The Crimson Badge of Honor

0

8 warriors entered the ring at Rockwood, having bid farewell to Birthday Boy Banksy, Iron PAX Hero Boberry, and demi-God Hardywood heading for The Iron Bridge. Not to be outdone by Poolboy at our newest SOJ AO, the Rock&Roll PAX welcomed TWO FNG’s – Katniss from the DTH pipeline and Swanson who saw a Gomer yard sign at Rockwood 2 weeks ago! Here’s how these fine men conquered the flesh, and YHC was honored with Merlot:

The THANG:

WARMERAMA: 

  • Moseyrama around the big lot and circle up in the side grass
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • Extended session of Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom
  • FNG Swanson is 44 – so we completed x44 Flutters IC to round out the warmerama

COP #1: 

  • Run (not mosey) around the loop to the smaller bball court
  • LINDSEY
  • WWII’s 30–>10
  • LBC’s 10–>30
  • Between sets, Bear Crawl Across, Lunge Back
  • Front-runners bring in the SIX

COP #2:

  • Mosey to the Tennis Courts
  • F3 PLANKOREVIEW
  • Plank it up in a tight circle
  • Hold 6” to review each F3 item, then push up and stretch between
  • F3 Mission
  • F3 Credo
  • F3 Core Principles 

COP #3:

  • BOOYAH LADDER
  • Partner up and complete x10 booyah merkins, then while one runs around the court, the other stays for chain smokers
  • Then complete x9 booyah merkins, and switch runner while other stays for smokers
  • Continue down to x1 booyah merkin
  • KATNISS honored the Q with Spilling Merlot at this point

DEEP DISH INTERMISSION:

  • DD made a personal request for Monkey Humpers (maybe in the hopes it would be easy?)
  • FNG Katniss is 30, so we completed x30 Copperhead-style monkey humpers IC …these are NOT easy! 

COP #4:

  • Moseyrama back to the large lot

  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS:  Beautiful morning to lead this fine group of men, and AWESOME to welcome a couple FNG’s to the brotherhood. That’s FOUR FNG’s for SOJ in a single morning! Well done guys!!! FNG Stewart recently brought his firstborn to YHC’s clinic, and was quick to accept the invite to F3 – he’s an absolute natural athlete and will be very quick to put his merlot-spilling days behind him! His nickname comes from being a long-time archer, and our genius Steamer came up with the Hunger Games main character – welcome KATNISS! Our second FNG is AJ who we headlocked a couple weeks ago at Rockwood and testifies to the Gomer yard sign being central in his choice to return. AJ is a lifer student working on his doctorate and does a lot of IT stuff for homeland security. The PAX had a LOT of ideas but we landed on a character from Parks&Rec who hates the government – welcome SWANSON! Keep posting guys. SOJ will continue to achieve addition by division as we grow and split to plant new AO’s. Yours AYE! ~DTH
