My VQ: Testing the F3’s principles of leadership development.  Can we follow as well as lead?   Can we be an Indian and a Chief?

  1. Started off Side-straddle hops and slowing increasing the tempo.  Ending with 19 reps versus 20 (that would be a deceptive cadence in music theory- ending on a note/chord that’s unexpected).
  2. Modified “Route 66” utilizing big boys as our vehicle…. starting with 5 and increasing by 5 at every light pole.  going contradictory to Route 66 standards (not 11 light poles in route)
  3. Dirty Elevens (Mike Tyson, Squats)
  4. Another Modified Route 66 with side hammers.  Starting with 5 and increasing 5 at each light pole
  5. Tripe Check (chair position, plank, sprint with 3 partners, 3 sets)
  6. Ending with Iron Hulk (going to 7 instead of 10)
  7. 5 Burpees
  8. Pax called exercise to finish

 Lots of mumblechatter due to modified route 66, Calls on time (like i didn’t have my watch on ((maybe it was to aide me cause i wasn’t wearing my glasses- YEAH, that was it!)), and going to 7 instead of 10 of the Iron-Hulk.  As the military cliché states…”you’re not happy unless you’re bit$hing!   WE HAD A HAPPY BUNCH!

Love the comradery,  challenges, accountability to make each man better ! .  As Proverbs states….As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

To answer the question ….”Can we follow as well as lead”?  YES, but even better…the notion is as General George Patton was quoted as saying….”Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.”   These men were here for purpose!
