YHC had previously signed up to Q but had to pull an audible due to work schedule. Promised Recall that I’d get back on the Q sheet and today worked perfectly. Haven’t been to Arena since the launch so was looking forward to getting back. Recall and Tigerblood have a great group of PAX and …

While YHC was brainstorming the best ways to deliver the pain late last night, there was some mumblechatter on the Arena discussion page and Nibbles got tricked, err, volunteered to lead the COP in preparing for his highly anticipated VQ. YHC finds it extremely motivating and encouraging to witness men step out of their comfort …

6 PAX showed up disappointed that Pew had to postpone his VQ, and remained disappointed throughout YHC’s Q. Apathy and dispassion ruled the morning as YHC re-learned rule #6.B in the Q-school handbook: Don’t give the PAX a choice- just beat them down mercilessly and they will rejoice and be happy. 3 PAX for Stride …
7 Pax posted despite the cold windy weather to get learnt up with Q101 at The Arena. The students were eager to learn and even kept the mumblechatter to a minimum while class was in session. YHC enjoys teaching Q101 because not only does it give YHC a chance to pass on lessons learned and …
The guys of Ambush wanted to do something during the Christmas season that would benefit our community for some time. Paper Jam suggested Jelly of the Month Club.

Addition by Division has been a benchmark of what has helped F3Lexington grow. The Arena is another example of that. YHC was excited about the opportunity to Q at one of our regions newest AO’s, and the one closest to his house. Word has traveled fast that these guys have a good thing going, and …
Have you ever put together a winkie and really wished you hadn’t been so ambitious? Today was one of those days for YHC. I really wasn’t looking forward to this workout. I knew it would be one that would stick with me for a few days. However, YHC knew the men of The Arena wouldn’t …
YHC was glad to come over to one of our newest AO’s to Q on a fine Halloween morning. There were no treats for the faithful pax that showed up, but we worked hard. The only tricks were a couple of the Ambush favorites of Gas Pumps and Monkey Jumpers. The men over here worked …

The gloom was quite warm and muggy I say. The night’s brainstorm ready for the day. A brand new AO for my menu of fun. A fresh set of Pax well at least some. An outcast from Shank was ready with chatter. His counting stank but it didn’t matter. The warmup’s the same as last …
