It’s a beautiful morning in Raleigh. And five souls decide Chong Li’s “House of Pain” (True Grit) is just a bit to gritty for the day, so they find themselves gathering at The Forge. Conversation is easy and the bonds of friendship are strong. At the appointed hour the men begin the fun.

NAKED MOLESKIN
The PAX were all veteran F3 members so it seemed a comfortable workout. Focusing on form rather than speed helped make the workout a little more challenging since the Forge has low rep counts. We had the park almost to our selves this morning (much to the dismay of some members of the PAX). During the COT we realized White Shoe was our war baby. This was compared to a 19 year old FNG at North Hills the day before. Surprisingly, the youngster of such a tender age escaped being named Gerber, or Pampers. We’re glad to have him aboard,
Announcements:
Caddy is looking to borrow a couple F3 shirts for the Komen Run on Saturday.
White Shoe is looking to get his hands on missing Rucks and Shirts used during the GoRuck, so he can return them to their rightful owners.
Verse of the Day:
From James 2: 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
