COT: YHC shared story of first HIM he EH’d at the Frontier in Jersey. The Recorder is an adaptive athlete and YHC initially wondered how modifications might work. YHC learned quickly that Recorder has heart of a lion and was willing to try it all.

Elements of this morning’s beatdown represented Recorder’s strengths…army crawls, overhead claps, bear crawls and especially Ricky Bobby where he would take off on his bike and leave the last guy having to go all out to catch him.

More importantly…Recorder led from the front with 2nd and 3rd F stuff…being there for guys going through tough times including YHC who is grateful for the support during a particularly dark time.

We all have our scars…some visible and some invisible. Let’s lead from the front and lean on each other cause’ at F3 we aim to “leave no man behind, but leave no man where we find him.”

Pic is from convergence that YHC mentioned in COT. Recorder made it through the obstacle with over 60 men rallying with him.

COT
Part of the process of maturing is learning to give people things that we don’t necessarily owe them. Whether it’s extending grace where there’s an offense or bearing burdens that aren’t yours by rights, we make ourselves better husbands, fathers, and men by taking responsibility for the actions of others and using that as an opportunity to lift them up.
