Introduction
The 3:30 AM alarm was early but rushed out the door to get some EC miles in with a few strong HIM. After getting in 3 miles we made it back to the AO where the air was thick after the 110 heat index yesterday but the men were ready to go. The ruck sacks were perfectly dressed up without a reminder from YHC & the men were eager to get started on the GTE30 PT test (Dilly modified version).

Naked Man Moleskin
CANDOR. Defined in F3 as “graciously telling the hard truth & demanding to hear it from others”. Many of you have heard me talk about the death of my father before my senior year in high school. For the next 2 years I made some bad decisions in my life, decisions that embarrassed my family & were not the actions of HIM. In my mind I was having fun, enjoying life, & my actions were a way for me to avoid the pain of losing my father. The problem was all those around me were to afraid to give me CANDOR & tell me the hard truth about what I was doing to my life. That was until I had one of my coaches “graciously” point out to me the mistakes I was making, the impacts I was having on others, & ultimately the path I was heading down. It was an awakening for me. It lead to me doing some serious soul searching & changing the person I wanted to be. You all may have similar experiences in your life where you have had to give or receive that hard truth. Men we are living in a society that wants everyone to feel liked & everything is okay. If it is not okay then give them a pill to make it feel better or tell them it’s okay to feel sorry for themselves. I disagree with this approach. It is a time for us to be honest with each other to share those hard truths graciously & ask people to give you the hard truth as well. My challenge men is to start living with CANDOR, start speaking & receiving those hard truths. AYE!
