Circle of Trust

Today i wanted to focus on the 3rd F of F#, Faith.  This is not a focus on religion but the idea of doing something greater than yourself.  We had our first 3rd F event last weekend to support Mission Zero Hundred Hours and their mission to help veterans.  It was a great event and the PAX who participated in the Ruck or volunteered their time saw how powerful the 3rd F is.

The 1st F is what brings out.  The idea of getting stronger, challenging yourself to run a bit faster / one more rep, and encouraging other PAX to finish strong is the start.  The 2nd F is what keeps the PAX coming out.  The Crossroads has a done a great job of creating a solid 2nd F culture.  We have a strong coffeeteria, new 2nd F event HoHO that allows PAX the chance to Q a social event.  Now is the time to build on the 3rd F.  Dilly Dilly will be Qing our first day of Q Source next week.  It will be an abridged version to help the PAX understand what the Q source means and prepare everyone for the full roll out next year.  Continue to challenge yourself, help those men out there find their true calling, and stay on the path of “Getting Right”

Pi did a great job supporting Sprinkler on his second post.  Watching Vern, Dilly, and 5-Putt supporting the PAX on the baseball diamond and everyone coming together to support the 6 finish their exercises was amazing today.
