CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There has been a lot of talk within our PAX recently of leadership. It has brought me back to when I first took a leadership role within my organization at work. A mentor of mine quote John C Maxwell to me “Leadership is influence. Nothing more. Nothing less”

We can all be leaders within our lives and communities. The entirety of F3 has been leaders to me, causing me to be a better version of myself, better man and father. Let’s all go forward in our lives, looking to lead and influence those around us

8 came out to get better
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I wanted to use this day to continue to talk about fitness. The first F of F3 is fitness, and that’s what we do for 45 minutes each morning. Use that time to make yourself better. Short cutting exercises to stay out of the back or to try to race someone is only cheating yourself. If you take shortcuts out here, where else are you short cutting your life?

Work on your form, get yourself better. Are you setting a good example? If an FNG comes out and watches you to see how to do these exercises, would you be proud that he copies how you do it?

Merge Groups and mosey to Shovel Flag and present the flag

The shovel flag is one of the classic symbols of F3. No matter where you are within F3 Nation, the Shovel Flag is the one true physical link that connects us all. Just like we leave no man where we find them, the Shovel Flag is portable so that it can be carried forward and shared with others.

This shovel flag represents Respect: respect for country, respect for those who hae served and currently serve to protect our freedoms, and respect for the other AO’s across F3 Nation where similar flags are planted ever week

It represents Hard Work: it bears witness to the blood, sweat, and tears of the men of F3 who gather together at some obscene early hour to get better physically while finding new mental limits. Men getting stronger, fit, and conditioned to handle life’s challenges – most of which are not physical at all – Hard Work

This flag also represents the lives of men being changed. Men are moving from being passive participants in life, to being present. Present in our families, present in our places of work and worship, and present in our communities.

Mosey to SP (Smuggler leading the way carrying the flag)

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
48 Pax! Included (2) 2.0s and (1) FNG – Welcome ‘That Guy’
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

F3 has always been and will always be more than a workout.  We definitely want to push ourselves and each other physically, but we also want to grow relationally and spiritually.  The PAX is unique in many ways, But the one that is most important to remember is that we are not out here to compete against each other, but collaborate together to grow as husbands, fathers, sons, employees, employers, friends, and neighbors.  We are bound together under a high power for a greater purpose. And I pray that this group of men will continue to lead they way in setting the example for others.
