COT: Chad Wilkinson honorably served our country as a SEAL for over 2 decades. Sadly, he lost his battle with mental illness by taking his life at the age of 43, which is about this same age of many of the PAX. We will honor his life on November 20 by doing the Chad1000X at Olympus – 1000 step-ups, alone or with a group, with or without a ruck. However, we need to also remember his lesson: You are not in this alone. You are not expected to go through this alone. Look to the left and the right of you. Just as iron sharpens iron in The Gloom, we support each other. Out.

COT: Three months ago, YHC didn’t believe that something like F3 could exist (free? all volunteer???) and certainly didn’t think he would be out here in the gloom running up and down stairs at 6am. Now, I can’t imagine life without it. I’m grateful for the impact it has had and I look forward to SYITG.

COT: I’d been feeling a bit down last weekend but coming to F3 three days this week for the first time in a while has lifted my spirits. I am greatly appreciative of the effort everybody gives to get out there and get after it so early, the creativity the Qs put into constructing the beatdowns, and the time everyone, and particularly the F3 leaders (from Nantan to Site Qs), puts into making F3 so special. Thanks to all for helping me get the Led out this Friday.
