Introduction
Always Prepared
Warm-O-Rama
The great Big Perm was set to lead us this morning. But alas, at 0530 there was no sign of the Perm. No problem. An F3 man is always ready for whatever happens. Any of the HIMs could have taken the lead today. YHC felt led to….well….lead. So off we go. Mosey to back lot for warm-o-rama.
Quick disclaimer for our FNG.

Short Mosey to Little Five Points for The Thang
The Thang
YHC pulled out a Bear Arse special at Little Five Points. PAX would complete the following:
10 Merkins
20 Squats
30 BBSU
Then run to the end of one of the points (there are five of them) and do 5 burpees. Run back to the middle. Rinse/repeat until all five points have been completed.
30 BBSU was a lot. YHC may or may not have mixed up the squat/BBSU numbers. No matter, it’s beach season. Gotta find those abs!
PAX did some mary waiting on the six. Once the six was in, Bear Arse took over the Q and we moseyed to One Tree Hill aka Cheer Dad Hill. Bear Arse decided One Tree Hill suicides would be a pleasant experience this fine morning.
Five burpees at the base of OTH. Sprint to the tree at the top. Five more burpees. Run back to base. Five burpees. Run all the way up the hill and down the other side (which was much further than YHC imagined). Five burpees. Back up/down the hill to where we began.
One Tree Hill became One Tree Mountain on the other side (The Dark Side). Kathmandid was overcome with joy at the beauty offered on The Dark Side. YHC imagines we will be using The Dark Side quite a bit at Kathmandid’s next beat down.
YHC resumed Q and PAX did an Indian Run back to the flag.
9 minutes of Mary including Freddy Mercury’s, LBCs, BBSU, American Hammers, and a 90 second plank to finish us off. And finished we were. 0615 on the dot.
Circle of Trust
Count-o-rama. Name-o-rama. Swedish Ham was six man and shared a little of his story. Named the FNG (Shawshank) and learned a little of his story.
GaDgEt shared that his wife is doing good after an emergency appendectomy. Recovery is 4 weeks or so. Praying that she doesn’t get discouraged about not being able to go to the gym.
Swedish Ham gave a shout out to the SkyQ for recent business. Praying that increased workload schedule will be easy to adjust to.
Kathmandid shared that we as men often try to get our question answered (Do I have what it takes?) by our wives or other women. There is only one who we should take that question to. Our wives can’t and shouldn’t answer that. It will always end poorly.
Shout out to SkyQ for His many blessings. Praying for our brothers who weren’t there this morning. We need you! Isolation will kill you!
Naked Man Moleskin
Proud of the PAX this morning. Learned a few things about the PAX: Kathmandid loves to run….more running please. Commando wants more burpees in his life. Shawshank told us we are basically fully trained Marines.
The Dark Side is a lot farther than YHC thought.
SYITG!
