Today was VQ for Xbox and Humvee. We were a little nervous for only being at our 9th F3 beatdown. But with the encouragement of our brothers, we had faith that everything was going to be alright.
Side note, as we pull up to the beatdown Xbox started to complain of stomach pain. This frightened me, due to the fact I did not want to back out of our 1st Q (VQ). I encouraged him to give it a shot, just as the men of F3 have encouraged me from day one. Moral of the story is in our minds it’s easy easy to succumb to fear and anxiety about certain situations. Especially if they are new to us. All it takes sometimes, is a little willingness and perseverance to fight through that “feeling”.
At the end he turned to Uptown Girl and myself and told us he was happy that he stuck it out. Praise God. I feel at that moment, Xbox was teaching me a lesson about overcoming. Sometimes the hardest part is starting. Someone once said
“You don’t have to be great to start. But you have to start to be great.”

MOSEY DOWN TO THE PAVILION
THE THANG: DECK OF DEATH
We split into 4 teams of 3 men. Each team took one of the four suits. There was team spades, team clubs, team hearts and team diamonds. Each team took turns drawing a card. Then the team who drew that card for that particular exercise had the choice to do the exercise with the other three teams, or mosey around the outside of the pavilion, and when done with the mosey, jump in and do the exercise with the other teams until number of repetitions was complete.
Humvee & X-box chose the deck of death due to the fact that we needed to make sure we could fulfill the workout for the full hour. The men of F3 participated whole heartedly. We got through about 1/2 of the deck. It was a serious beatdown we quickly found out that they don’t call it the Deck of Death for nothing…
