7 Pax were present in the gloom @ the #DragonSlayer. Here’s what went down:
Welcome/Disclaimer
The Thang
Zamperini KB from base a really long way to the hill (down the road and past the school).
KB Blackjack:
“If you’re gonna play the game, boys, you gotta learn to play it right”. First one to 21 wins the hand and ends the round for all, so OYO:
-20 burpees to 1 lbc’s (take that hill and descend back down)
-19 burpees to 2 curls (hill)
-18 burpees to 3 curls (hill)
-17 burpees to 4 curls (hill)
-16 burpees to 5 curls (hill)
-15 burpees to 6 curls (hill)
-14 burpees to 7 curls (hill)
-13 burpees to 8 curls (hill)
-12 burpees to 9 curls (hill)
-11 burpees to 10 curls (hill)
Commercial break (recovery)
-20 WWII’s
Return to the Blackjack table
-10 burpees to 11 chest press (hill)
-9 burpees to 12 chest press (hill)
-8 burpees to 13 chest press (hill)
-7 burpees to 14 chest press (hill)
-6 burpees to 15 chest press (hill)
-5 burpees to 16 chest press (hill)
-4 burpees to 17 chest press
STOP DUE TO TIME
We did a total of 204 burpees, 55 curls, and 98 chest presses with a lot of hill running in between sets/reps.
Zamperini KB back to base
Recover, Recover
Moleskin:
Swiftie, Ichabod, AM/PM, Overbudget, Jobe, and Gambini all pushed through today. YHC is proud of these hard-charging Pax for not giving up. YHC is certain the none of these Pax regretted their decision to show today.
Gambini won the hand today at 17 and 4 as the dealer over-dealt his time due to an unreasonable amount of KB Zamperini. Wait…Gambini likes to Zamperini…you see what I did there? There’s also a high likelihood that he has a “wocket in his pocket” (C’mon, I was referring to Dr. Seuss). Thanks to AM/PM for lending YHC the keys to this great AO.

-There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.
-Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one
Until next time…

That is absolutely awful. Die Hard had us to a Pull-up/Burpee ladder at Samson. 5/1 and back, for a total of 15 burpees. Yes, we complained.
I went numb somewhere around round 3, I think I might have blacked out. The Q delivered on his PB.
Awful, perhaps from the outside. However, ask the Pax who were present and pushed through in the gloom. I bet they would all say that it was well worth it. They crushed it and can look back and be proud of their accomplishment. 💪🔥.
