The Return to Shipwreck with Flag Handoff

Return to the MOD 11/5/2022 Started out with a quick disclaimer and began with a Bible Verse that I read and then a question for the PAX to think about during the workout.  I did this between each group of exercises instead of running or walking.   So here we go:  Some Pax were called on to count cadence Ephesians 5:25.  Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave home self up…

2nd annual St Patty’s Day Q with ICB’s!

St Pattys day is one of my favorite days as it probably the only day that I don’t have to take any Crap for my Irish gear!  Everyone enjoys celebrating and wearing green!  Todays Q started like no other F3 workout with those who wished to participate, enjoying an Irish Car Bomb!  The energy level at 5am was very high with the anticipation of taking the ICB and then working out!  Well according to Shakespeare…

Tora, Tora, Tora, at the ‘Ball!

YHC is likely the only guy in the region that was raised by the WW II generation (expect a lot of the pax’s grandads were) so this was a very special day. I grew up listening to these guys tell about it (mostly pretty funny stories) and had an uncle that was the REAL DEAL when it came to war heros in my uncle Roy Fortner who led the 15th Air Force Mission over Berlin…

Events are happening, things are said or things are left unsaid and I choose to take offense to them. I want to share my thoughts with the PAX and hopefully, they’ll choose to not be offended. Mosey down the road to the back lot with a mix of butt kickers…
