COT: (Circle of Trust)

Spent some time reflecting on what the flag means and how blessed we are to live in a free country.  Also, thankful for the members of the Anson PAX who served this great country.  Spoke about what F3 means and what we as men can do for each other to create accountability.  Thanks to Viper for taking us all out in prayer.

Moleskin:

Just can’t get over the outpouring of men that took time out of their Saturday morning to join F3Anson to say “No” to laziness, “No” to complacency, “No” to the status quo.  Men showed up who deep down want to get better, not only physically, but in each area of their lives.  Great job guys!

Time for Name-o-rama!  Hey with 5 FNG’s, this should be good, right?  Named “Coach” due to his passion for coaching our county youth in the game of baseball and his passion for teaching Sunday school…showed up to his first F3 workout sporting ole Carolina blue!?…strong FNG who made a statement.  Named “Radio” for his past call serving in the USMC…still a tough soldier, strong out of the gate in all of the workouts and fast…good to have you Radio!  Named “Lollipop” (Respect) due to his grandkiddos calling him ‘pop’…had to add the ‘lolli’ cause ‘pop’ just didn’t cut it….Lollipop kept in there with all of us…a definite inspiration to the younger PAX.  Named “Slab” (Respect) for a killer job in a past life, laying concrete…through all things, Slab did not quit!  He kept running, kept pressing on toward that finish line…proud of him!  And last but not least, named “Wiener” from the old college days…it was just too good to pass up!  Wiener also excelled in the workout…fast and came ready to work!

Hoping all first timers will post regularly to F3Anson.  We get better…together!
