Week 5: Day 3

0700 PT....

After stretching, we formed 3 groups. 2 groups of 10 and 1 group of 4. The group of 4 was all female recruits that carried the big tractor tire over their head and on their shoulders. The other 2 groups each carried a TELEPHONE POLE. We spent time carrying it on our shoulders, then over our heads, then we would put it down for pushups, 6 inches, etc.

We then used it as part of our workout....we put our hands on it and feet on the ground for pushups, then switched and put our feet on it and hands on the ground for pushups, then we got into situp position and the instructors put it on our chests (with us cradling it) and we did situps with it.

On the way back down, we stopped at the sand pit for more pushups, 6 inches, and whatever else they felt we needed to do.

It was all definitely a workout.....my shoulders are sore.

After that, we spent the remainder of the day in lecture.

The previous leader has a torn meniscus and needs surgery. Another guy from the other battalion blew out his shoulder today and is probably going to have to get an MRI. Also, the cell phone guy was told that he needed a 95% on the quiz tomorrow in order to continue his training and employment with the County......WE SHALL SEE!! (I'm not holding my breath, since he hasn't passed a single quiz yet).
