ANNOUNCEMENTS: convergence early June. Stay tuned to Slack for details. New AO hamilton on Mondays. Check it out. The Murph and Murph prep at GMU. Boneathon coming up – get ready.

COT: YHC injured his elbow training for a heavy ruck challenge. It’s been a month since YHC picked up a weight, coupon, etc. and has been finding coupon-free beatdowns until he can recover. Thankfully, F3 The Capital has multiple offerings so this has not been a problem. But, a nagging injury and an upcoming birthday have YHC feeling old. It’s been a struggle to post knowing that modification is necessary. That mindset is the Jester trying to keep YHC from accelerating. YHC is reminded of the daily discipline needed to overcome the Jester. YHC also recognized and thanked the HIMs of F3 for making him a better man by delivering the beatdowns that make him want to throw up (this is a compliment!). Bottom line: showing up in the gloom can be hard, especially when recovering from injury. But showing up is what HIMs do. Thank you for showing up, men. SYITG!

COT: Introduced the PAX to the story of Col. Dale Dorman 2x purple heart recipient (Beirut & Vietnam) who referred to himself as a “Christian, husband, minister, and marine.” Dale put me in my place once when i insisted he didn’t need to stand to greet me (you may not but I need to, this is how I was raised). He was a man of integrity, strength, and love. Meditated on the verse:
2 Timothy 1:7 “for God does not give us a spirit of fear or timidity but of power, love, and self-control.” Ended in prayer.
