3rd Annual F3 Golf Classic: Official Historian’s Report
Every year, Old Sycamore Golf Club plays host to the one of the most anticipated events of the year, where men from all F3 regions can assemble to determine who has the worst golf fashion sense on the Eastern Seaboard. Early Bloomer is always the odds on favorite, with a penchant for multiple-logoing like he’s a […]
Paying it forward and having fun at the same time – can’t beat that
Four #HIM’s and seven middle school boys from Grier Heights/Cherry Street ventured out to the US National White Water Center for some outdoor activities. The boys are part of the Bull Dogs Matters/Freedom School programs at AG Middle School, which F3 has supported for several years. Our goal is to teach the boys teamwork, […]
Comments on the Mud Run
As the comment function has been disabled on the actual Mud Run backblast, which is fine (author’s discretion), I just wanted to provide a separate venue for those that have further comments to be able to make them, if they are so inclined. I don’t have any comments because I wasn’t there, but I support […]
The Other Side of CSAUP
I didn’t have to write this, but I felt it necessary. I was not the Q for the event, but I wanted to offer a slightly different perspective on what happens in F3 and what happens during a #CSAUP event when it doesn’t quite work out as planned. First a bit of background… I spent a […]

THE WIKI-MUD
To write a guide for the F3 masses who will compete this spring in the bi-annual USMC Mud Run is a daunting if not impossible task for any man. Individuals and teams among the pax are both the best and most numerous contenders in this event and so many have a far greater knowledge than YHC. Rather […]
