Michael Phelps and Disclaimer. I’m not a professional but certainly dress like one. I am not aware of any injuries or ailments you have so modify as necessary. My name is Bogey for those I haven’t met and my home AO is the Underground…the AO for misfits and outlaws. Come see us Tue and Thu from 0515 to 0615 at Garden City City Hall footsteps. We also do an Other F’s discussion group at Starbucks on Wed morning 0530 over by Costco. And the remaining days we go out and visit other AO’s like The Ranch…which by the way is one of only two Coastal Empire AO’s that still hold a Sat morning beatdown! Aye!
Then we might have done a little bit of the following:
* Wrist flexions
* Ankle rotations
* Tin mans
* High knees
* Butt kicks
* Karaoke
* Moroccan night club
* Arm across chest and switch
* Don Quixote’s
* Through the tunnels
* Plank
* Dive bombers
* Five core principles in their proper order or penalty
* Motto or penalty
* Credo or penalty
* Runners stretch left leg first
* Right hand in air
* Pigeon. Then switch to right leg.
* Butterfly
* Standing Tutti stretch
YHC takes full responsibility for calling it early and not capturing the COT fifth core principle. Yikes. And then YHc proceeded to ask for the F3 Motto. Which resulted in total pandemonium. Like Turnbuckle literally coming off the top turnbuckle, it’s an F3 “Mission Statement” for SweetOnion’s sake! After that $hiT$How, we all recovered with a proper F3 Credo. It’s tough turning Respect, especially when the natives were getting restless!
Tha Thang:
Today we honored the crew of RICAN 68 that lost their lives on 2 May 2018 when the C-130H they were flying to the “Boneyard” at Davis-Monthan AFB crashed shortly after departing SAV/HH IAP.
* Half mile run/mosey
* 68 yard burpee broad jump
* 68 double mountain climbers
* 68 lawnmowers each arm
* 68 underground merks
* 68 weighted squats
* 68 overhead press
* 68 WWIII’s
* 68 skull crushers
* 68 burpee jump overs (single count)
* Half mile run/mosey
— 9 Different Exercises Representing the Lost Crew Members
— 68 Reps Representing their Call Sign
— 1/2 Mile Runs Just Because
COT:
This hero workout was intended to be a slog. A chance for us to continue to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. YHC didn’t see anyone start doing burpee jump overs but correct me if I’m mistaken. Appreciate the opportunity to lead and honor the Puerto Rican Air National Guard. I visited the 165th here at the airport to tour and meet with leadership the drill weekend after the mishap. It’s was a culture of family taking care of family during the recovery efforts and it made me wanna join the 165th even more. Which I ended up doing a short 8 months later.
Naked Moleskin:
— If there was any doubt on what Australian Snow Angel really means in Australia, then please get with Groupie.
— Proud of Mr. Miyagi for sporting his Ranger P’s. Maybe one day Pergo will follow suit.
— Loves is thankful he didn’t get the Lot Lizard name.
— Running is still Falcon9’s favorite activity.
— Coffee after was provided by F3 Mouth to Mouth who was downrange from F3 Cherokee in ATL. If y’all are ever in that area please thank him by posting at his home AO.
— How did Sanders get his name again?
— Ever notice Snuggie is perpetually smiling?
— If you didn’t already know, Cheddar’s six-month wedding anniversary is today.
— Lasorda sporting the hoodie and still not sweating during the workout. That’s because he just finished a few shifts inside a 96 degree helo.
— Sherman politely volunteering for everything even though he hasn’t posted in 114 months.
— Did you know SweetOnions from Vidalia have a sweet flavor due to the low amount of sulfur in the soil in which the onions are grown?
— French Press about to apply for a position with the part time Georgia State Defense Force. Pretty sure they aren’t doing early morning workouts. Way to bust the curve FP!
— If you ever Q with FroZone in attendance, please please please ensure burpee broad jumps are on the Weinke.
— Don’t ever confuse Micro with Mike Rowe.
— We did exit the Circle of Trust doing Sakrete Merks aka Carolina Dry Docks.
— R-12 coming in clutch with the soothing musical sounds while we were getting our @$$e$ kicked.
— Someone buy Shakira some shorts. A few of us were sweltering just seeing him kill the workout wearing pants.
— Don’t forget about the F3 10-year anniversary on November!
Pledge, pray and on our way! Aye!!!
