Pre-Blast: GORUCK Challenge 6/1/18

Mission At its heart, GORUCK Tough is a team-building event.

Going through the crucible with your F3 brothers is a powerful experience - ask any of our PAX who’ve ever done so. [Read More]

Freddie Wilt Would Be Proud

Pre-Pre-BB My 68 year old father just crushed six months of chemo and radiation. I cannot say THANK YOU enough to my brothers in F3.

In honor of dad’s incredible achievement, we’ll begin with 68 SSH.
