170 PAX (4 FNGs) descended upon the hallow ground of Strut, once part of F3Columbia. It is with great honor and humility that I author this backblast. 364 days ago 40 men came to this place as SadClowns. Thanks to Dredd, Sway, AlterBoy, Napalm, Mission, Robber, among many many others we now proudly launch F3LakeMurray. We are one brotherhood with one purpose…to make ourselves better men. Together we have done this. We have changed lives, bodies and minds, achieved purpose and developed initiative, and created a desire for self-reflection. We have challenged ourselves in every way possible. Most importantly, we have discovered that we are 3rd. Thanks to Dredd for making this trip to Columbia to celebrate.
