30 Pax with 1 FNG posted in the gloom the day before the weather is to turn cold for a workout that should keep them warm for a few days. What started with a “who’s the Q” quickly became a “follow me” around the Strut. Fire and smoke soon led to ashes left on the field as the FNG stated, “that reminds me of the Marine Corps.”
Conditions: 60 degrees and 86% humidity
The Thang:
The QIC was hiding in the shadows and appeared at go time with the first of many instructions to follow me. Around the baseball fields to the second field outfield.
