During CTF 2018 I noticed at several occasions multiple teams would be looking for the same flag at the same time.  They’d team up or give assistance to the other team.  While I’m all for team work and lending a helping hand, I’m about CTF being pure competition.  So this year YHC is introducing the MerkinContinueContinue reading “Capture the flag New twist #2 #MerkinChallenge”

YHC had an itch to Q and PED provided a scratch.  I don’t know who post inside 264 on a Monday but they better all be ready for a good ole fashion O beat em down. Neon = EC   SYITG Kilo

When Nino mentioned that the bridge needed a fill in Q, YHC remembered he was no longer site Q at TheTank and snatched up TheBridge opening faster than a pope burpee.  Always great to lead a workout at the AO where YHC made his first post.  That bridge has produced Beatdowns a plenty in theContinueContinue reading “4/24 Backblast #TheBridge KiloQ”

Friday at the Chopper not only did Nino injure spygate, he injured Me.  With his insane runs up a wet muddy 90* hill in the dark.  Great idea Nino!!  Kidding kidding.  But no really I tweeked my knee Reid Travis style.  Just a little sprain, it’s tight and a bit swollen.  Being less than aContinueContinue reading “4/6 Backblast from the MashUp HurtRuiner #KiloQ”

ive used several different tactics to try to bribe pax to post for a Q.  Food, booze, neon, Cupid costume, costume contest, neon again.  But never have I ever intentionally mashed up 2 AOs into one.  This is a new tactic.  So maybe it should be twice as hard.  Maybe twice as fun.  Maybe twiceContinueContinue reading “4/6 preblast Mashup at the mutt #KiloQ”

At Vets we’ve been through a few changes in the first year of existence.  We started at the bottom parking lot across from the softball field, it was a nice lot but dark and quite unwelcoming.  We eventually moved up to the Jeffersonian parking lot as starting point while the main park was still beingContinueContinue reading “4/3 BackBlast The Tank #TheTorchIsPassed”

Many will be quick to point out that the fartsack has gotten the best of YHC during spring break.  I’m here to tell you that I hope it doesn’t happen again tomorrow.  Because if it does, the new site Q for the tank will have to step in and pick up the Q.  Stay tunedContinueContinue reading “4/3 PB the Tank #NewSiteQ?”

  By Alexa Our team had been in communication for a week or so prior to Mock.
