Campaign Q #22: Detention
Strong showing at Detention even with the Gauntlet going on. We welcomed an FNG named Clark this AM. Sometimes the nickname is right in front of you so we grabbed the low hanging fruit and named him Griswold. He’s a math teacher so YHC was kinda hoping for Mathlete as an ode to Alter Boy …

The One Where We Yelled “Fire” In a Crowded Parking Lot
Lately, YHC is always looking for an open spot on the Q sheet in order to facilitate #acceleration. However, finding a place to lead can be a daunting task when BooBoo, Postal & Rook have filled about every open spot through 2021. Yet, F3Detention had a need for a QIC and YHC pounced. 14 pax …

Have a Faye Day
Today was a special bootcamp. I won’t rehash everything I said in the preblast, but I was absolutely blown away by the support for Faye shown by the men of Detention, the men of the other F3 Lexington AOs, and the men of F3 Nation across the country. Thumbs Up put together a slideshow highlighting …
The Cusack Q leaves Detainees All Swole Up
As 50 quickly approaches, YHC has made an intentional effort to #accelerate into “respect.” Being on the Q sheet helps since it involves a higher sense of accountability.

4 Years of Detention
On January 26, 2016, 41 PAX showed up on the campus of Oak Grove Elementary for some #additionbydivision and launch F3 Lexington’s newest AO.

Simple beatdown, featuring three FNG’s
When YHC showed up, he was greeted by the men of Detention with open arms. No surprise here. What YHC didn’t know, was that three FNG’s were in attendance. This was murmured by our fearless AOQ, Bar Crawl, who was probably nervous about YHC leading the PAX, seeing as it’s been a good while since …

A flippin’ good time

Visiting Detention Q

Two months gone. Two months since my last Detention Q. Been really disconnected from the Gloom, you guys. Travelling for work going on 5 weeks in a row; so any time I’m home I’m either catching up on paperwork or enjoying the new (yes, new) Netflix subscription with the wife. That stuff is poison but …
The one Viper said was the hardest workout so far
YHC pinch hit for Ponzi who recently tweaked his back. Talking to H4T last night, it was apparent that the heat needed to be brought to the men of Detention.

Buckets of Fun
YHC was recently disappointed to learn that our current society is generally unaware of the “There’s a Hole in my Bucket” song.
