Welcome to Watchtower Thank you for coming out – You chose the harder thing today, there is no doubt! You can decide later today if that was a smart decision.

WHY WATCHTOWER?
- watchtowers are a form of Fortification — derived from two Latin words that mean fortis (“strong”) and facere (“to make”)
- designed as vantage point to protect and defend against enemies,
- Equally important — WT’s prove to be instrumental to establish order and communicate particularly over long distances when its (DARK and CHAOTIC)

Watchtower is a new lane for accelerating in ENC. It will make the men who post strong. They will be able to protect and defend, they will understand one another through a shared misery that builds each man up and keeps him from falling down. Taking the DRP and post at the Watchtower, when 5/1/2021 at 1800 arrives in GrandStrand in a dark and chaotic moment — F3ENC/F3Kinston will not just survive we will thrive. Watchtower will be the difference!! Our regions, if we put in the work, we will establish order using the principles you learn everyday in the gloom. Through all the hard work and shared suffering, together we will be able to communicate clearly and move more effectively over long distances throughout all dang night.
Thanks boys. All along the Watchtower will be laying the next 43 feet ahead!

-Noonan
All along the Watchtower
- There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief - Business men, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody offered his word
Hey, hey - No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin’ falsely now
The hour’s getting late, hey Hey - All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey - All along the watchtower
