THE THANG: Pax circled up for three rounds of ring of fire with PAX bear crawling around the circle as pacer. Two exercises per round, we alternated with each bear crawling Pax. They were: Merkins OMC/Body Weight Squats OMC; Plank Jacks IC/Bonnie Blairs OYO; Alternating Shoulder Tap IC/Jump Squats OMC. Before the third round we took a Thunderstruck break: high plank with a Merkin for every ‘Thunder’; high knees with a Burpee for every ‘Thunderstruck.’ We closed out with a game of Ultimate using a large bouncy soft awkward exercise ball. Burpee every time it hit the ground.
MARY: Worked in with exercises for each Ultimate score. LBC, Freddie Mercury, Toy Soldiers. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Happy Hour transitions to dive bar tour in July.
COT: We’re entering one of the two hardest times of year to post consistently: the swamp-like height of summer and the ice encrusted dead of mid-winter. Keep grinding and you get rewarded with nice cool perfect days like this every now and then.

COT:
Q-Source 1.11 Study

The QSource does not prescribe any particular religion, but rather that a man must have some kind of belief system to Accelerate in life. By Belief System, we mean the conviction that there is a governing force outside of oneself that provides an ordered explanation for our existence and delivers consequences for the violation of that order.

The only proven buffer to a Leader’s temptation to abuse his power comes from Virtue, and that is not self-generated. It is a result of character formed through study, practice, and adherence to a Belief System. Absent that, a Leader will make up his own rules because he has the power to do so. He will become corrupt, because that is what power (unrestrained by Guardrails) does to a man.

Bricks: A singular positive Habit that is Advantageous to the individual or others.

Bricklaying: The joining of Bricks into a Routine. F3 has a podcast called 43 feet that discusses bricklaying.

Routines: A conjunction of Bricks that forms a Guardrail.

Guardrails: Foundational precepts that protect and Incentivize Acceleration to Advantage. The better the guardrails, the greater we can accelerate to advantage. The less developed the guardrails are, the less willing we are to accelerate.

Learning leads to doing–doing leads to learning–and learning leads back to doing, in a virtuous cycle allowing us to set higher standards for ourselves and those we lead. If we stop the learning-doing cycle, and as soon as we stop, we would begin to Decelerate.

CoT: “You are about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.” – Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

It is hard to conceive the epic scope of this decisive battle that foreshadowed the end of Hitlers dream of Nazi domination. Operation Overlord was the largest air, land, and sea operation undertaken before or since June 6, 1944. The landing included over 5,000 ships, 11,000 airplanes, and over 150,000 service men.

 After years of meticulous planning and seemingly endless training, for the Allied Forces, it all came down to this: The boat ramp goes down, then jump, swim, run, and crawl to the cliffs. Many of the first young men (most not yet 20 years old) entered the surf carrying eighty pounds of equipment. They faced over 200 yards of beach before reaching the first natural feature offering any protection. Blanketed by small-arms fire and bracketed by artillery, they found themselves in hell.

When it was over, the Allied Forces had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties; more than 4,000 were dead. Yet somehow, due to planning and preparation, and due to the valor, fidelity, and sacrifice of the Allied Forces, Fortress Europe had been breached.

As stated by President George W. Bush in his dedication speech for the National D-Day Memorial, “Fifty-seven years ago, America and the nations of Europe formed a bond that has never been broken. And all of us incurred a debt that can never be repaid. Today, as America dedicates our D-Day Memorial, we pray that our country will always be worthy of the courage that delivered us from evil and saved the free world.”
