“Principle 1 — F3 is free of charge, but your payment is effort.”

3. Bear Crawl 20 yards out, lunge back
– buddy up. Keep pace
No one finishes alone—motto reminder here: leave no man behind.

“Principle 2 — Open to all men, no matter pace or fitness. Motto reminder: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.”
