At RIP hold

We got picked up yesterday morning and man did the fun begin. It started with a nice duffel run down to the compound follwed by a time hack to get other bags off the bus in formation. of course we didnt make the time and got smoked a little. Then they marched us to the court and I was done then. I had not hydrated at all over the weekend and the little PT cooked me. I was whiteing out and got yanked out of formation. About 11 of us were yanked and told we were being dropped. I was freaking out. They took us in the building and called me in to tell me to sign the quit form. I said I didn't want to and got smoked in the office for what seemed like ever. After numerous pushups, flutter kicks, and bear crawling I was allowed to go into the classroom with the others who were waiting in the hall. Not much better after that. We did some 400 or so jumping jacks with no water. I was definetly awaken to what is in store for us. You think you know but you have no idea fits perfectly. PT test tomorrow. Pass and then onto the next class whenever that is. Barrett88 and I will keep you posted...

So how many people signed the quit form?

I bet it was enough to get everybody else's attention.

Sounds like a nice laid back like a dead fly vacation you had that day. Drive on.

Sounds like some things never change..ah' the memories.

It's worth every minute of it and a necessary step in the evolution of a Batt. Boy.
Hang tough, hold on and enjoy the ride.
Good Luck to You!

Everytime one of you guys leaves for Benning, I say, "Drink LOTS of water....." It doesn't sound so gay anymore, does it? You've got to stay hydrated or you get wiped with even a small smoking.

Hopefully your eyes have been opened. I wish you luck on the PT Test tomorrow. Don't sign that form!

Lay off the 40's and drink 1 part Gatorade to 3 parts water for the next couple of weeks.
