All Pax run to first station together and leave a Pax from each group to start on those reps. Three remaining run to second station, leaving a Pax to start those. Two remaining go to third station. One starts exercises. Last Pax runs to first station and takes over reps from first Pax, who runs to second station to relieve second Pax and so on until all reps are complete.

COT

In 1995, Yellowstone National Park was facing ecological disaster. An overabundance of elk was changing the environment in ways even the rangers and ecologists didn’t understand. To resolve this, they released a pack of 8 wolves in the park. They didn’t hem them in to a specific fenced area of the park, they released them to just be wolves and do what wolves do. The wolves hunted the elk and then the unexpected started happening. Not only did the elk herds thin, they changed their behavior. As a result, some of the trees and other flora began to grow abundantly. In doing so, the beaver population started to recover. The beavers built dams. those dams created freshwater pools that aided in reinvigorating the fish in the area. It also restored water to the water table and aquifers under the park. That improved irrigation in other areas and helped the plantlife recover there, which attracted other wildlife that had been sparse recently to return to the park.

In 2016, F3 released a pack of wolves into Chattanooga. Those wolves did wolf things, and as a result, four years later, the city has 16 AOs — about to open another — and has attracted a community of men and developed those men into leaders.

YHC would like to express regret in choosing dive bombers. My sincerest apologies to all who did Iron Pax the following day.
