COT
YHC has spent the past year visiting many of the other AOs in the area. We are blessed to have so many with a short drive and YHC has felt welcomed at all of them. They are filed with great guys who are there not only to workout but to support one another. While continuing to post at ignite on Wednesday mornings, YHC encourages you to explore some of the other nearby AOs on other days of the week – you will not be disappointed by the other guys you meet.

Additionally, the support and willingness to help out a brother seems to be universal at F3, so if you are in need of support or encouragement, DM me or reach out to anyone you feel comfortable talking to. We are here for each other. Aye!

COT: Election season is here. Just remember that on Election Day, half of this country will be upset their candidate of choice didn’t win. This election has gotten very emotional. Try to be the person that keeps the conversation at a 2 and not a 10. If your candidate wins, be a gracious winner and understand that many of your countrymen are scared and upset. And if you lose, and are truly upset — get involved at the local level and make a difference in your community — all politics is local.

COT:
There were some big events this week (death of a relative, a friend’s loss of job, a tough situation with a daughter). When we ask “why” it usually has a negative perception (why did this have to happen). But maybe we can intentionally put a positive feeling around it to help us get through it and see the silver lining.

COUNT: 5

WARMUP: SSH, JEJ, Hillbilly, LBAC, WIlly Mayes Hayes, Michael Phelps, Cherry Pickers, DD WGS

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Old Rag 10/26, Aerie Jeep Pull Parade this weekend, the Grunt 11/9
COT: The W-L community has just had its 2nd loss to a teenage driver / alcohol related fatality in less than 3 years. Early this past Saturday, 1/4 mile south of where we have Coffeeteria on Fridays. In addition to that one, it was only two years ago that Braylon Meade was killed by a teenage drunk driver at the intersection of Williamsburg and Old Dominion in 2022. For Yorktown, there was a significant crash at the end of North Glebe Road early in the Pandemic, So the data points are 2020, 2022, and 2024. YHC has two boy teenage drivers (16/17) and having those guys out there is a constant worry. Worst thimg about being a parent! This is an opportunity for male leadership in my house.
