Chatter on the The Thicket slack channel was strong yesterday in anticipation of launching the new Friday AO in Briar Chapel. With the location already determined earlier in the week, the name for the site would be the topic hotly debated with Deliverance and The Wall grabbing the most attention. Also for some reason the movie The Naked Gun would be discussed. Regardless of the topics, the real issue at hand is a new AO to be launched and a new frontier to look forward to. 10 men and 1 FNG were waiting in the parking lot eager to start a new chapter in the F3 Churham universe. Soft launch is underway, let”s get to work.
The following is a true story…

YHC has heard the ground swell for more bear crawling on grass and less pavement so in an attempt to satisfy the masses we moved to the grassy knoll just off to the side of the parking lot by the tennis courts for the following exercises. A nice slope and flat patch was to be traversed with exercise moves as bookends.

A year and half ago YHC would never have imagined that there would be 1 official AO in Briar Chapel let alone 2. That goes to show you how this thing has grown and what it means to each man who comes out. Speaking for myself this group of guys in BC and in Churham have made me a better Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Friend and man and I can”t thank you men enough. It is a pleasure to get up at this unreasonable hour to post beside you in the gloom. As The Wall grows we will all grow. Until the next time we meet in the Gloom, Aye!

Welcome FNG Slayer, you crushed your first workout! Hope to see you again soon.
Many of you outside of Briar Chapel may not know the Punisher. He is the 10y/o 2.0 of No” Money. He always posts very strong and impresses us each time he comes out. This morning he put on one of the greatest performances of all time. While bear crawling, crab walking, and merkin walking he struggled hard and lagged behind. As we all know, this is hard stuff. Often laying in the grass to catch his breath and give his arms a break, he would get back up and push forward. Given the chance to get up and walk, which I myself have done, he stuck with it and completed everything, he NEVER gave up. If you ever think that you can”t complete something just remember the Punisher and his determination and will. If you weren”t there, you missed something special.
