Kickstand & Bobsled took off on a ruck. There were also a handful of Smurphers (aka Studs) but Bobsled has dementia and I can’t
remember them all.
0530 Welcome: Bobsled welcomed everyone to the Mission Forge, Monday Funday, and F3 (Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith), recited the Mission
Statement, Credo and 5 Core Principals. There were no FNGs unfortunately. Bobsled reminded everyone to modify as necessary as
he is not a professional. There is a real risk of injury.

COT: (Don’t be so quick to judge)
I decided to run a race for my COT. We all lined in the parking lot and will race to my truck, but first I read some statements aloud.
If the statement applied to you, I asked that you take two steps forward. If not, remain in where you are.
- If your parents were married, you had a two-parent household, or a father figure in your house take two steps forward.
- If you never had to worry about having a house to shelter you, a bed to sleep in, take two steps forward.
- If you never had to worry about having clothes, shoes, coats, hats, gloves take two steps forward.
- If you never had to worry about where your next meal was coming from take two steps forward.
- If you never had to go into your own pockets or piggy bank to help with bills take two steps forward.
- If you never had to worry about transportation to and from where you wanted or needed to be take two steps forward.
We never ran the race. I just wanted PAX, at that point, to look around. To see how they may have started ahead of others. To see
they may have had certain advantages. To understand how life isn’t fair for everybody. It’s not right or wrong, it’s just the way it is.
So, please don’t just a book by it’s cover. You don’t know that person’s journey or story or circumstances. Please don’t look at how
somebody dresses, or how their hair looks, how if they are clean shaven, or how they talk, behave or even what kind of music they
listen to. Everybody has their own story, and every story has a different beginning, middle and end. Let’s be ambassador’s for F3
and in life under all circumstances!
Aye! Bobsled
