Veterans Day at MASH

Warm up:  Pledge of Allegiance; 22 SSH; 11 butt kickers

The Thang:

Mosey to the Murphy Center stairs for 11 laps with 2 burpees at the bottom each time

Mosey to the Minges tunnel.  Each PAX calls 11 seconds BTW followed by 11 WWI

Mosey to the Charlie Brown Tennis Court Hill.  11 merkins at the top run to the bottom for 11 more merkins and bear crawl to the top (3 rounds)

Mosey to the Minges sledding hill.  11 WWII at the top, run down and do 11 WWII at the bottom and run back up (3 rounds)

Mosey to the bottom of the Minges parking lot by the bus stop.  Run suicides in the entire parking lot as a team stopping at each tree doing one of the four exercises of the day led by one PAX member (burpee/Slim Jim , WWI/Newfie, merkin/Minnesota Fats, WWII/Barefoot)

Was headed back to the flag when Newfie shouted out “is that all you got”; so we made a pit stop at the Minges tunnel on the way back for alternating PAX calling 11 seconds BTW and one of the four exercises of the day (Slim Jim / Merkin; Barefoot / WWI; Minnesota Fats / Burpee; Newfie / WWII)

Back to the flag.  615am

Prayers:  Slim Jim’s 7 month old grandson was admitted to the hospital at 130am today with pneumonia, Barefoot’s family friend Sue Catherine lost her husband who was a Veteran to cancer; Prayers for our Veteran’s and their families (Newfie’s father committed suicide when he was 7 years old.  He was a Vietnam Vet)

Announcements:  Check the website www.f3enc.com

I saw a message on slack last night that Panther needed a Q for today, so YHC jumped at the opportunity to lead on Veterans Day (11/11).  I heard Bench mention at the Commons on Sunday that 22 Veterans a day commit suicide.  That number really hit home this morning when Newfie mentioned he lost his Dad at 7 years old.  Hope everyone spends today reflecting on the Veterans and our active military and their families.  We live in the greatest country in the world and we owe a great deal of gratitude to all the men and women put their lives on the line for us everyday.

Have a great Monday and hope to see you in the gloom this week
