Q School at RoF – Leadership

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to lead the Pax at Q School at Ring of Fire. T-claps to Cake Boss for leading this monthly event in an effort to standardize the Q across the region. While well suited for FNGs as part of the onboarding for the Fort, Q School represents an opportunity for all Pax as being the Q represents a leadership opportunity and leadership requires practice.

WARMUP:
After reviewing this disclaimer, YHC instructed the Pax on leading as a Q as part of the responsibility to positively influence himself and others. Within this responsibility lies trust that the Pax will follow the Q until the he leads them beyond reason until an unsafe environment or without proper instruction.

Mosey to NaFo band lot for COT and review of cadence counting
SSH x 20
Mtn x 20
IW x 10
CDD x 10
MNC x 10
Merkins x 10

THE THANG:
The next discussion focused on preparedness as a Q and focused on the following:
– Reading backblasts
– Simple in design
– Scalable
– Challening effort across all fitness levels

Mosey to end of the lot for “lazier Dora” which included an explanation on Dora from Harry Caray.

Partner Up
100 merkins alternating by 10 while other partner holds plank
Run to flag pole and back
200 Squats alternating by 20 while other partner holds Al Gore
Run to flag pole and back
300 LBCs alternating by 30 while other partner holds protractor aka 6 inches
Run to flag pole and back

Next up a discussion on Vision and Articulation and a reference to Exhortation.

Mosey back while stopping for “Death By” for burpees.
Every minute counts go from 3 to 6 to 9 to 12
MARY:
Finished with 10 Big Boys
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Wine Dinner
– Bethel Men’s Shelter
– Jaeger
COT:
We went around the Pax “CSPAN style” expressing gratitude and prayers across jobs, healing, children being saved and our parents. YHC was blessed by the presence of these men today and hopefully each feels challenged to be the light for the remainder of the day.

YHC thought he’d be just tired from staying up for the Clemson game. The unexpected feelings of disappointment made for a not-so-moderate workout, enjoyed by all. Great to see the men that posted, but especially great to meet Tin Cup, Halfback, and Mighty Mite.

Thanks to Boogie Down for the opportunity to lead.
