- When: 04/29/2023
- QIC: Left-Turn, Papa Smurf, Jumanji, Eileen
- The PAX: 74 pax (sorry, missed out on Name-O-Rama as YHC was attending to an FNG that was experiencing what many of the rest of the pax on their first beatdown) including 5 FNGs (Icy Hot, Catwalk, Lorax, Oxy, Bagadonuts, and Six-Shooter).
74 pax from the AOs out of F3 First Coast and F3 River City converged at Boondocks to celebrate the 8th Anniversary of the “Super-Region” of F3 Jacksonville. April 25th 2015, a group of men who became our brothers, hopped into a clown car in Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC and welcomed them to F3 Nation. It took some time, but the pax has grown through the years. We’ve gone from 1 AO to 42 total beatdowns throughout the week, including 8 Saturday AOs. While the growth is great, we hope our impact to our families, communities and wherever we are planted is even greater. At any rate, as YHC mentioned previously, the pax descended upon Boondocks to celebrate the only way we know how- through a beawtdown.

COT/BOM (Extinguisher, Nan’tan of F3 River City)
Extinguisher closed us out asking the pax to imagine what they can accomplish if they push themselves just a little bit further than what they thought they could do. To get right, we need to push ourselves to be fit, to strengthen and properly prioritize our concentrica, and recognize that we are not the center of the universe and we are made to serve.
F3 Jacksonville incurred some loses since our last anniversary beatdown. Scholls led the pax in prayer over and for Crotchless and the Bailey family as well as for Heisenberg and the McCrea family. May Darth Nihilus (Ian) and Heisenberg (Jeff) rest in peace.
T-claps to the Fifty Cent and the pax of Boondocks for hosting; T-claps to the pax for their canned veggies and at least $350 donations to TRM; T-claps to our FNGs for making it through their first F3 beatdown; and T-claps to the pax of the Super Region of F3 Jacksonville for 8 years of doing the hard thing. Keep taking the Daily Red Pill. Aye!
