CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Leadership – As men in our communities, we need to look for the opportunities to step up into leadership positions and not have the expectation that someone else will do it. We also need to seek out those opportunities for us to become mentors to those men not as far along the path as we are and to seek out mentors for ourselves. Everyone of us need to be sharpening the men following us and in turn getting sharpened.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Detachment B-52; 5th Special Forces Group; 1st Special Forces

  1. Minimize fatigue because tired becomes careless
  2. If you show confidence, your team will have confidence
  3. If TL loses temper it effects judgement. Keep cool, think ahead, keep alternative plan in mind. Don’t be afraid to take advice from Team.
  4. Team Work – The key to success, only comes through constant practice and training. Realism must be injected into all phases of training.
  5. Teams that have good physical training have less health problems.
  6. Use tact when reprimanding. Don’t call someone out in front of their peers. Take them aside and let them decide how they are going to correct themselves.

MOLESKIN:
F3 is about building leaders. We build ourselves physically to endure more each day/week but we also learn how to lead the PAX. We can lead in any state and any AO. We are universally trained to lead.

It has been my honor and privileged to be the Brickyard AO Q but it is time to pass the leadership role to another. Herbie will be taking over as AO Q in the next couple of weeks. He is very capable and will lead us well. It will be a new voice up front and encourage, lead, and challenge all of us.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
3rd F and Convergence on 8/10 will take place at 7am Big Ball (Worlds Fair) followed by breakfast and 3rd F at Redeemer Church at 17th and Highland.

THA-THANG:
Mosey across Emory Road to the First Tennessee bank parking lot and pair up.  Dora style work, one partner does Galway Hookers across parking lot (4 lunge steps, 1 supersquat, 4 lunge steps, 2 supersquats, continue) to cone and the run back.  The other partner works through:

  • Burps x100
  • Calf raises x100 (on 4-ct)
  • 200 high knees (left/right 1)

Once the partner returns, swap and continue through the exercises.  All groups ended about the same time, so a quick mosey through the parking lots, and back across Emory Road right in front of splash pad.  Quick round of ATM’s to even out the leg work we just did, then continue mosey to pick up a pet rock at the lot just beyond the park.  Grab your rock and mosey with it across Emory to the Health and Wellness parking lot (fitting right?).

Four corners routine, sort of.  Each exercise set with rocks, then run carrying rock overhead to the next corner.

  • Front rock raises x20
  • Eight count bodybuilders x10
  • Rock OH squats x20
  • Brickyard manmakers x10

Finish the four corners, then rinse and repeat for a second round.  After a quick joke about a third round, its time for the shoulder shredder.  Overhead claps on a 4 count, stopping every quarter to pick some cherries.  TAKE US TO 100!

Get rock overhead and mosey back across Emory Road for the last time and take the rock back and return it.  Mosey back toward start point for a little cardio.

Sprints are around 30 yards, all done together.

  • 80% sprint, immediately followed by 10 merkins on 4-ct IC
  • 80% sprint, immediately followed by 10 cobras on 4-ct IC
  • 100% sprint, AYG, immediately followed by 20 SSH IC

9 strong with plenty of visitors: Herbie, Biohazard, Fob, Manilow, Pele, Lilydipper, Fast N Easy, Amazon, Abort
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Amazon spoke about the importance of focusing on others who might be struggling.  Lessons he has learned in GORUCK events, specifically his most recent HTL.  During those events, and in life in general, we find ourselves struggling and contemplating giving up.  But if you look around, there is generally someone worse off than we are.  If you focus your energy on them and helping them keep moving, its funny how you forget the pain you’re in or how tired you are.  Focus on helping someone else, and you’ll be amazed how far that takes you as well.  AYE!!

There are times when things seem so bad and that there is no light. It is those times we must fight. With our brothers in F3 we are not alone in our fight. We must be willing to share those experiences and ask our brothers for help. When we see our brothers struggling, join them in their fight.
