WISE journal 5

   On Wednesday, our guide, which is the highest amongst us, was out and asked me to take her place that I would be guide when she left to bootcamp. I was honored and excited, that was until I actually got to the office. The Marines said that they were going to run PT. It was probably the most challenging, physical, and mental PT we've had in a while. I usually like when they run PT because its a guranteed workout, but I thought a lot of us were going to die. Some threw up, some quit half way through, and some did not even show up, but not me. After PT the Marines sat us down and explained why they are as tough on us as they are. They went on to explain the brotherhood of the Marine Corps. That every Marine should look out for the Marine next to them. One day, they will be leaving the Marine Corps and they feel the only way to give back to the Marine Corps is by training and getting better quality Marines to replace them. After that I realized, I have to strive to be the best if I'm going to replace the best.
