COT: Started with a reminder that F3 is about bettering the men that choose to appear in the gloom.
Rather than ask for standard prayer requests, YHC asked the group to list something positive that we could think about throughout the day. This turned quickly into a list of prayer requests…
F3 isn’t about any particular faith or viewpoint, we are here to become better partners, fathers, friends, and citizens of the world. We’re learning to live 3rd.
The Circle of Trust doesn’t have any prescribed formula, and our region tends to use it as a prayer chain. I feel being locked into this methodology is a bit of a disservice to ourselves and our time in the CoT. I say this in the least self-serving way possible.
This is our time to work on OURSELVES.
The CoT is a place where PAX have an opportunity to say what’s on their hearts. We could talk about personal pain and difficulty, and celebrate the victories we have against daily obstacles.
More often than not we hear about a friend or relative going through a tough time. I’m glad people are concerned, I really am, but what I would rather hear is how that affects you, and how that is going to change you. What action will you take? Send a gift card to your friend whose wife is going through some shit. Watch your neighbor’s kids so they have time to go to a job interview. Help change a set of brake pads. When you get home and the M hasn’t cleaned up after her Ramen mess for the 4th day in a row just smile, take a breath, and appreciate your M.
This morning as my CoT turned itself back into the prayer meeting I decided to read between the lines. I heard some PAX say some things that were the usual fare. What I heard was that we have a lot of men in the Fort dealing with anxiety over things they cannot control, things that don’t affect their daily lives.
So when I got it back, I simply asked that we think about what our brothers had to say and find a way to make the lives of those around us a bit better. Let’s live 3rd in a way that enriches and does not tear anything down.

Show To Know.
We had 21 at for some off campus work.
We moseyed over to Baxter this morning for a little Mary.
Partner 1: 150 Merkins. 200 Hello Weezys, 250 Squats.
Partner 2: Run the stares gauntlet on Main Street.
We formed two lines for an Indian run back to COT for Mary, announcements l, and prayers/praises.
The report is as follows:
– was introduced to a mudslide this morning. It brought back memories of the bars at Auburn. Go War Eagles!
– and are going to go home and watch the movie airplane to prepare for ’s summer job.
– There was an sighting this morning and he was feeling chesty as he kept requesting merkins. He is going to host 10 nine year olds today for his son’s birthday party. We are expecting a steel cage match.
– was present and smelling like a million bucks.
– was introduced to The Milker this morning. We scared off some of the customers in the Starbucks parking lot.
– needs to increase the weight on his vest as he crushed the Indian run.
– is going to bath in Bengay as he knees were saying no mas.
– ’s eye tattooth is looking manly.
– needs to stop at Harris Teeter to pick up flowers as he is celebrating 21 years of wedding bliss.
– was having flashbacks of The Bronx seeing all of the trees cut down on 160.
– is ready for mainstream media with his Ron Burgundy breakdown of Slow Burn.
– and did a divide and conquer approach to the squats. It’s Science?
– is 78 going on 28. He crushed it out there.
– When isn’t dabbling in the markets he is dabbling in pain.
– Get on you Q list, he ready!
– was looking for a 60
– Mole ruck, but settled for a bootcamp.
