BO holds a dear place in my heart because it was the 2ndpost I’ve done when I started in F3. Ma Bell was the Q and I got my introduction to the 12 Days of Christmas. 12 Days of Christmas is to spur happiness and gift giving. OH NO!!!! It provided pain and fatigue. I had to bring it back for the nostalgia it brings.
0545 start – I introduced my Co-Q Franklin who DM me earlier in the week to Co-Q because he had to fulfill the role at BO to complete his leadership challenge. I gladly agreed. Proud of you Brother for your leadership! After the intro, Franklin led the group on a mosey to the bank for warm-ups. SSH for 12, GM for 12, Merkins for 12, Sir Fazio for 12, etc. After every exercise, he kept referring to the # count. Clue for the themed workout. With warm-ups complete, we mosey’d over to the Ashworth parking lot where Franklin handed the PAX over to me to begin the thang; hence, thang in the middle.
I pulled out my speaker to get the music the Christmas mode started and brought out the weinkes. I let the PAX know our task in the gloom is to spread cheer with the 12 Days of Christmas. Broke the PAX up into 4 groups. Each group was to stay together in the theme of no man left behind and always picking up the 6.
1st: A lap around the pickle
2nd: 2 Catalina Wine Maker
3rd: 3 Mountain Climber Merkins
4th: 4 Prisoner Squats

8th: 8 Monkey Humpers
9th: 9 Hello Dolly’s
10th: 10 Boat Canoes

After we spread cheer, pain and fatigue we mosey’d back to the parking lot for Mary which I turned the PAX over to Franklin to do.
