We are approaching the beginning of school (in some capacity) and that is sure to add additional stress on our families along with everything else going on around the country. The QIC reminded the PAX to take advantage of our healthy outlets of stress relief so we can continue to be great husbands, fathers, friends, mentors and leaders.

    “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” – John 15:13

    Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of the terrorist attack on Chattanooga that claimed the lives of 1 Navy sailor and 4 Marines of mine and Nordictrack’s old unit: Mike Battery. There were many memories and tributes yesterday but what I choose to remember about that horrible day is that all five of those men died either shielding others (including civilians in the park) from the terrorist or actively engaging the terrorist with a large firepower disadvantage. All five gave their lives for other Marines and sailors, for other community members, for other humans.

    The ultimate sacrifice made by those five men showed true courage and selflessness. Ultimate examples of what it means to Live Third.

    Blindside closed us out by leading us in prayer.

    No playlist today as we were doing laps around the school.

    FNG-Pork Chop is Hambone’s 2.0. We had him questioning our sanity by 0545.

    Burrito. That’s it. That’s the comment.

    Backfire’s work van has a backup beeper that I bet you could have heard from #Parliament. It’s hilariously loud.

    We actually got NordicTrack to go to Hardee’s for coffeeteria! It was a Festivus Miracle!

      PAX count off into three groups

      Three stations: East goalpost, moseyers (those who mosey? those doing the moseying?), and West goalpost

      PAX AMRAP three rounds of CPRs at East goalpost and three rounds of manmaker merkins at West goalpost with a nice 120 yard coupon mosey in between. Flapjack when moseyers reach your station.

      Next three rounds, PAX AMRAP 8 count bodybuilders at East goalpost and Lion Kings at West goalpost. Flapjacking again with those doing the moseying.

      QIC shared F3 Nation’s “statement” that was released this past weekend.

      Highlights: F3 has 5 core principles; the 2nd is F3 workouts are open to ALL men. We are not virtue signalers, we are DOERS. HIMs have a great opportunity in our society’s current leadership famine to step up by showing grace, mercy and love to others regardless if they share your same beliefs or not.

      Be a uniter!

      The mumble chatter started strong even with Burrito absent, but died out about halfway through The Thang. It was replaced with grunts and plenty of pain noises.

      Red Raider looks majestic sprinting with a coupon!
