YHC gathered the PAX into a circle, introduced himself, went over the F3 mission and 5 corp principles and then had everyone stretch, head to toe before moving over to the field for 10 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and a game of Let’s Make A Deal.

Thing 1: HIIT

With Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and other classic Alt Rock and Soul blasting in the background. YHC led the PAX through 10 exercises, 40/20 seconds of work/rest. The chorus of grunts and groans weren’t enough to scare off the gazillion Noseeums that returned just in time for great weather to claim the gloom as their home turf.

The PAX swatted and battled hard against them to the end to complete:

Prison Squats Freddie Mercury Flying Nuns Chain Breakers Box Cutters Carolina Dry Docks Slap Jacks (2 Jumping Jacks, 2 Claps between legs) Lil Babies Bobby Hurley

Thing 2: Let’s Make a Deal

YHC next divided the PAX into 3 teams to play 5 rounds of this classic game for prizes and exercises based on the selection of one of three boxes marked 1, 2 or 3.

For each round (RD), the teams had to select one of three options to win a prize or zonk and select the exercise and reps for the PAX to complete. The options were:

(1) Roll a dice with exercise and rep listed; (2) select from 1 of 3 F3 or similar cards with exercise and reps listed; or select a deal (exercise and reps) determined by the Q but unknown to the PAX.

Round 1 Led by Tartan, the team rolled the dice which landed on 30 Abdominal Crunches and won a (toy) Blue Silverado truck

Round 2 Led by Wrist Guard, selected the deal and won a YoYo and 30 seconds of Alternate Shoulder Taps for the PAX.

Round 3 The FNG selected door 1 for his team which was a Zonk. As a result the PAX did 30 seconds of Outlaws, 12 lateral leg raises from the dice and 30 seconds of single leg push ups for each leg. The team also won a can of Sardines to split for their zonk prize.

Round 4

Led by Team 1, Ahoy Mate selected the F3 card and won 20 Monkey Humpers for the PAX and a (toy) Guitar for his team.

Round 5 The Big Deal Team 2 led by Nomad and Team 3 led by Inches Short went head-to-head in a winner take all of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine the Big Deal Winner Inches Short who after selecting three F3 Cards won a 50 Yard Backwards Run, 30 Freddy Mercury and a 10-count Plank Hold done in a circle by all PAX to exhaustion. The Big Deal Prize for Team 2 was a bag of Twix candy bars, a (toy) Pool Table and a (toy) 69 Shelby Mustang.

COT:

The PAX offered prayers for Pez’s daughter Heather that she be delivered from the behavioral health challenges she is facing.

Inches Short shared the great news about his mother Mrs.Beverly Hutton for her successful surgery and therapy treatments for Cancer which is now no longer attacking her body.

Inches Short ‘s father Mr. Richard Hutton our FNG today was named Gadget by the PAX, but overruled by the Q who named him “Talk Too Much” based on the FNG saying this about himself during his COT presentation to PAX. The Q had a change of heart and the former FNG’s name will revert to Gadget.

YHC spoke about a cousin who after a lifetime of drug abuse and rehab, recently was found dead of an overdose, leaving behind two teenage daughters to be raised by his cousin’s mother. YHC also asked for prayers for his only surviving uncle who at age 91 has entered Hospice Care as he makes his final transition.

YHC also thanked the PAX for allowing him to Q one more time before undergoing his third major back surgery next week and asked for their continued prayers for healing and a speedy recovery.

Honor to serve and be among these HIMs.
