I love it!
I wasn't raised with any military experience, my dad was in the army for a very short while and that was long before I was born. The only other person that had anything to do with the military was my grandpa, he was in WWII and flew planes for the air force before there was an air force, I've heard several of his stories, I always thought they were cool. Having said that, while I was in the process of singing up for the AFROTC I really didn't have any clue what I was getting into. So the first couple of weeks I was curious about whether I would like it or not. So far I love it!
today, got up super early again, put on my PT clothes and I was off. We went through FTP just the same as usual. Today we did do something new, we did "ladders" where from your starting point you have to run to another point and then back to the starting point. Then you have to run to another point that is further than the point that you ran to the first time and it builds and it hurts. We did that and it was pretty fun. I'm not too good at it either. After we had done that we went in to some column formation and a cadet raised his hand and said "sir, permission to go throw up!" the kid bailed the line and it was pretty funny that he asked. At times like those, its not that necessary to ask.
anyway, I went home and I was feeling pretty good, I think it's cause I got more sleep than usual I got to bed about 2200 instead of 2330 or something. Once I was home I did some more sit ups and push ups cause I really wanted to get my muscles hurt so I would get tough well, I got ready for classes and left, the as200 and as100 classes were pretty normal. Then lead lab came.
At lead lab we met up at the Marriott center parking lot and then we got in to our flights and then ran up to rock canyon park it was super fun for me cause I was already physically wasted and I was pushing myself more, I enjoyed it. The best part was the "jodies" that we got to sing on the way up there (jodies are sung in cadence, usually someone leads the group and the group repeats what the leader sings). I love to yell/sing so I got a kick out of it. Once we got up there we had to be placed at different stations and do certain activities. The first one we split up into two groups, the first had to run to the top of a hill and come back down and then had to do push ups, your buddy ran up and then came down and did sit ups, then you ran up came back down and did sit ups. That was very tiring. The next station was a lrc of some sort, I volunteered to be the leader and we had to get across an imaginary river using some orange cones and rules. It was hard and we didn't get it figured out 'till the end, then it was too late. Next we did foot ball then some more ladders and push ups and sit ups and flutter kicks then we had to get quizzed at movements, marching column movements and so forth. It was pretty tough. Then we ran back down to the Marriott and did jodies along the way, it was great!
that's not even my whole day, I still have to go to choir practice tonight and then to an Arnold air society meeting.. The fun of the ROTC never seems to stop
ps, I would write more but i'm against the clock
I love this stuff..
