Following the PAXville beatdown this morning, Goose and Popeye were discussing mental toughness. That point where you are up against the wall, begging for the pain to end\u2026for someone to save you. Popeye commented, \u201cWell, it\u2019s got to end at some point.\u201d Through the endorphins kicking and my legs destroyed by humping monkeys, I was reminded of a similar sentiment.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven, a Navy Seal, delivered a commencement speech at The University of Texas. No doubt, many of you are familiar with it. Adm. McRaven shared 10 lessons he learned from BUDS training, considered the most grueling trials the military has to offer. He shared these as advice to help the young graduates \u201cchange the world.\u201d If you haven\u2019t watched it, you should. The link is below.<\/p>\n

All of the lessons are relatable to civilian life, but it was #10 that most stood out to me. The lesson discussed a brass bell that hung in the center of the BUDS training facility, visible to all of the candidates.<\/p>\n

McRaven said, \u201cAll you have to do to quit is ring the bell.<\/p>\n

Ring the bell, and you no longer have to wake up at five o\u2019clock. <\/p>\n

Ring the bell and you no longer have to be in the freezing cold swims. <\/p>\n

Ring the bell and you no longer have to do the runs, the obstacle course, the PT, and you no longer have to endure the hardships of training. <\/p>\n

All you have to do is ring the bell to get out. <\/p>\n

If you want to change the world, DON’T EVER, EVER RING THE BELL.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/iframe> \n——————–<\/p>\nWithout hesitation, each of you, the Men of F3 Thibodaux, personify this idea. And perhaps none more than our stalwart Goose. F3 has a term, \u201cIM3,\u201d which is a Man\u2019s statement to the PAX that \u201cI AM THIRD.\u201d The idea of \u2018living third\u2019 means that as men, we deliberately place ourselves third behind God and our Community (including our families).<\/p>\nWhen I started F3, it was about ME. I needed to get in shape. I needed an outlet. I needed to fit into my pants. I needed to make friends\u2026like real adult, male friends. <\/p>\nI needed\u2026something. <\/p>\nI believe Goose’s vision of F3 teaches us that those needs, while they may be important, only matter when they are pursued by virtue of servant leadership. As men, there can be no greater call than to love God through serving our families and our community. <\/p>\nIn this light, \u2018never ringing the bell\u2019 is not about working through our own pain, nor is it about serving our own needs. Rather, it is a decision to put our oxygen mask on first before assisting others. <\/p>\nOur strength comes not from \u2018Man Makers\u2019, Goblet Squats, or Thrusters (well maybe for Wet Tap). By ringing the bell, we would give up on far more than just ourselves. The stakes are too high. It\u2019s an awesome and terrifying charge. <\/p>\nOf course, no man can do it alone, and that is where God and each of you come in. Every beatdown, every exercise, every rep, every prayer\u2026I am surrounded by humble warriors who REFUSE to quit. Not for your own sakes, but for the call you CHOSE to answer. <\/p>\nGoose, you are the definition of a servant leader. It would be impossible to describe the impact you have had on so many of us (cardboard cutouts of your likeness not excluded). Besides…your humility wouldn\u2019t tolerate the praise anyway. <\/p>\nInstead, I\u2019ll just say, thank you. Thank you from all of us\u2026for never, EVER ringing the bell.<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nLast Stanzas from Today’s Story:<\/p>\n\u201cMaybe F3 doesn’t only come from beatdowns – or a backblast word. \nMaybe F3, just perhaps – means humility, servant leadership, striving to live third! <\/p>\nAnd what happened then? Well, in Paxville they say \nThe side vents on Goose\u2019s short shorts grew three sizes that day! <\/p>\nFrom that day forth, Goose built out his legacy; \nTeaching men where they should stand, behind God and their family<\/p>\nThough – from the HEART of the BayoU, he soon will move on<\/p>\nIn PAXville – the HEART of the Goose Q, we\u2019ll still carry on.<\/p>\nMerry Christmas!<\/p>\nSYITG,<\/p>\nYankee Jeaux<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nThe Ridiculous Beatdown<\/p>\nWarmarama\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\nSSHs \nAbe Vigodas (slow windmills) – Prancer is a terrible movie, btw. \nArm circles \nSquats \nImperial Squat Walkers \nSelf Love \nShark hops \nPartners \nMosey to baseball field, bring coupons<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nTribute to Anker (For Unto Us a Child Is Born – Handel)\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\u201cFor unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace\u201d (Isaiah 9:6).<\/p>\nBurpees on: Son, Child, Wonderful, Counselor, God, Father, Prince of Peace (approx. 43 burpees)<\/p>\nThang 1: Goose Training Camp\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n– Narration #1 (this was far toooo long)<\/p>\nDora\u2019s \n– P1 runs \n– P2 J\u2019Lo\u2019s, Plank Jacks, Mountain Climbers, chilcutt peter parkers \n– Flapjack \n– Four sets \nMosey to playground<\/p>\nRoof Crawling Practice \n– P1 bear crawl to other side of hill; at bottom, 20 derkins; traverse the apparatus, go down the slide, mosey back to partner \n– P2 does Genuflects \n– Flapjack \nMosey to PAXville<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nThang 2: The Looting of Paxville\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n– Narration #2<\/p>\nHouse 1 – \u201cSmooth Like Honey(suckle)\u201d Home of the Smoothie Sting \n– AMRAP \n– P1 Nur to cone, sprint back \n– P2 monkey humpers \n– MOT – Bear Crawl or Crab Walk<\/p>\nHouse 2 – \u201cDr. and Mr. Owens\u201d \n– AMRAP \n– Man Makers \n– MOT – Bear Crawl or Crab Walk<\/p>\nHouse 3 – \u201cSt. Cardinal Co-Cathedral and Coffee Co.\u201d \n– AMRAP \n– T – BOMBs (start in crab position, legs out together, legs apart, legs out together, back to crab position \n– MOT – Bear Crawl or Crab Walk<\/p>\nHouse 4 – \u201cLa Casa Drogas de Tana\u201d \n– AMRAP \n– Pickleball volley \n– 2 burpees on every dropped ball<\/p>\nHouse 5 – \u201cEnRon We (Don\u2019t) Trust\u201d \n– AMRAP \n– Thrusters \n– MOT – Bear Crawl or Crab Walk<\/p>\nHouse 6 – \u201cEye Candy Captains, LLC\u201d Safety First, America\u2019s Worst \n– AMRAP \n– The Jurp (by 10\u2019s) – bet you can\u2019t do more than three \n– Speed squats, Merkins, Mtn Climbers, Jump squats, LBCs<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nThang 3: Back to the Goose cave\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n– P2 rides P1, flapjack at halfway point \n– Return to start, P2 rides P1 like a donkey, flapjack at halfway point \n– Sprint to Goose cave (Peltch Treehouse)<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nThang 4: Paxmas came anyway\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n– Narration #3 \n– Sprint back to PAXville and Goose returns PAX gifts<\/p>\nGoose returns presents to the Pax\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n– F3 Thib – 4th Wave (Class of 2023) – Black paint coupons \n– F3 Thib – 3rd Wave – Black and Maroon coupons \n– F3 Thib 2nd Wave – Black, Gold, and\/or Maroon Coupons \nOG\u2019s – Black and White with Gold trim Coupons \nGoose – White, Black and Gold Coupon<\/p>\nCOT and Cardinal prayed us out<\/p>\n——————–<\/p>\nHow The Goose Stole PAXmas<\/p>\nNarration #1 How the Goose Stole Paxmas!<\/p>\nEvery Pax down in Paxville liked PAXmas a lot \nBut the Goose who lived just up the bayou, did not!<\/p>\nThe Goose hated PAXmas! The whole PAXmas season! \nNow, please don’t ask why. Pope\u2019s athletic prowess prolly the reason.<\/p>\nIt could be because Goose hated the cold. \nIt could be because, like his truck, he was too old.<\/p>\nBut I think that the most likely reason of all \nWas that his heart, like Dox\u2019s Mudgear shorts, was three sizes too small.<\/p>\nBut, whatever the reason, his heart or his arthritis , \nHe stood there on PAXmas Eve ISI\u2019ing just to spite us<\/p>\nHe stared down from the Stage with an indignant, head tilting view \nAt the warm lighted windows along Lafourche Bayou<\/p>\nFor he knew every Pax down in Paxville below \nWas busy posting stupid GIF\u2019s and jammin\u2019 to Bieber\u2019s Mistletoe.<\/p>\nHe thought of Paradox and his wife who\u2019s a doctor \nDox claims to be one too which shamefully mocks her. <\/p>\nHe thought of the drugs Montana be slingin\u2019 \nAnd he shuddered at the bad cadence that he always be bringin\u2019<\/p>\nThe Goose remembered the Goats and some random machine \nThat dude showed up for a month, never again to be seen<\/p>\nThen there was Cardinal, whoop sales-man of the cloth \nBut watch him fake burpees, his sins point to sloth \nBut he\u2019s a priest with no equal, becoming a Bishop is next \nBut God help you, oh good Lawd help you if you send a green text.<\/p>\nWet Tap jump squatting with coupons, that\u2019s what real men did \nHe never got the memo – that Jurptober had ended.<\/p>\nHe thought of Lil\u2019 Cuz, bald head shiny like the sea \nThat neck like a tree trunk, like Treebeard with Gris Gris \nA patriot among patriots, you\u2019ll oft hear him decree \n\u201cThis is \u2018Merica, Jack\u2026Yee Yee!\u201d<\/p>\nHe reflected on Superfun(d) and his posts that were laggin\u2019 \nBut Fun(d) redeemed himself fully, naming Jeaux\u2019s Prius the Douche Wagon.<\/p>\nIn a similar way, Fence Post showed up in stints, \nBut without any postin\u2019, we\u2019ll just call him \u2018Fence\u2019<\/p>\nHe hated the youngsters who thought they were wicked SMAAHHT \nBut Shart-\u2019eh got more than he bargained for\u2026 \nthat time he tried to FAAHHT<\/p>\nGoldilox with calves as big as your head \nHe\u2019s a really nice guy \u2014 all the PAX said \nBut when the three bears tried to scare him out of the bed \nLox made a rug out of Papa Bear instead.<\/p>\nThe Goose said good riddance to \u2018Ol Paradiddle; \nHe\u2019s a drummer, remember\u2026F3 was fourth fiddle. \nBut woe to those who judge, you\u2019ll make The Saturdiddle List \nBeware three inch running shorts with a mustache emerging from the mist.<\/p>\nHe tolerated Kilo and his twelve different ve-HICLES \nHe loathed Picadilly\u2019s balls and Tana\u2019s subsequent pickles \nWith falafels in the kitchen and the cross court dinkin\u2019 \nPiccadilly\u2019s doing Pickle Pounders for his bio on LinkedIn<\/p>\nThen there\u2019s Safety Valve and Honeysuckle whose beatdowns we dread \nThey both claim to love you then play Christopher Cross instead. \nWith the nurring, burping, and merking, they leave us for dead \nImagine a Suckle – Valve twofer \u2014 \nhey, that\u2019s what she said.<\/p>\nBut what about Smooth, always working the night shift \nAfter pickle pounders with Kilmer, we thought he might drift \nInstead he\u2019s founding AO\u2019s, he\u2019s def here to stay \nThe tougher the challenge, the more you\u2019ll hear\u2026.OhhhKAYYYY!<\/p>\nGoose considered Popeye, an OG of OG\u2019s \nJuicy like the chicken, played out like Drew Brees \nPost hernia operation, F3\u2019s \u2018Welcome Back Cotter\u2019 \nI\u2019m sure whining about his scar, just like Harry Potter.<\/p>\nEnron, he mused, seemed to always face the worst \nWith his lack of rhythm and tendonitis that he constantly nursed \nBut those are just the reasons, second and first \nFor two SV500\u2019s, he picked Pukee Jeaux – \nhe HAS to be cursed. \nSpeaking of Yankee Jeaux and his phonetics so fine, \nDid you know LILLICK is actually pronounced LIL-ITCH \nThen Ronnie – SCHREIT NEIN!<\/p>\nSTOP\u2014————————————————————————–<\/p>\nNarration #2 Before Lazy Dora in Paxville<\/p>\n“And they’re hanging their stockings,” he snarled with a sneer. \n“Tomorrow is PAXmas! It’s practically here!”<\/p>\nThen he growled, with his Goose fingers nervously drumming, \nAs he sat on the toilet nervously humming \nThen he said, “I must find a way to keep PAXmas from coming!\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cFor, tomorrow, I know that ALL the PAX men \nWill wake bright and early and rush to the Den.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cAnd then the GroupMe posts! Oh, the posts! posts! posts! posts! \nThere’s one thing I hate! It\u2019s all the posts! But That I hate the most.\u201d<\/p>\nIt wasn\u2019t just the abysmal GIF game that rankled his chest \nBut also the old fart snark from America\u2019s Best. \nThis dude rolled up to a PAX of F3 \nWIth Dad jokes, an electric truck and, an alleged hurt knee \nThen he said, \u201cWait, wait there\u2019s more – \nI LOVE an extraneous JurPEE. <\/p>\nNot to be outdone, the reigning king of the \u201cNo Show\u201d \nFrench Horn, apparently hornless, has no horn to blow. \nTrue, his 80\u2019s knowledge is well beyond measure \nHis ability to use \u2018Bruhhhh\u2019 in every sentence? \nWell that\u2019s the real treasure.<\/p>\nSo the Goose sat there honking\u2026<\/p>\n“And they’ll mumble! And mumble! And they’ll chatter! Chatter! Chatter!\u201d<\/p>\nAnd the more the Goose thought of the Pax PAXmas Chatter, \nThe more the Goose thought, \n“Is it me or am I getting fatter?\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cWhy for forty-one years I’ve put up with it now! \nI must stop PAXmas from coming! But how?”<\/p>\nThen he got an idea! An awful idea! \nThe Goose got a wonderful, condescending, self righteous idea!<\/p>\n“I know just what to do!” The Goose laughed with a frown. \n“I’ll destroy all their dreams with a TuesdayTuff beatdown.”<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ll steal F3 PAXmas, there\u2019s no limit to how far I\u2019ll stoop \nI\u2019ll even find a way to kill that stupid [bleep] Whoop.\u201d<\/p>\n“What a great Goosey TRICK!\u201d he mumbled with snarls \nI\u2019ll do a Bleep Test\u2026you know, like a\u2026DICK-ENS – comma – Charles!”<\/p>\nSTOP \u2014—————————————————–<\/p>\nNarration #3 Redemption Arc<\/p>\nIt was quarter of dawn. And the Pax still a-slumber, \nHangovers en route from Enron and Wet Tap\u2019s Jucifer tumbler.<\/p>\nHe took their presents, their headbands, and even their rucksacks, \nHe scoffed at their cadence, lame excuses and fartsacks!<\/p>\nTen thousand feet up – up the side of Mount Tana \nHe ran like an addict on AstraZeneca manna.<\/p>\n“Pooh-pooh to the Pax!” he was goosily humming. \n“They’re finding out now that no PAXmas is coming!\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThey’re just waking up! I know just how it will go. \nShamefully hitting snooze one time, maybe mo\u2019 \nAnd They\u2019ll kick and they\u2019ll yell from ceiling to the flo\u2019 \nThen they\u2019ll see there\u2019s no PAXmas, not even an AO.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThat’s a noise,” grinned the Goose, “that I simply must hear!” \nHe paused, and the Goose put a hand to his ear.<\/p>\nAnd he did hear a sound rising over the swamp. \nIt started out slow, then it started to stomp.<\/p>\nBut this sound was NOT, no it was not getting madder! \nWhy, this sound sounded joyful – it sounded like chatter!<\/p>\nWhat was this incredible sound, sounding deep from the gut, \nWell Lil\u2019 John asked Paradox the same question, \n\u201cTurn down for What?\u201d<\/p>\nEvery Pax down in Paxville, the tall and the small, \nWas posting for a PAXmas beatdown – super tight shorts and all!<\/p>\nHe hadn’t stopped PAXmas from coming! It came! \nAfter having ten kids, it came just the same!<\/p>\nAnd the Goose, with his Goose feet paced to and fro, \nStood puzzling and puzzling. “How could it be so?<\/p>\n\u201cIt came without coupons! It came without rucksacks! \nIt came without backblasts, Kool Jobs, or pinched nutsacks!”<\/p>\nHe honked and honked till his honker was sore. \nThen the Goose thought of something he hadn’t before.<\/p>\nMaybe F3 doesn’t only come from beatdowns – or a backblast word. \nMaybe F3, just perhaps – means humility, servant leadership, striving to live third! <\/p>\nAnd what happened then? Well, in Paxville they say \nThe side vents on Goose\u2019s short shorts grew three sizes that day! <\/p>\nFrom that day forth, Goose built out his legacy; \nTeaching men where they should stand, behind God and their family<\/p>\nThough – from the HEART of the BayoU, he – soon – will – move – on<\/p>\nIn PAXville – the HEART of the Goose Q, we\u2019ll – still – carry – on.<\/p>\nA Very Merry Christmas to Everyone!<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-438449 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='438449' data-nonce='19762336b0' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.f3nola.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/>+4<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-438449 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following the PAXville beatdown this morning, Goose and Popeye were discussing mental toughness.
