11s for 11 Years of The Fort
This was not a typical 11s workout, more like a mini board of pain. 11 rounds of 11 reps of 11 exercises. Do all 11 reps of each of the 11 exercises in a row, then run a lap, then repeat. After all 11 rounds are done, then finish it up with a crowd favorite.
Exercises were:
1. SSH 2 ct
2. Merkins
3. Mountain Climbers 2 ct
4. LSS
5. Imperial Walker 2 ct
6. CDD
7. Plank Jack
8. American Hammer 2 ct
9. Flying Squirrel
10. Ski Abs 2 ct
11. Lunge 2 ct
>> Run a lap (about 250m)
>> Repeat
>> When all 11 rounds are done, celebrate with 11 burpees!!
We got in 10 rounds plus the 11 burpees!! Great job PAX!!
While we were working out, when we could talk, we had some great discussions about
* Our needs or our why that motivated us to come out to our first F3 workout.
* Who EHd us, when, where
* What are we getting out of F3? How has it improved our lives in all three Fs. Short answer is alot and in many ways.
* All the impact F3 has outside of ourselves. A LOT!
* The importance of finding someone you can call a shield lock, whether within F3 or not.
* Who has inspired you? The importance of leading by example. Many reasons but also people see what you have going, how you are living/leading/leaving right and they may be inspired by you to attain that too.
* Who do we see in our everyday lives that could have a need or want that F3 could help with. Those are prime EH opportunities right there, Give it away!!
The stories share/heard today were nothing short of inspirational and reinvigorating.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* 11th anniversary of The Fort just passed. More celebrations are coming.
* Alot going on. Read your newsletter and get involved.
* D2D charity fundraising events for F3 The Fort scholarships and Bethel Mens Shelter will be coming soon!
COT:
* We each offered a prayer and a praise and laid them down at His feet for guidance, solace, peace, healing, strength.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead. SYITG and Blessings.

Prayers and Praises
@Cohiba ran on Puerto Rican time today at #ao-varsity. This also explains why @Bobber chronically pushes past 0515 arrivals. There were a lot of words; many of us understood very few. Let’s not allow cultural differences to impede F3 being OPEN to ALL men.
@Cohiba likes Big Boys
@Bobber understands more than he says, but when he’s in cadence it’s sweetly melodic
@Jazz Hands has invisible Big Boys
@Bitcoin counts well in many languages, and also likes Big Boys
@Boogie Down didn’t translate much for us, but could have
@Saw Dust apparently went of some kind of rant in name-o-rama
@Cousin Eddie spent the entire time confused (as did YHC)
@Mark Twain said something like: “Me da cólera” about the DORA. I just hope it doesn’t turn into dysentery
@Retiree wondered what he’d stumbled upon, but his buddy @chickenhawk was there to guide the way
@SouptoNuts put his Criminal Justice degree to work. Just like he does every other day, by being a more educated human
@HarryCarry was there early for “Ironing Pants,” but I might have misheard that. @CakeBoss and @Shield were helping. When you have to carry something that harry (hairy?), I suppose you need help ironing your pants? :man-shrugging:
You could spend the whole day wondering if you’ll fit within a new environment, read up on the lexicon, ask guys about procedure, examine backblasts, and consider where your priorities really are. But if you don’t set that alarm and get out of the fart sack…well: “too mah-leh-teen!”
This report is subject to verificación by @Punch List….if he ever opens slack again to check all these notifications
The names should be above
