VQIC: Red Wire
When Red Wire arrived, the snow was blowing, and the pre-runners took off into the wind. He
began putting out the stations and weighing the papers and lights down, so they didn’t blow
away.
At 5:30 AM, RW with the wind at his back, he promptly welcomed the Pax to F3 and his VQ!
RW was able to regurgitate the Mission Statements by reminding them: To Plant, Grow and
Serve small workout groups of men for the invigoration/reinvigoration of male community
leadership. RW then recited the five core principles of: 1) Free of charge 2) Open to all men. 3)
Held outdoors, 4) Peer led in a rotating fashion (high fashion) and 5) Ends with a Circle of Trust
(COT). The then recited the F3 Credo to leave no man behind but leave no man where you find
him.
Ringworm’s first visit to the Sanitarium, happy to have you at my VQ!
RW forgot to remind everyone he was not a professional, skipped the warm-orama, and pressed
on with the beatdown, to get the PAX moving and warmed up.
The beatdown comprised four stations at the corners of the Monarch High School property.
Running from station to station. As many stations at time allowed.

COT:
It took 8 months for RW to settle in for his first VQ. While committing in early December 2023,
he thought the snow would be over by the end of March. Much to his surprise, his decision
resulted in snow for the state of Nebraska. He informed everyone he had the memory of a
goldfish and would not repeat Psalms 13, but the gist was “Cry out to the Lord, and he will
answer”. He reminded everyone that God answers in his time, and not ours. But to be persistent
in your cries and God will answer. RW’s cries were answered by the chance meeting of his wife
and being placed in a position for Busser to invite him to F3. 8 months later, he’s still with is
Free and Always outside workout buddies, with a new sense of purpose.
Thank you for all the encouragement and support for my VQ, it was an honor to lead a workout
in the elements with all HIMs there. ~ Red Wire
