Full Metal Beatdown

Preamble:

I am gunnery sergeant Mixalot your senior Q instructor.  From now on you will perform the exercises suggested, if you so choose, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be “Aye”. Do you HIMs understand that?

If you PAX leave my park, if you survive this Q you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day, you are pax. [Redacted – but certainly not a long string of insulting profanity to insult the PAX]  Because it is hard, you will not like my Q. But the more you hate it, the more you will become stronger. It is hard but it is good. There is no favoritism here. I do not look down on administrators, IT guys, Salespeople or engineers. Here you are all equally worthy. And my orders are to invigorate all PAX who the get up in the gloom and workout with my beloved F3. Do you HIMs understand that?

This is A Full Metal beatdown – (Music based Beatdown – all metal-ish aggressive music, ‘cept for the first song.)

COT:

COT  – Script Kiddie shared an acceleration point about the movie Hacksaw Ridge and Desmond Doss and what it means to have courage – it may be that courage is exhibited in the mundane challenges of everyday life and that we need to be thoughtful about how we define courage.
