FORTeen Years

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 14 Burpees
THE THANG: Mosey to center of WEP

Pax rotated into center based on year of 1st post (ie Class of 2026, 2025, 2024, etc). Varied exercises were performed by all including Burpees, Partner Derkins, Squats, Sumo Squats, SSH, Mtn Climbers, Mahktar N'Dyiae, Flutters, Freddys, Monkey Humpers, etc

Pax sprinted home for the finish.

MARY: She participated during the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Shelters service

COT: Yes, of course, 5th Core Principle

The pax came early and stayed late to celebrate this Community of Brothers we call The Fort. For 14 years, men have posted in the Gloom of WEP and other wonderful sites throughout FM/TC (and in Rock Hill, Clover/LKW and now Chester) to sharpen each other, to hone leadership skills, and to prepare themselves and each other to tackle the ups and downs Life will regularly throw their way.

The number of men who've stood at COT in The Fort over these years exceeds 2,000. And roughly 200 pax keep the flame burning in 2026. Their continued participation is an individual choice, one they can't not keep making because, as they shared, they've found brotherhood, community, belonging and accountability in The Fort.

Who will be standing in COT in 2036 or 2046? Anybody? Nobody? You? Your son or son-in-law or grandson?

As Band Camp shared, we Get To make this choice. Each man stands apart from the general crowd in our culture in making this choice. And yet, each man of The Fort is no better than any other man who lives among us. All men are made of the same fiber in the same image of our Creator. As Dark Helmet said, every man is needed in the leadership mission required to bring to fruition the world our Creator intended. So stay in the game. Find the next man and bring him into the fold. Because 14 years of history only matters if we continue to bring Impact to men and our broader community today, tomorrow, next week and next year. #KeepPosting

We had 6 BC, 3 Runners, I Rucker at Minnow Pond this morning. The rain kept some of the regulars at home. I switched my plans last minute due to the small numbers.

Next stop, town parking lot where we did bearcrawl merkins. Mosey to the post office for the same exercises and added crawlbear CDDs.
Continued run down Williamson and Academy for another round of crawls merkins and CDDs. Two rounds up the hill with squats at the top and hand release merkins at the bottom.
Back up the hill in the opposite direction to the First Baptist parking lot. Relay race with exercises at each corner. 1st round merkins (5,10,15,20 count). 2nd round squats same count, Once the teammate completed the first station, next person started the relay. @U061FJV3GVD pulled a Seinfeld and started running early. Last stop was up to Tom Hall and back to Main Street for a set of V ups. We continued up and down Main Street circling back for the six. Two minute warning gave us time for a sprint up Massey.

If You Can’t Do It, Don’t Q It

Leave a comment

Well, the Site Q (YHC) has been doing a slack job recently and figure out I didn't have a Q for this morning so I decided to take it on. I'm a be believer in "If you can't do it, don't Q it" so given my current set of injuries, we focused on running and abs.

WARMUP: Run around the school and we stopped at the benches by the carpool enterance.
10 Step-ups each leg
10 Merkins in Cadence
Windmills
Head over for our date with Cindy & the Hill
THE THANG: 7's- 1st set was chest press, then run downhill for big boys. Nur back up.
Second set of 7's after completing that was curls and 4-count flutters. We did 2 sets since Marty Byrd thought we would do 11's, and I told him we wouldn't do such a high number at once. I didn't say anything about the total.
By the end, we were at 2.6 miles, and I wanted to get to 3, so we ran around the perimeter of the parking lot before heading to COT.
MARY: LBC's, Box Cutters, Freddys, Heals to Heaven, Flutters.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel serve on 10/1- Get signed up.
Convergence 9/29 at WEP
Trash pickup in Q4
Christmas party will happen sometime in the not-so-distant future.
COT: Round Robin of prayers and praises.
