   Workout: Mirror Mirror at The Armory

   No FNG’s so right into F3 Mission and Core Principles:
   F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
   Mission –Plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
   The core principles of F3 are that it must:
   Be free of charge
   Be open to all men
   Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
   Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
   End with a Circle of Trust
   Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him.

   Called Viper at 6:05 and the PAX at The Armory and The Wall did a two-minute (120 count) plank hold together.

   Ended with:
   Count-O-Rama
   Name-O-Rama
   The “Six”: Footloose. EH’d by Mercy. Named because he has the privilege of being a pastor’s son. Keeps showing up because he knows Rudy will be there. 😉

   Announcements – Toledo/BS CSAUP on Feb 28th. Battlefield closed. Fortress open.

   Ball of Man – Prayers for Charlotte, Jan, Wario, Gulliver, Bourbon, and Snowbird. God help us to be mirror images of your Son. Amen.

   Spreadsheets from the Gloom: Viper and I decided on this idea based on some of the friendly Mumblechatter in January about which Thursday AO is “the best”. Thank you Viper for quasi Co-Q’ing with me. Thank you Vespa and Longhorn for leading such great AO’s at The Armory and The Wall respectively.
