Angus, Fissure, and YHC have had several discussion regarding the 3rd F of F3.  Anyone that takes the time to read this and participated in a few beatdowns with me knows that I hold my Faith EXTREMELY important.  My Faith teaches me that it revolves around love and love calls for relationship building and genuine connections with others.  I will always take every opportunity to proudly let people know my Faith is in Jesus Christ, my hope is that ALL will find their way to him, and as HE loved me I strive to love others the same.  Therefore, I/WE cannot, again cannot, force Faith upon anyone!! Let others see your Faith through your actions; because, they have to connect with you before they can connect with things outside of yourself.
Please as you finish this week out, no matter where you place your faith, work to build positive relationships with others.  Because GENTLEMEN, THAT IS HOW YOU SPREAD YOUR IDEALS AND MORALS TO OTHERS.  It is honor to share the Gloom with you all

Moleskin

Today’s moleskin took its own little turn as we welcomed an FNG. I outlined the importance of this thing we call the COT, and the importance of our willingness to open up to each other to truly form a lifelong bond. I gave examples of some of the many things I’ve heard when brothers have opened up. I ended with the challenge that our FNG return to get his name at an established AO and learn more about the camaraderie that happens here.

Today is April 10th, 2018.  This not a significant date in and of itself; however, it is the day after April 9th, 2018.  April 9th is extremely significant to me as this my mother’s birthday.  Yes, we take time each year to celebrate our mothers, but lets be honest, they deserve to be celebrated more often than that. A little over a week after celebrating the Death and Resurrection and reflecting upon the strong women during Jesus’ journey, I realize the importance of the mothers in our lives.  All of us have a mother and many of us are married to a mother.  My challenge is to celebrate them, thank them, and find some way to show them how much you care; because, frankly, how many times did they care and show they cared about us when we probably didn’t really deserve it.

I got to The Huey early this morning with excitement for an FNG, because, let’s be honest, naming three FNGs in one week is really stinkin cool! I took an easy 2 mile warm-up run and anxiously awaited the arrival of the latest FNG…
Well, along with the landing of The Huey, a Snipe also came in for a landing for a pleasant surprise for me.  He truly pulled through, as our FNG failed to show this morning.

BOMBS
I had forgotten about the BOMBS routine in the Exicon and thanks to Ohms beatdown yesterday, I was inspired to include it this morning.  During the description, mumblechatter ensued about the “love of running” and possible Splashing of Merlot.
Breakers – 100
Overhead Press – 100
Merkins – 150
Bent Over Rows – 100
HUEYS
While doing BOMBS, I realized I needed to call an audible as I had not done anything to honor The Huey.  So, we did HUEYS.  Similar to BOMBS, well it is BOMBS, with different letters.  You guys know, “same thing, just different”.
Headbusters (Inspired from Tuesday’s Huey activities) – 50 Each Arm
Under the Tree Dips – 150
EL B Cs – 100 (4 COUNT)
Yeti Raises – 50
Shrugs – 50

This morning I decided to study my Bible before my workout (I was just led to do that, so thanks mainly be to Fissure for that), and just decided to open it and see where it landed….Psalm 24 it was.  These verses spoke to God’s Glory and ruling over the Earth truly moved me.  I then sought the Gospel of Luke for the death and Resurrection.  What a friend we have in Jesus and how amazing it is to be saved.  
I was called to this faith that I call Christianity and with that faith I must strive to Love all equally as Christ did.  This goes for any and all men who decide to come to F3…no matter where you rest your beliefs, I will still do everything I can to support you in the gloom and in your personal life; because that is my mission as a Christian and as a man of F3!! 
If you are reading this and are not a Christian, then please do not shy away from F3.  Yes, I will share my faith as much as I can, but that DOES NOT mean I will shun you for yours.  I love you as the brother that you are.

YHC was disappointed to miss his Rucking Brother Fissure’s VQ, but we both understand the value in the growth of F3.  With his blessing, YHC Qed at the Huey knowing one HC was already in the bag (that is a 100% improvement from last week!!!!!).  A vehicle arrived in the Gloom at about the same time as YHC and delivered a pleasant surprise with a THIRD PAX!! AYE!! 
ROTORtation 
Pax 1 ran to the Veteran’s Memorial/Honor Placard and completed 5 Incline Merkins while Pax 2 did clean and presses. Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until the Q called “ROTATE!”
Pax 1 ran to the Veteran’s Memorial/Honor Placard and completed 10 step-ups while Pax 2 did Shoulder Presses. Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until the Q called “ROTATE!”
Pax 1 ran to the Veteran’s Memorial/Honor Placard and completed 15 Squats while Pax 2 did curls. Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until the Q called “ROTATE!”
Pax 1 ran to the Veteran’s Memorial/Honor Placard and completed 20 Merkins while Pax 2 did Bent Over Rows. Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until the Q called “ROTATE!”
A 10 Count was Needed at this point.  Talks of Splashing Merlot were in midst…
Modified Dora
 Ran to “Veteran’s Memorial Park” Sign
Completed: 50 Merkins, 75 (4 count) LBCs, and 100 Tri-Cep Extensions

It was was EXTREMELY difficult to miss a fellow brother’s VQ this morning, especially one that I have grown to love and respect significantly, but The Huey was humming with an HC and a surprise arrival from an additional PAX.  So….
(Insert the Splashing of Merlot activities for the day)
The lesson and challenge is this… Don’t leave a man standing by himself under a lamp post.  If we say there is a location that is available to post, then a Q will be there ready to put you through a Beatdown in the Gloom.  The challenge as F3 men: Don’t leave others standing by themselves under a lamp post when they need you the most.  Whether its building trails for a pre-school or leading Cub Scouts, always be that guy that is there for other people.  Show love, compassion, and empathy any and every chance you get.

YHC is attempting to provide an opportunity for our Soddy Daisy consortium of brothers to have a more convenient location to post in The Gloom.  The hope, as stated in Field of Dreams, “if you build it they will come” or, more appropriately, “if you post they will come”.  Ironically, YHC and fellow F3 brother Prosciutto discussed a mirrored beatdown with ALARMs and YHC almost slept through his alarm. However, should a Pax arrive with no Q, we would surely fail at our future AO.
YHC once again brought the rotors for coupons today as The Huey fails to provide an ample supply of DeWayne’s (rocks).

Moleskin

YHC had a moleskin planned to inspire this new AO and talk about growth within F3 Chatt along with the importance of commitment.  Well, the Lord had other plans as YHC solo posted this morning, so here is to hoping the committed Pax read this moleskin.
In a conversation with Angus, the idea of better marketing for F3 Chatt was discussed.  YHC stated this to simply create a talking point about the length time in which “the word” of gloomy beatdowns made it to YHC.  However, it was perceived as something slightly different, enter the inspiration for today’s moleskin provided by Angus.
“This thing doesn’t really need marketing as much as it needs people caring enough to keep people accountable.  That means a whole lot more than call outs in GroupMe.” AYE!!! (Thanks Angus)
This “thing”, this CSAUP “thing” that we call F3 is much more than a logo, much more than burpees, much more than mumblechatter, much more than ruckership. It’s a family hike with your F3 brother, it’s a random lunch ruck, it’s a Sunday afternoon pick-up b-ball game, or it’s a phone call to check-in. ITS A STINKIN’ BROTHERHOOD forged through adverse conditions.
YHC spoke with CSPAN yesterday and learned a lot.  The conversation led to learning that we hold a bond with this “thing”. You guessed it, we both fight through the gloom (adverse consitions), together in spirit.  CSPAN is a man that served his country proudly, much like our OG F3 Chatt brother Gus, yet he talked to me like we were equals.  He talked to me like a friend.  He talked to me because he believes in accountability that comes in all the hearts resting behind that simple 3.5 inch logo that is F3!
God Bless All of you men who believe in accountability and brotherhood! AYE!!
