THE THANG: Atempt to get 10 rounds of the following 34 step ups, 28 Merkins/derkins ors irkins, 18 big boy situps, bear crawl length of building. We all worked the entire time with a little mumble chatter of where we were 25 years ago when the world felt like it stopped. We didn't finish but we didn't stop just like the brave men and women that gave their lives trying to save others. The ultimate sacrifice. Remeber and Never forget.

Leave a comment

THE THANG: Track and light poles
Moseying to the track, pax stopped at the flag to honor those who made the intimate sacrifice this week 25 years ago. Never Forget

At the track, 9’s and 7’s were called.
7 rounds
Rounds 1,3,5&7 – 9 merkins and 7 big boys
Rounds 2,4&6 – 9 big boys and 7 burpees

Mosey to the light poles.
As a group – various merkins and an exercises of 9’s and 7’s were called every other light pole to the top of the hill.

At the top of the hill – 10 burpees – just because.

Descend the hill stopping for 9’s and 7’s at every third light pole – time was running short, hence fewer stops.

Mosey to benches for a round of Bulgarian split squats and then on to COT at 0600.

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: plenty of ‘em
COT: 5th core principle and some solid vulnerability among posting pax.
NMM: F3’s credo is leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him. Today’s workout was kept together with that very purpose in mind.

No matter what we bring to any workout, we have the blessing of a place where we can be met and welcomed as we are with the capacity to change ourselves for the better. What a privilege!!

Give this thing away, men. Because it’s a gift.

Thanks for the call, Halfback. 👁️

A VQ and Lessons in Teamwork

Leave a comment

Eagle Claw's VQ!!!
WARMUP:
Eagle Claw led. Start right at COT, no mosey, circle up for:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 WM
  • 10 IW
  • 10 MNC
  • 10 cherry pickers

Everything 4 count as usual. Then mosey over to the nearby Grace Presbyterian Church for the following:

THE THANG:
Part 1 – Ring of Fire:
Designed by Eagle Claw, led by both him and NASA
In the half of the parking lot closest to the church, we had 8 cones set up in a loop/ring, each about 15 yards apart, each with an exercise, in this order:

  • 15 burpees
  • 20 merkins
  • 20 big boy sit-ups
  • 25 LSS
  • 25 mtn climbers 2 ct
  • 20 lunge 2 ct
  • 25 LBC
  • 20 CDD

These are minimum rep counts. Each person picked a cone (with 6 PAX, 2 were left open). Do the exercise, then alternate duck walk or bear crawl to next cone.
The catch – NOBODY could move forward until the last person is done their minimum rep count they were on. Until the last person shouted "done!", everyone kept doing the exercise at hand, exceeding minimum rep counts. We all did 2 complete rounds as a group. The burpees and 2ct lunges were our 6s that kept the team together as a unit, but we all pushed together. Solid work.

Part 2 – DORA:
Eagle Claw designed, mainly NASA led. Mosey over to the parking lot behind Red Bowl, starting point was the corner of the back lot closest to Stockbridge Dr. Partner up. Run was from the start out past the RB dumpster to the end of that building and back. Exercise reps were cut due to time:

  • 50 merkins (was 100)
  • 100 LBC (was 200)
  • 150 LSS (was 300)

Dumpster did not stank no where near as bad as we expected it would! Great efforts by everyone!
We finished with a couple minutes to spare. Back to COT.
MARY:
Eagle Claw led – 1 minute of hello dollys
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read your newsletter, get involved. If you see something that is your D2X, get behind it, EH some guys. and make it happen. Freed to lead! This is exactly how ALL of the things we see in the newsletter as well as F3 organized CSAUPs came about.
COT:
A LOT lifted up by everyone! A great COT session.

NMM:
This was designed to be lessons in teamwork:

  • RING OF FIRE: The team, large or small, is only as strong and fast as the last person in line. The team doesn't move forward as a collective group until everyone is done doing their work. You can choose to get out way ahead, focusing on personal gain, but then you leave the rest of your team behind.
  • DORA: When you are paired with someone to complete a set of tasks, you both should be putting in the same level of effort. Slacking on your part will only put more load on your partner, which over time could drive you two apart. Equal efforts keeps the partnership strong.

Eagle Claw is off to spread his wings and follow his passions at The Citadel. Thank you to all the PAX who have poured the 3 Fs, wisdom, motivations, and encouragements into him. You all have made him a better person because of it. I cannot thank you all enough. Love you all. Blessings and SYITG.
-NASA
