COT:

This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

James 1:19-21

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!
