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.

Run, Exercise, Run, Do The Work

Mission – Know It…for the love.
WARMUP: Not Really
THE THANG:
Run around the building, 3 core exercises
Run to Front St, 3 upper body exercises
Cross 160 & run to Brayden, 3 lower body exercises
Run to the bottom of the hill and back up, 2 core
Run to Ivybrook, 2 upper
Run to the school basketball courts, 2 lower

Run back to COT…Plank series

For the one person that read this far, you’ll see the similarity to a recent Minnow Pond BB. Why reinvent the wheel? No need to introduce a game or anything creative, just get a minimum of 3mi and make the guys push a little harder. Or, pull a little more if you’re ‘squatch.
In other areas of my life, I try to make things harder. In some cases, I’ve even created the more difficult situation. If I can strip the emotion out of the situation, assess it then address it, I can tackle it.
That’s exactly what we did at Sweep The Leg. We assumed this post would be hard, showed up, got simple instructions and did the work. Nothing creative. Nothing complicated. Nothing emotional. Nothing easy.
Just.Do.The.Work.
For the love, stop settling for just showing up. Showing up is important, yes. You can’t lead without showing up. If this is about leadership, don’t measure yourself against a standard that says showing up (physically) is enough.
You’re here for more. Time to lead!
MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence, Jaeger
COT: You should’ve been there.
