Today’s Saturday Q took me a dark, foggy 57 degree place called Shawshank. Just like most of my Saturday Qs this would be my first time at this AO.

YHC was honored when Scotch invited YHC to come out and Q the Pax at the Hollow. When YHC arrived a little early, there were about a dozen Pax standing around and waiting. YHC knew it was going to be a good morning. The mumble chatter is strong with this group of Pax and never …
The guys at Ambush know how to have a good time. They might not be able to count above 40, but they know how to have a good time. The mumblechatter is always entertaining and you know what you are getting into when you arrive. Seriously, they always put in hard work and have a …

YHC hasn’t been to Boneyard in close to, if not over, a year. The only thing stronger than the mumble chatter with this group of PAX are the bonds between these men. This is how the 2nd F is done. Also, the energy level for a bunch of “respect” PAX is unbelievable. If you haven’t …

Near perfect conditions The Thang: Take …

Conditions: Not good – 38 degrees, pouring rain, and windy. YCH had a fun plan involving sprints and stations all the way to Martha’s where we would then do some hill work, but the conditions just weren’t with us and when it became clear that the icy cold rain wasn’t going to give us a …
Conditions: Nice 40 degrees with heavy rain YHC always loves coming to serve up a little betterment with the men of Crypt. Got there early to scout trying to keep the WO out of the pouring rain.

WEATHER: Cold and rainy. Stayed under the shelter. When the Pax showed up the Mutt Cutts van was parked under the shelter where we were going to workout. Harry and Loyd was not there and Jack was not impressed. We decided instead of going out into the rain we would simply work around the van. …

Six pax braved the torrential mist to join us at Foxhole this morning for the Changing of the Guard. So far no one has pulled a Steve Harvey and called to say “My bad, Boo”, so I guess I got the gig for real. But seriously, one of the coolest things about F3 is the …

Conditions: Pouring Rain and 36° Intro: YHC had no desire to show up this morning and I cannot pass judgment on those who may have fartsacked. It was miserable and I prayed that the parking lot would be desolate. Also, it is important to note that I slept through alarm 1 of 2 and almost …
When I looked at the weather report late yesterday afternoon I must say I wasn’t too optimistic on the number of PAX. Boy was I surprised when 19 guys showed-up to get better this morning. It was a big day as Escobar and myself were passing the flag to some new leadership, but work was …

For YHC’s birthday Q, there was a idea to lead the men of Snakepit this morning with some P200 competitive exercises, but mother nature had other plans. Omaha was called and the workout was moved from the field to a little more sheltered and confined area due to the impending monsoon called by Cantore. Conditions: 42 …
8 especially #faithful pax defied #Cantore this morning to post in a cold, windy, driving rain at #Thunder. The call was put out last night for a big crowd to join YHC at the hallowed ground in Shandon and considering the weather YHC’d say a big crowd is exactly what showed up. This was not …
With our brother Sundrop calling in sick at 2 AM, four PAX showed up without a QIC at the helm. While sitting in the car (since it was raining and cold) I grabbed a deck of cards, my phone, and a weinke that I’ve been carrying around to other AOs. After a quick “who wants …
