BOOTCAMP VETERANS

Two cold steel military men and three VMI-hardened gloom warriors posted to The Creek for YHC’s last leg of the DTH-Summer-Q-Tour. This small AO’s well lit parking lot and accompanying cool temps seemed a perfect match for a high intensity bootcamp beatdown…so YHC unleashed the F3 Deck.

NMS: 

  • YHC really enjoyed sharing this morning’s F3 deck beatdown with brothers who’ve all had some legit bootcamp history. We moved fast, cadence was counted with gusto, and those 45 minutes just flew by. YHC was confused a couple times with Rounders and Kryptonite counting in the teens with “…one-and-five…one-and-six…” which sounds a whole lot like “…25…26” …but we got it sorted out in the end. Yes, Corned Beef had his undies in a bunch about counting beyond ten. When 0600 rolled around and the lights cut out, YHC could barely make out what the next cards said – the Gloom is STRONG these days! YHC modified the summer tour with a self-challenge to Q every F3RVA morning bootcamp. It’s been great to get acquainted with all the other AO’s out there, and the modified challenge kept YHC’s IT band from a sure and certain death had YHC attempted to join the running groups. Appreciate ya’ll posting to follow YHC today – keep battling those Jesters and headlocking your neighbors to post. As Flatline always says – only those who post understand!
Share.

  2. The F3 deck was brutal today and glad to see rounders in the gloom…been awhile. Though our numbers were small today, the impact was big in learning more about my F3 brothers and taking on the Deck. A hearty welcome to Kyptonite and DTH to another Daville AO. See you all in the gloom. Cheers from CB

  3. That was a great workout and catching up with CB was most excellent. It didn’t feel too far off from the military workouts I’ve been doing this summer. Good to see Trout and Kryptonite as well and excellent Q by DTH.
