THE THANG
Today’s work out was designed for one purpose: to have small groups of men working together and staying together.  A little competition and special ops theme helped break up the PT.  The men counted off in threes.  The 3 newly formed squads gathered together and fully sized up their new team mates.  YHC acted as Platoon leader and assigned the three squad leaders.  Squad 1: Helpdesk, Squad 2: Wilbur (R), Squad 3: Fielding

The Platoon gathered around the whiteboard and the Mission was revealed:

• Each squad mosey to the first assigned station
• Locate cone and follow instruction for assigned PT
• Complete PT and pick up the coupon (three 28 lb. cinder blocks tied together)
• Mosey to next assigned station and repeat.  keep coupon with squad.
• The first Squad to Station 4 wins bragging rights
• Perform core work
• That first squad picks up the prize and carries back to rally point in addition to coupon

Map of AO:

Station 1: A Little Murph – Location: Near Pull up bars

• 20 Pull ups
• 30 Mericans
• 40 Squats

Station 2: More of the same – Location Back lot behind School

• 30 Mericans
• 40 Squats
• 40 Lunges (count on rt leg)

Station 3 – Murph modified

• 30 Mericans
• 40 Squats
• 40 Dips

Station 4: The “Prize” and a little Core work

The first arriving Squad found a 30 lb ruck sack waiting and some core work to conclude the rotation:

• 30 Big Boy Situps
• 40 American hammers
• 50 Flutter Kicks (count on rt leg)

The timing of the exercise worked out well, and all Squads rallied back to the start point with a few minutes to spare.  Each squad performed self directed PT until time was called.

Squad 3 won the bragging rights.

CIRCLE OF TRUST

Counterama – 13 in all

PRAYER
MOLESKIN
Today we talked about the F3 mission and the F3 Credo.  Working as a small group with 3 guys connected while moving, there was no choice but to work together.  The workout was also designed to give more than one man a leadership role.

F3 Mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

F3 Credo “Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.”

When YHC queried the men on the mission and credo – Jar Jar nailed both with no hesitation.  I think this was due to a burpee beatdown donatello laid on the men after the Growruck, where we were punished for not knowing certain credos, and such.  No man was left behind today.  We continue to fulfill the F3 mission.

YHC presented the men with the OBT and Dredd penned tome “Freed to Lead”.  This book explains the “problem” facing all adult men today, and presents a “solution” in the formation and implementation of small peer led workout groups.  There’s more to the story – it’s in the book.  New 2018 Arrowhead AO QIC Pedialyte took the book.
