Introduction

Thank you to the fourteen men that came out this morning for a HERO WOD in honor of CIA Paramilitary Officer (PMO) Johnny Michael Spann (USMC-Retired) that died twenty-three years ago on 25 November 2001 in Afghanistan. PMO Spann exemplified Leadership – Service – Action!  Thank you to @Deliverance for having our six!

Warm-O-Rama

PAX got warmed up with seven (7) Count Motivators, twenty count Hairy Rockets, and 12 count Good Mornings.

The Thang

The HERO WOD honored PMO Spann and his sacrifice twenty-three years ago with an impossible task: complete twenty three rounds of: 5 Burpees; 10 Blockeys;15 Coupon Squats; 10 Overhear-Press; 5 Burpees; and a 400 Meter Run. The WOD ended with recovery Broga since PAX’s bodies are not rental cars.

Circle of Trust

The Circle of Trust focused on Johnny Michael Spann and his core values of Leadership – Service – Action. PMO Spann was interrogating Al Qai’da and Taliban prisoners in Afghanistan and found himself alone during a prison uprising. Spann had the impossible task of defending himself against hundreds of prisoners. There was not one coming to save him. Spann lived the same lifestyle as F3 PAX: Leadership – Service – Action. Spann would respect F3 Men for showing up, leading one-another and in the community, service under the 3-F Mission, and action – being there no matter that challenge.

 

Naked Man Moleskin

Gisele was called out for not playing Yacht-Rock as advertising in the Pre-Blast, and should have been true to that post.
