Mosey back to the shovel flag for some glamour shots (see above) and Liutenant Dan’s; because, why not?!!
** At this point, the mumblechatter hit a fever pitch about Lt. Dan and his legs (or lackthereof!) **
Completed Lt. Dan’s – 1:4 ratio (Squats:Lunges) x 8 — basically until we couldn’t feel our legs, in true Lt. Dan homage.

COT
I cannot express the energy and excitement at this morning’s launch and the upcoming Wednesday launch in Hixson (at “The Griff”) for the two new AO’s. It’s certainly long overdue but with some of the challenges we’ve faced in Chattanooga being overcome, it makes the week even more meaningful.
As a final note – YHC offered appreciation and especially commended the group this morning given the conditions, particularly Banjo, who fought through adversity (his car wouldn’t start, the rainy weather & the gloom, and the race against time) and he made it! It would have been so easy to just pack it in, and head back inside, but he didn’t. He intentionally committed last night, and with that intention he followed-through. All to support his brothers and this mission. I found this to be the perfect illustration of the accountability and determination that F3 instills. Not just that, but an awesome example to follow if you are trying to be better in every aspect. If you need true inspiration, look no further than those by your side.
All that said, keep living 1% better, each day, every day. 1 percent better each day starts with a simple step, the first step.
See you in the gloom!
