10 PAX present for first Q for Claven. YHC spoke with him earlier in the week and he had already been scoping out the kingdom of Excalibur strategizing his Q. YHC dropped the gauntlet the night before to bring at least 1 FNG and Shark Bait answered the challenge bringing a buddy into the gloom. So with a solid game plan in place and a full disclaimer, we circled up for a Claven led attack on the gloom!

MOLESKIN:
Claven shared he’d been wanting to Q for awhile now. T-claps for stepping up and stepping out Q’ing at a young AO needing Q’s. You picked a good group of PAX to lead today brother, thank you again for leading us well today, great first Q! Excited to see the growth and new AO’s for North/East Wake county. We all know men who need their iron sharpened; physically, spiritually and mentally. So send those sadclowns out here our way… Excalibur, Agoge and The Farm are ready. AYE gentlemen!
