Inspiration from Jocko Podcast – http://jockopodcast.com/2017/04/26/72-losing-a-son-to-war-true-honor-and-leadership-that-applies-to-real-life-w-col-tom-manion/

“If not me, then who?” – 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC

In our daily lives we pass by so many things where our first thought is ‘Somebody else will take care of that.’ While listening to the Jocko Podcast (link is above), I heard of 1st Lt. Travis Manion who lived by the thought of “If not me, then who?” This really struck me as did the story of his life and death. I’ve been dwelling on the thought of “If not me, then who?” for this past week and realize we can apply this to many aspects of our lives. From our marriages and families, to our jobs, to our F3 workouts. Look for those opportunities to step and be leaders or just to make a difference.

Rolling the Dice

THE SCENE: Warm and muggy, slight drizzle towards the end almost provided some relief
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Michael Phelps

LBAC x 20 IC each way

Plank Jacks x 20 IC

Hand Release Merkins x 20 OYO
THA-THANG:
Moseyed to end of parking lot.  Took turns rolling 3 dice, green for exercise, other 2 multiplied for number of reps.

  • 1. Burpees
  • 2. Dips
  • 3. Out & Back
  • 4. Merkins
  • 5. Mtn Climbers (4-count)
  • 5. Lt. Dangers

Once again, like the last time we did the dice, the reps tended to stay low (under 20) and we hit the Lt. Dangers a number of times.  Fast-n-Easy was disappointed to not roll 36 burpees.  We nearly made it thru 3 rounds of rolls.

Moved to near the front of the school for some Brickyard (Ascending) Bear Crawls.

Back to starting point for about 5 minutes of dealer’s choice Mary ending with prisoner get-ups

Dice Game

  • THE SCENE: Typical August morning, warm and muggy
    F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
    WARM-O-RAMA:
    LBAC
  • Michael Phelps
  • Imperial Squat Walkers
  • Goofballs
    THA-THANG:
    We moseyed over to the front opposite side of the parking lot to get under a light so we could play a dice game.  Using 3 dice, Orange determined the exercise and Green x Red determined reps.  We made it thru nearly 3 rounds of rolls, taking turns.  Exercises were:
  • 1.  Sprints
  • 2. Lt. Dans
  • 3. SSH (4-count, IC)
  • 4. Merkins
  • 5. Dips
  • 6. Burpees

While we never had anyone roll a combination that was over 25 reps, the majority of rolls for exercise were 2s.  Everyone was over the Lt. Dans by the end and I was accused of bringing loaded dice.

MARY:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Even Now faith.  From the story of Lazarus, the disciples were afraid of returning to Judea due to threat of stoning.  Once Jesus explained to them that Lazarus was dead, Thomas said he would go that he would die with him.  They still didn’t get it.  Once they arrived, Martha told Jesus that if he had been there, Lazarus would not have died, but EVEN NOW I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.  Then Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”  We should have the faith of Martha who believed that Jesus could conquer death instead of being like the disciples and either fearing death or not believing in Jesus’s power.

8 HIMS.  We welcome Chaucer for his first time here at Brickyard

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Like in the deal breaker togetherness is important.  We are there to carry, encourage, and support one another in life.  John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no on than this, than to lay’s one life for his friends.”

This is exemplified by Major Bruce Crandall in Ia Drang Valley during Vietnam.  Major Crandall  and his choppers doubled their burden air lifting troops into battle, but also lifted the dead and wounded from the battle scene when medevac choppers refused to fly into conflict.
