Week 2: Day 3

CPR Training (All Day)

I am starting to think that I am making the Academy sound easy. To shed that myth, I will share some information. The academy is very structured. The rules are simple....FOLLOW THE RULES!!

A recruit brought a cell phone into class: class does pushups

A recruit was late to class: class (minus offender) does pushups

A recruit left his book in the class and the Captain found them: class (minus offender does pushups

A recruit did not properly greet personnel at the academy: battalion had to do lunges around the perimeter of the building. After each lunge we said "Good Afternoon Sir"

A recruit did not complete his gear check: instructors disassembled our gear, put it in a huge pile, and we had ten minutes to find our stuff, put it back together, and get dressed in turnouts for a gear check. Each minute past the 10 minute mark, we would have to do 25 pushups.

TOMORROW, WE OWE 425 PUSHUPS. Our breaks throughout the day will be spent doing groups of 40 pushups.

.......and this is WEEK 2.
