The broken record is that we keep calling The Mission an inspiring Post, Smokey said it last week, Cornstache the wk before, McLovin before that, Serena before that, Chaser before that, Stones before that, Robber before that, Alter Boy before that. But hold on. My beloved Strut is inspiring too – especially when Lamont gets smoked by Fiji at Pull-Ups. And your home AO is motivating too. So what’s the difference between The Mission and our home posts. Nothing, except the OGM men don’t have a driver’s license, a car, a job or a carefree day w/o the pressure of succumbing to an addiction or a disorder or a terrible streak of bad luck. And it’s teaching me that, yes, we ALL got our problems but The Mission men are thankful for another day the way my God wants me to be thankful for another day.

Moleskin – Everybody loves to lead a Boot Camp. It’s obvious that sometime this summer Striper will take the reins. Or Southpaw. Or Zuckerburg. Or The Flash. Let’s keep pushing them with a hard workout and good natured mubblechatter. And see where it takes them.
Testimonials – “How You’ve Been the Recipient of F3 Support”, Q asked anyone to comment. Turned out 4 OGM men took advantage of this. These men thanked God for OGM program and F3. This was a humble time. Men said God was at work here. Men said they needed the support of F3.
