CSAUP Qs:
East: Polaroid
West: Snickers
Sarpy: Sweet Roll
Central: Honey Stinger/ Vandelay
Weather: Yea it was cold (10 degrees) but bearable for a CSAUP
The Canyon was the host F3 Omaha AO this turn. This premiere AO has acres of beatdown space to fulfill the First F component of the CSAUP, however the mandatory Indoor Coffeeteria location was the biggest challenge to properly host the 2025 CSAUP. Much appreciation and thanks to Polaroid to bring Creighton’s Rasmussen Center to the forefront to allow for the much needed indoor Second F component to be in a warm confine.
Initially planning for Eastbound O’Town began about 6 weeks prior with the East Sector’s leadership team of Frosty, Othello, Gunner, Doll Face and Polaroid. At this point a six mile CSAUP course was discussed and reaching out to the other F3 Omaha Sectors to establish a Leadership team.
Frosty was able to bring Snickers, Sweat Roll, Honey Stinger to the head leadership roles. From this point each of these men was able to get six additional leaders from each sector to be part Qs of the different beatdown locations.
We continued to perform weekly, Teams meetings for the next four weeks on each Monday leading to Jan.4, 2025 CSAUP Day.
The CSAUP Leadership team performed two Dress Rehearsal runs prior to Jan. 4. One dress rehearsal was Sunday Dec. 15 because of the ice storm the day before. The second dress rehearsal was Dec.28.

At the 6th station, Qs performed namarama videos. After Namarama, everyone gathered together at 8th Street to begin the run back to Creighton’s Campus.
We completed the work out portion of the CSAUP at approximately 0815 for a large group photo in front of the shovel flags and downtown skyline.
After the Group picture, all Pax went indoors for COT and Prayer.
Sweet Roll took the mike inside the Rasmussen Center to execute the closing of the CSAUP. He had the Nugent flag passed along at this time. He recognized the 3 FNGS. Caccon and I apologize for not getting the other 2 FNGs.
Sweet Roll provided a spectacular COT.
Prayer was presented by Snickers. His prayer metioned a biblical verse and a quote by Jimmy Carter.
Snicker concluded the CSAUP with a fantastic jingle he came up with himself. Very clever and well done.
