Q: 2 percent
PAX: citrus, Ice Tea, Gherkin, bogey, Dial-up, Hobbyhorse, Lazlo, Robo, Apples, Strange Brew, Shake ‘n’ Bake, Spud, Offsides FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
WARMUP: SSH; Imperial Walkers; Hill Billy’s; Itty Bitty Arm Circles; Moroccan Nightclubs; Willie Mays Hays; Michael Phelps; Downward Dog; World’s Greatest Stretch.

THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a merkin was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• PAX paired up, each pair took turns carrying the Festivus pole ~100m and back while the other PAX ran alongside to make sure they didn’t drop the pole. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Soccer kicks
o Star Jumps
o Heisman Shuffle
o Bonnie Blairs
• Pull up bar – 1 round each, max effort, while remaining PAX alternated between Wall Sits and Balls to the Wall • 20 Upper Deckers, 20 Derkins, 20 Dips

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The ARC, AMBAB

COT: Holiday traditions are important. Whether they are quiet and enjoyable, or loud and offensive, don’t ever let anyone tell you that they’re not important. And no matter what holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….I wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.

THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around the circle at the 50 yard line to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, one Merkin was performed collectively by the group. – As Festivus rolled on, we came to the Feats of Strength:
PAX lined up in pairs on the 50-yard line. Each team took turns carrying the Festivus pole to the goal line while the other team member did a high knee, jubilant skip alongside of him. Switching positions at the goal line. The remaining PAX performed a number of exercises while waiting their turns: Mountain Climbers, Star Jumps, LBC’s, Heisman Shuffle, Bonnie Blair’s
• Headed over to the pull up bars – 2 rounds, max reps each, while remaining PAX performed o Soccer kicks
o Peter Parkers
o Freddie Mercuries
o Dips
o Break Dancers
• Short mosey to the bike racks, aka Bear Crawl arches where we…well….Bear crawled under the bike racks. • 2 rounds of 10 Upper Deckers, 20 Derkins, 20 Bulgarian Split Squats • 1 round of 40 Dips

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The ARC is coming. Sadly, we are discontinuing the 12-hour Ruck option this year because too many people died last year.

COT: No matter what holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….I wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.

Firehead to Q on Wednesday

COT:

My wife and I took a tour of the Naval Academy this weekend in Annapolis. The tour was fire – definitely recommend if you are ever in the area! Like many campuses, the USNA is full of buildings named after key donors. Our tour guide mentioned, however, that one of their biggest donors was Ross Perot. Many buildings were built with the donations he made to the university. However, none are named after him. Mr. Perot insisted that his name not be used, stating that a donation/gift is not really a gift if public acknowledgment is expected in return. When our guide said this, it reminded me of Matthew 6:1-4 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.” “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets.” “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”
