It was a chilly, wet morning.  YHC wanted to make sure that everyone stayed relatively warm, but also that they flexed both their mental and physical muscles.

Mosey 1/2 lap and get into plank position.

“What is the mission of F3?”  We remained in plank position until we got it right.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.

Mosey to the carpool hill.  Partner up for some DORA work!

Count-O-Rama – 7 PAX in attendance.

Welcome FNG Ben Bright.  His M works with Road Block’s M.  He is a high school science teacher.  They just moved to the Tri-Cities, and he is looking for a teaching job.  YHC told him to talk to Kardashian or Shepherd.

Ben told 2 funny stories, one of which I believe he didn’t want to tell, but we were all DYING to hear.

The first funny story yielded his namesake of “Hot Pants”.  The second dealt with the circumstances of his arrest while in South Korea.  Both were very entertaining, and we appreciate him sharing with us!

Strong work by each of the men this morning.  YHC was worried that he was going to have to post alone, but was saved by 6 brothers at 7:15 AM sharp!  Some rather stimulating conversations continued as 4 PAX got to enjoy Coffeteria at Blue Gill’s Cafe.
