4 Pax were present in the gloom @ Bedrock for the bootcamp. Chilly Willy has been recovering from the IR and wanted to do a pre-ruck option so he shall receive credit too. He even brought his father-in-law, Jim, who was in town visiting to join us! Here’s what went down:

Recover, Recover
Moleskin:
It’s always great to start the day off right with F3 brothers. Airstream, Hippie, Jersey Boy, and YHC took care of business today. All accepted the Sharknado fate the cards had in store for us. We also got to hold hands while watching the sunrise together (oh, sorry- not really. YHC’s imagination just took over as I was typing the bb).
COT/Namarana/Announcements/Prayer Requests/Coffeteria:
-Pray for Moby Dick’s son, Sims, a who has a brain injury from a boating accident. Had to withdraw from school, can’t drive, and having vision issues. Pray for PT and recovery.
-Grenade is seeking a job in the business intelligence and analytics consulting field. If any Pax has a company that is hiring, please reach out to him.
-Jorel and family with the recent loss of his mother
-Mulligan and family with the recent loss of his father
-Middle East conflict
-Pax who are caregiving for aging parents and health issues among them
-Unspokens in all F3 circles
Announcements:
-Begin thinking about donating to Operation Sweet Tooth’s Christmas present/toy drive when shopping.
-Christmas party on 12/1 at 7:30pm at 760 Craftworks in downtown Huntersville.
-Upcoming elections-Remember Hippie and Gambini who are running for Huntersville Town Commission as our fellow Pax!
-There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.
-Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one step on your own.
Until next time…

(aka Tobra Commander, Tobra Kai, Tobi-Wan, Teletoby, Tobias, Tobadia, “Toe”bee, TobyMac, Tob-lerone, TOB-the-wet-sprocket, etc.)
Holding hands & watching the sunset? Ut oh, that may or may NOT go over so well with those PAX in attendance, but a sentimental statement I am sure is what was meant. We all as F3 brothers do share a lot (more than hard workouts and mumble chatter) during the GLOOM. All for the better!!!

Good work, Men!!
It sounds like we’ll need to name FIL/FNG Jim at his next post. Hmm.
Definitely need to get him back out so he can be named. I’ve got several good naming options
Yes, Jim is a cool dude. He seems to also like his son-in-law too, which is a plus for Chilly Willy.😉
