He seems fine. Beat up from the O-course, but motivated and in his element. Lets see if it lasts........:icon_tong

I wish him the best, from one 0621 to another.

The last two years I've had friends at AFROTC field training that received special gifts of cookies and "boot camp barbie". Apparently the first one eventually became the mascot of the entire group and made my friend well known throughout the FTU.

Writing letters? Thats what classes are for. How else are you supposed to stay awake

How did you all manage to get your liberty taken away

record high temps for that week... alot of people fell out on one of the humps.... the Col. went high and to the right... chewed all of us out and secured our libo. He later went easy on those that were boarded after going on one of "major marathon's" humps... 'nuff said.

"major marathon's" humps... 'nuff said.

wow, u gotta be intense to be called THAT by a Marine... We had a SSgt that "felt like [he] could fly" every day for PT... But he was no "marathon" person... he just loved running, fast... lol

So I take it the Col resolved the issue with "major marathon" and made sure you candidates were alright? That is his job, to take care of his Marines... among other things...

On the other hand, the best way to take care of your Marines is to give them hard, realistic training. (I know, it always pissed me off when someone said it to me when I was 10 miles into the woods and out of water with 8 miles left to hump home)

 

[MasterHaynes86]

yea, thats true DD... I'm glad i had an airplane as a SSgt, lol...

Might as well work hard and long... We dont wanna live forever, do we?

Yeah every single candidate that was boarded as a hump drop was retained... in fact the Col. cut the 12-mile hike down to a 9-miler given the circumstances with Maj. Marathon.... interesting situation.

 

[Slammer2]

and he was way too tired to lead the moto run for Alpha and Charlie company the next morning. Nice slow 9 min pace!

Glad we could hook someone up

not too shabby... i swear our long humps always got extended, lol... We weren't running a marathon either. haha

and he was way too tired to lead the moto run for Alpha and Charlie company the next morning. Nice slow 9 min pace!

haha... nice. The only moto run PLC people get to do is one toward the end... it was a nice slow pace for all of Golf and Echo. India (3rd to the rear) MIGHT have had some problems, but Kilo Co had to run the whole moto run due to the accordian (sp?) effect. But it was fun because SSgt Risen called cadence... It was bad [censored].

Time for a phsychology test.

peace

 

[Slammer2]

Yeah we were way in the back too. Alpha 1-5 followed by Charlie 1-2 then my platoon. Major slinky effect. And us and 4th platoon got cut off by the damn train coming back. So we had to sprint over that bridge cursing it outloud as we passed.
