PT.. Bootcamp style

  As I stated in my earlier blogs we often meet new Marines on recruiters assistance. One way they assist the recruiters is by running PT for them. Well, when you have newly born Marines straight out of bootcamp they tend to remember the kind of torture that was done to them a lot easier. Point is, its extremly tough when they come out to do it. Some of the things he told us to do I thought were completely impossible. I guess that's the mental toughness part. Monday, a fellow squadleader and I ran PT because the guide wasn't there. Whenever she can't go she always asks me to take her spot. So, of course we made them hurt. The next day never got any easier. I'm starting to realize that anything related to the Marine Corps is a lot easier when its over, if that makes any sense. Tuesday, was more teamwork with fireman carries and drags and runs around the park. Sounds a lot easier than it really is. Wednesday they decided to introduce circuit running to us. Long story short, circuit running sucks. We sprint about a football field then immediately go into some type of exercise for a certain time interval. As soon as time is up, we sprint another football field and etc. I was hurting for about a week, yeah, that bad.
