BRR this, BRR that. I too am guilty, but today we took a break from all this mumble to settle in for a hard working day at FWD. 5 HIDAs launched for a team training run and the boot campers were on our way.

Warm-up: Over to the circle for ball weaves Good morning SSH Sir Fazio + Seal + Overhead + Sir Fazio Quick feet + curb merkins on 10 and 15 counts The Thang: [Read More]

OK, this is getting strange. I don’t Q that often, but the last 4 out of 5, there has been some sort of Carpex 2nd F late nite event the night before my Q (just to be clear, late is def past 10:30 for me). Last night was no exception. After work I get couple texts from some of the Carpex boys, “You want to go see a movie”? 7 p,m. [Read More]

Late Sunday night (like 9 PM) I noticed that there was a Q change. Sir Joseph Smith Esquire was in the throes of sleep training and needed someone to take his Q. Pet Sounds undoubtedly pulled the short straw from the PAX at the Sublime concert and would be our substitute Q……………what could go wrong??? I mean the concert was at Koka Booth, just sleep in your BFT, set your alarm for 5:25 and figure out the rest. [Read More]

December 7th, June 6th, & more recently September 11th are important days for our country and days that I hope are never forgotten. Today at Back in Black, we paid tribute to the amazing bravery that took place 75 years ago today: 75 years ago today, really not that long ago in the scheme of things, 150,000 Allied troops began hitting the beaches of Normandy, France. It was the beginning of largest amphibious invasion ever known to mankind. [Read More]

YHC joined F3 four years ago, and Ma Bell was the Q at my first workout. Back then there was only one AO per day, Monday through Friday, and he was Q’ing the whole week to celebrate his 50th birthday. Remember that number, it will be important later. I found the backblast from that first post and modified the workout for today, with Ma Bell’s assistance. It was a little tougher than a normal Disco Duck beatdown. [Read More]
