As I rolled into the wet parking lot at BLP, I saw an unfamiliar truck I thought hay a new FNG this should be fun (I didnt know what we were in for). The rain was light and Patch had just put out the flag. It saw 5:28 am and the FNG walked up wanting to pray would not have been a problem at 5:10 but we are about to do the thing so I told him to hold it till the end ( that didn’t happen). It’s now 5:30 so on with the warm up. I gave the standard disclaimer and we are off.

Next, we moseyed to the rock pill for a little round robin pax choice. I stared with curls for the girls as I did I looked over to my right and the FNG had a rock about the size of a walnut. Around the circle we went till we get to the FNG he wants to pray again so Wimpy says its time for some hallelujahs as the FNG did his hallelujahs he was halleluing. (don’t know if that’s a word)

We now mosey to the first intersection. The FNG is ready to pray again but its time for 15 Burpees and on to the next intersection but first back for the 6. Next intersection 15 jump lunges then on to the next intersection but first back for the 6. On to the next intersection and 15 V Ups but first back for the 6. On to the last intersection 15 Carolina dry docks but first back for the 6. Now to the middle of BLP for 20 LBC’s. FNG still wants to pray but we have to get to the end first.

Now that we have our exercises, I explain what to do, 1 intersection 15 of that exercises back to the middle for 20 LBC’s and to another intersection repeat. So off we go as I am doing my Carolina dry docks I hear something coming from the middle of BLP it’s the FNG pray, but as he prays he is dropping F-bombs one after another in his prayers (first time I have heard that style of prayer). He does this until we are finished.

We have about 5 minutes left so we circle up for a little mary. I start and we go around while Patch is getting an ear full from the FNG. When we finish with mary a little mosey to the flag. It’s 6:15
