Week 3 is complete

Week 3 went out with a bang. We had a 3 mile release run (go or no-go event) and leadership and justice exam on Friday. Saturday we rucked 5 miles and completed the leadership reaction course.

At the leadership reaction course half of the obstacles were water obstacles. Our first one was a barrel one, my team decided to send me out on the barrels they gave me a good shove and then i went face first and plopped into 3 feet of water. So I was completely drenched for the rest of the course. It provided a good laugh for the cadre who were observing on the catwalk. I wasn't the only one who go wet on the course. Once everyone was complete, the 1SG called a formation by the water side of the course. He told us that we had to go thru the water under the concrete walls. He said that we had to go in a "neat and orderly fashion" but then said that the last person to reach the other side would have extra duty when we returned to the company. It turned into a free for all. It was great.

In the next week we are going to learn about planning military operations. It's all classwork for the next three weeks. We'll be going to the field on Aug 2 and return on the 22nd.
