AP has recently completed his duties as a F3 Nation Board member. As such, the Board is actively seeking a new member as his replacement. The search committee consists of AP, Snap Fade (board member from Metro), Shoota (Chariman), Salsa (a PAX member out of Puget Sound), and Square (a PAX member from Greensboro) in presenting an application for board member/director. We as a group will review each application, chat with candidates, then work toward recommending and ultimately adding members to the board as spots open and fit allows.

We expect the process to be very competitive and friendly, much like an F3 workout and much like the last time we entered this process. If you’re interested in learning more, the application is available in the "Apply Today" button below.

Today is the last day to to apply for the upcoming Cadre Training Academy. We need Cadres to lead future GrowRuck events for F3 Nation. Rather than hiring outside, we need PAX to step up and take on the challenge to lead. Linked below is the application.

Apprenticeship (Q4.3)

The Phase Of The LDP Within Which Positive Habit Transfer Takes Place

The idea of Apprenticeship seems quaint and dated now, but there was a time when it was primary method by which any skill worth having was passed on from man to man. Whether it was butcher, baker or candlestick maker, an aspirant to any trade had to find a willing master under whom he could apprentice.

Put another way, the apprentice’s wages were primarily paid by the master with the opportunity to obtain a vocation.
