Pledge and COT

Devo: “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” – Proverbs 16:9

• This caught my eye right away when thinking about the circumstances surrounding Jerome. We cannot set our own path since the Lord already has it mapped out for us. We can plan for anything and should, but what the Lord wants from us he will get.

Announcements:

• Mud Run 5/19
• Peyton’s Wacky and Wild 3/10
• Palmetto 200 3/23-3/24
• GoRuck HTL 6/1-6/3

Moleskin: YHC felt it was right to honor Jerome Gonzalez, who passed away during the Joe Warner Bragg Heavy on February 17th. He was a Pathfinder member with roster 14-199. Pathfinder had put together a workout to honor him which some F3 brothers in different locations have since completed. YHC made the choice that this workout was badass and he would put it to the test. It most certainty did not disappoint – those AMRAP’s sucked!

Plenty of mumble chatter today, starting off with Greenbags accusing Tinker of slipping the 30# into the ruck. Then the threat made from Stalker to YHC if we were to bear crawl again!

Gentlemen – this seems to be a part of the year where we start to lose focus and get into a funk. Help a brother get out of that funk and back into his routine. Reach out to a PAX that you haven’t heard from or seen recently and check in on them – thanks for this reminder Stalker!

T-Claps

Tinker for loaning out his two rucks for a nominal fee or a righteous beatdown. Greenbags for completing his first ruck BC. Gruber for not merloting in front of us all. All other PAX for kicking ass today and honoring Jerome the right way!
