC came flying in hot and managed to get a little additional warm up. Downward dog, honeymooner, windmills, and quad stretches
THE THANG: simple but hard…5 rounds which included 20 reps of overhead presses, curls, bent over rows, and squats – all with hardware then complete a run around the parking lot. Round 5 the rep count was max out until muscle failure. We then moved into partner exercises that involved running and shoulder shrugs.
MARY: Mary will bell…a large number of “Bell”BCs in addition to flutter kicks all while keeping the bell positioned high above the chest.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel men’s shelter, discussion surrounding the need to communicate to PAX on IR to come out for light ruck option and fellowship. Also, shovel flag handoff Saturday at Alcatraz.
COT: YHC shared testimony about how Christs fingerprints are all over our lives and our need to look up when we are experiencing dark times – he is there in it with us and carrying us through even when it doesn’t seem so.

Guys on IR and coming out of IR. Bubba Gumps son and uncle. Travel mercies for <@U061A5NHBT3>

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.
