No rest for the weary! Up @ 0400, 2 mile run after PT @ 0515. Chow at the barracks @ 0700. We performed our first "movement" today as a company. It was a 2 mile march with about 80% of our gear including our weapon. Guys were dropping like flies. It was about 89 degrees when we started and reached 95 degrees throughout the day. We marched to the Team Building Course which consists of 6 different mind boggling obstacle courses. You know, the ones where you have to get your group across the river with no bridge. Very entertaining actually. We completed that around 1500 hours and came back to the barracks. At 1800, we had chow then a class on how to use gas masks. That is tomorrow and should be really interesting. Our platoon, 1st Platoon, is coming along! We are still missing the small things but we seem to have one of the best, if not the best platoon. I kept a running total today of how many push-ups we did and by 21:00, lights out, our platoon had knocked out about 480. If we mess up, the drill sergeants make us drop down and knock out 20 push ups. Only making us better though! I hope everyone had a great 4th!
