Three pillars of F3
- Workouts are held outside (rain or shine)
- Workouts are peer-led
- Leave no man behind, leave on man unchanged
Shovel flag symbolism
YHC had the opportunity to talk with long-time and fellow F3 Chattanooga pax at Early Bird’s wedding last weekend. Since he and his family have moved out of town a year or so ago, he has assumed responsibility at his new church leading a men’s ministry. He has successfully launched F3-esque workouts for these men without actually tapping into F3 Atlanta. He shared his thoughts on the shovel and what it means and how he’s used it as a discussion point for other men to understand their role as men and in the community – we discussed the deep symbolic nature of the shovel. From this conversation, I drew inspiration.
Simply put, a shovel is just an object, but with it there are so many inherent uses. In order for the shovel to be of any use, someone has to implement it. YHC shared a time when he wished he could just tell the shovel to dig a french drain for him and sit back and watch. Obviously cannot happen, as it is an inanimate object that requires an applied force. I likened the shovel to the relationship a man has with another man and the opportunity we have to help inanimate men (Sad Clowns) to become useful tools in our community through F3. In order for a man (a shovel) to be successful, he needs the help of another man (a force) to implement him in the community, to show him how he can be useful. YHC challenged the group to be that force, to guide other useful shovels in the community
Moleskin
- Rhythm brought one of his 6 (?) kids in his brood and a friend of his; they were late. So, naturally, YHC asked the then-FNG (later, “Short Stop”) if they have a clock at home and if they knew how to read it; Confirmed.
- As we were performing partner planks, YHC hears a siren alarm going off. Sounds like a ringtone. Look over and there’s Rhythm talking to Emergency Dispatch. Apparently he accidentally hit the emergency call button — out of breath, he explained there was no emergency (only that he was getting smoked at a workout). Aye!
- Had a Wayne’s world moment as traffic seemingly was coming through. “GAME OFF!”…. “GAME ON!”
