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!
