PT

We whent to PT on Monday at the recruiting station in Logan. We did the IST (1 1/2 mile run, 2 mi. of crunches, as many pullups as possible), and I got 12:38 on my run, 69 crunches, and 7 pullups. The pull ups had improved by one and the crunches improved by two. Though my run was slower as last time was 11:49. I have gotten to where I will pass the IST, but I am working toward getting better anyways. You always have to push yourself or you will grow complacent. Anyway, I am looking forward to the next PT. OORAH!

Poolee function 20080816

Figured I'd give an example of the typical poolee function. FUN, EDUCATIONAL, and MOTIVATING!!! Seriously though, it really was all that. We hiked in Layton canyon in squads (I was put in Logan's squad because Brigham does not have its own Recruiter, YET) and we ate MREs for lunch. When we ate, we received lessons on the four steps to first aid, respect to Marines, and a written test on the knowledge book every recruit gets when he/she joins the DEP. The classes were taught by Staff Sergant Wynn, Sergant Madrano, and Staff Sergant Montgomery respectively. When we got down, we did a Kim game. Basically, each squad gets two minutes before the hike to look at and memorize a still life arranged by Staff Sergant Wheeler. When all the squads return from the hike, we must tell our scribe what we saw and he draws it. We won. I am looking forward to the next function, and I am glad we were able to start developing a sense of comradarie which is necessary in the Marine Corps. OORAH!

Pics of Me I

Couldn't put one in of my PT uniform as it wouldn't download right for some reason. But the pictures are my DEP certifacate, my "shrine", and me swearing in.

OORAH! II

First one failed (mainly due to my laziness in forgetting my account password), but I'm hoping to do better this time around. I fixed my profile and I plan on adding some new posts soon. Enjoy! OORAH!

I just swore into the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program. My MOS is intel. (I'm not sure which aspect of intel though) I will have some pictures posted soon of my "shrine" of combat literature, my PT uniform, my certificate sayiing I'm in the DEP, and me swearing in. I will also post pictures of PTs and Pool Functions to which I bring my camera. I'm open to comments (yea, and critisism) and POST COMMENTS SO I KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!
