D-Day Tribute

Posted on June 6, 2019 | 3 minutes | 617 words |

December 7th, June 6th, & more recently September 11th are important days for our country and days that I hope are never forgotten. Today at Back in Black, we paid tribute to the amazing bravery that took place 75 years ago today: 75 years ago today, really not that long ago in the scheme of things, 150,000 Allied troops began hitting the beaches of Normandy, France. It was the beginning of largest amphibious invasion ever known to mankind. [Read More]

Hey There!

Posted on June 6, 2019 | 2 minutes | 270 words |

Started the morning with an EC run. I can’t remember who I ran with but while we were running a young man on his bike rode by, stopped and then came back to us and asked if we were with F3. Of course we said yes, told him where to go, and headed to the flag. His hospital name is Niko (with an N) and since he had posted in Davidson, his F3 name is “Hey There. [Read More]

The Term Paper

Posted on June 6, 2019 | 2 minutes | 305 words |

Today, at Flying Circus, 13 PAX celebrated two dates that will forever live in infamy. The first, June 6, 1944, the day when Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to begin the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany. The second, June 5, 2018, the day of my first F3 posting at Field of Dreams, led by Term Paper. To commemorate these two events, we replicated my first F3 Carpex experience designed by the famed Term Paper, and added some D-Day twists as well. [Read More]

Four More Years!

Posted on June 5, 2019 | 4 minutes | 648 words |

YHC joined F3 four years ago, and Ma Bell was the Q at my first workout. Back then there was only one AO per day, Monday through Friday, and he was Q’ing the whole week to celebrate his 50th birthday. Remember that number, it will be important later. I found the backblast from that first post and modified the workout for today, with Ma Bell’s assistance. It was a little tougher than a normal Disco Duck beatdown. [Read More]

What the Hill

The day didn’t start just like any other day. The FartShat was oh so close, butt didn’t rear its ugly head till the drive home from work, but that’s another story. With BRR around the corner, 94 days to go, the training has begun for many newbies and veterans alike. And feeling a little behind the curve following last years nipple run, it’s time to get into hill shape. Warm Up jog around the parking lot and circle up for various warmup exercises including runners stretch. [Read More]

A tribute to 151

Posted on June 4, 2019 | 2 minutes | 230 words |

151 on a Friday, not nearly that many at Phoenix the next morning, but still a chance to pay tribute. 1 FNG in the lot, a dang purrfect disclaimer and mission statement and it’s time to workout. Down to the lower lot. YHC encourages the young Mr. Miyagi to jump in a VQ a few warmup exercises. The kid did good, still much to learn, but he’s on the right path. [Read More]

YHC had not Q’d since we sent the guys to Peru so I was long overdue. A cool and clear spring morning brought strong numbers out to Salem Elementary. EC guys rolled in with a minute to spare and after a piecemeal disclaimer we began.
