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

Post BRR good ideas

Leave a comment

(Courtesy of DH, thanks buddy!!)

10 came to Sweep the Leg to celebrate the one day of the year that I get to run near the front of the pack… the Monday after BRR. It was a veritable party…

Q: @UGRNYPPUM

Pax: @UGRNYPPUM @UMB4FRCMA @U08GGTLHL @U5Y5JA02G @U5DLC6D7X @UGU3XR5RP @U5CF2DMKK @U5DKASDQU @U5CVD8D7V @U01NGHPR2HW (and Olaf's nutsniffer)

Heartbreakers: None

The Thang: Warm-o-Rama, run to the bank for 20 merkins/20 flutters (2-count), then run down Dave Gibson to the parking lot at the end of the schools and another 20/20. Mosey to the Colosseum flag lot repeat 20/20. Run the middle school car rider loop then 20/20, but I think it was here we switched to CDDs and American Hammers. Back to the lot at the bottom of the hill repeat the 20/20. Back up to the bank and 20/20. Head to the flag and, yes you guessed, 20/20. Small loop around the lot then 20/20, then a big loop around Earth Fare and out to 160 and back for a 20/20. At that point, we were released on our own recognizance to either cross the 3-mile threshold or to sit and stretch the last 5 minutes.

Moleskine: Despite running the most miles on his team over the weekend, @U5DLC6D7X still managed to push the pace. And @UGU3XR5RP wasn't far behind…
During one set of merkins or other, Olaf's dog came for a snuggle and I was sure it was Band Camp, so you can imagine how awkward it was when I went in for a kiss…
Some good BRR war stories were told and some woes about it not being Fall yet were expressed.
Gekko committed to running the Scream under the tenuous premise that it involves some sort of Band Camp dunk tank at the end. There's no way to really know.

COT: Prayers to remain present in every moment, health concerns, and ability to have wisdom with our kids and others.
Shady could use help moving in his in-laws on Oct 3 after WEP. They're moving into Lancaster area. Pronounced Lancaster. Not Lancaster. Don't forget. It's Lancaster.

Most of this happened. Sort of. Subject to verification by @UGYTLSLB0.
