Q: Room Service & Saul

Welcomed 40 PAX to a special edition of the Oracle as the OWH came out to learn more about F3 and spread the good word throughout the land.  Room service explained the mission of F3 along with the 3 F’s. Saul then went into the core values and gave the disclaimer. It was a hot one so modifying was going to be necessary.  

Moseyed down the drive to the soccer fields north of the shovel flag.

Bear Crawl up the hill to get a little bit closer to our friends from the OWH.  From there the PAX formed another circle where they did 3 rounds of ATM’s (7 Alt Shoulder Taps, 7 Tempo Merkins, 7 Merkins).  

THE THANG:

The PAX counted off in groups of 8 and were instructed to go to their number to begin the 8 stations of pain.  Only rule was if you came upon the group in front of you to Burpee, Plank, or Al Gore – sweat and bugs everywhere…

6MOM:

PAX split up into 2 groups for separate Mary and COT.  

LBC – 10IC

American Hammer – 3 sets of 10IC with 10 count rest in between – CSI called out his usual Spanglish cadence, Selleck showed off his French with a solid 10 count of rest but the PAX was treated with the call of the year when Gipper pulled out Arabic – Well done gents!

COT:  

With the World Herald out to cover F3 and the week ahead of celebrating our independence it was time for the PAX to give themselves a pat on the back.  The message of acceleration is great but needs to be balanced with giving ourselves credit every so often. You are a great group of men and today felt like the day to send out an atta boy to the PAX!

TAPS:

Aye!  Room Service & Saul
