Moleskin:

Thank you Shawshank for the privilege of leading such a great group of men, truly an honor.  The IC’s were a little rough, but the spirits were high and the effort was amazing.  Humbled by the men that showed up and encouraged me as I fumbled through my first Q.  I was pushed to the limits and almost Merlot’d after the shoulder presses with the blocks.  2nd F was awesome, great getting to know the men of F3.  Proud to be apart of F3 Lexington.
