“If not me, then who…”
Join us to honor 1stLt Travis Manion, 4/28 0515 at Chupacabra. Bring your rucks and sandbags, don’t have one? extra gear is always available.
On April 29, 2007, experienced Iraq war veteran from the 1st Recon Battalion, 1stLt Travis Manion, and his fellow Marines were ambushed while searching a suspected insurgent house in the Al Anbar province of Iraq. As he led the counterattack against the enemy forces, Travis was fatally wounded by an enemy sniper while aiding and drawing fire away from his wounded teammates. His courageous acts allowed every member of his patrol to survive.
For his actions, Travis was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star with Valor. His legacy continues to grow through the work of Travis Manion Foundation, inspiring people to make an impact by serving others.
TMF empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs…ask yourself what makes your heart come alive, because what the world needs is men fully alive”
Why is it that the desires we find deep in our hearts are so far from the lives we find ourselves living? It is this question and the question of the antidote for this lack of whole heartedness that we will be searching for over the 7-week temporary Third F AO “Wild at Heart”.
This is a journey into whole heartedness guided by a video series from Wild at Heat Ministry – see the trailer HERE! Each week we will gather to watch the video (each about 20 min) and have some guided discussion over coffee afterwards. Our hope is this 7-week session will be the beginning of a deeper work to unlock our masculine heart and unleash the impact we are meant to have in the Kingdom.
It’s time to cut through the BS, it’s time to remove the fig leaf, it’s time to stop living from your false self…it’s time to be fully alive! It’s going to be a wild ride…join us!
When: Each Wed from April 19th – May 31st at 0615-0715
Where: Springfield Community Clubhouse – 420 Horton Grove Rd, Fort Mill
Schedule is designed so that you can post at 1st F of choice then head straight to the clubhouse for 3rd F. Coffee/Water will be provided each morning.
History was made today as YHC made his VQ at The Armory. I’m happy that after 9 years someone finally noticed me. All it took was getting up at 3 am to make the drive across the bridge to the “other side” of Fort Mill.
We didn’t do a disclaimer because only professionals showed up.
Warm up was an Indian Run in a slowish pace around the parking lot. Battlebot decided to snake us a bit but we made it back. 5 Windmills and about 10 Polish night clubs.
The Thang
After much discussion on the properness of the name, we did a Jack Web because I said so. Although others were determined it should have been called 11s. Luckily, I didn’t fold under the pressure and called it what I wanted. We started with 1 press and walked across the lot for 10 curls. Now normally you would assume we then did 2 presses and 9 curls…. but somewhere in YHC’s Coors Light daze the numbers didn’t add up. We pretty much did 10 of each exercise on both sides of the parking lot. I wish I could say it was a test to see who was paying attention, but that would just be a lie.
Next, we again debated the name of the exercise group. I said accumulator, some said Dora, others said Misogi….look I don’t care what yall call stuff, just do the exercises. We partnered up with 1 person doing the call out while the other ran across the lot and back. Each time the partner ran they had to add 1 merkin. I think by the end we were around 14-16 merkins each time we ran. Call out was 300 swings, 200 tri extension, and 50 man makers.
Closed with good news about Band Camps youth trip and prayers over the P200 runners
….Hope your happy 3D and thanks for the invite Battle Bot

Variation of the Manion WOD. 7 Rounds, 29 Reps, 400m Ruck or Runs. Exercises included Ruck Squats, Merkins, Irwin’s, Derkins, Ruck Swings/Curls, Leg lifts/Flutters, Sandbag #60 MedBalls-Over the shoulder & Bent over row.
WARMUP: It was cold so the 3 of us needed to get moving ASAP. Moseyed for 5 minutes and wound up in parking lot in front the baseball field. Triangled up and performed the following all in cadence: SSHx20, WMx8, CPx8, Merksx10. We were warm and ready to work.
THE THANG: Different take on Dora that worked out well with 3 and would work with pairs as well. The flow was to run for 5 minutes ( make use of the campus ) and then perform a 1 exercise DORA routine, run for 5 minutes, another 1 exercise DORA routine, etc… We got in 3 DORA routines which were as follows:
DORA#1 – run distance was approx. 25yards out, partners performed 10 alternating lunges together, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held AG until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice.
DORA#2 – run distance was approx. 40yards out, partners performed 10 merkins together, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held Plank until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice. There were multiple merkin variations used.
DORA#3 – run distance was approx. 20yards out, partners performed 10 lower leg lifts, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held 6in until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice.
