The BackBlast:

It was a big day at The Chieftain, our first “official”?? Q School and also a RESPECT birthday for Sandtrap! The Q School went well for the most part I think, but every attempt I had made to properly recognize Sandtrap on his 50th ended in a crash and burn including the 5am Dunkin Donuts stop (they open at 5am) only to find out they had no doughnuts (I guess their doughnut maker chose the fartsack…or decided it was “NOT time to make the doughnuts”). As was said during CoT, its the thought that counts…so from the Lowes family garden, Sandtrap here’s a cucumber. Happy Birthday! Much RESPECT to you brother!

For the Q School beatdown, I mostly followed the workout/outline found on the VQ/Q101 section of our website: https://f3indianvalley.com/vq/

Circle up for Dealer’s Choice Call on PAX to call out exercises. Each PAX had a turn to pick an exercise and lead the PAX. Well done by everyone, but I’d say the two that most perfectly nailed how to call an exercise and how to count test were Woody and Foxhole!
