The thought of a four day break sounded great on Wednesday, and it was. Spending time with the family, relaxing and catching up on shows (Thank you Tivo). I even managed to get my study guide done, and practice for a marathon of Worship music for church...all before the real weekend began. It was nice to get a taste of what is to come.
That leads up to today. We began our Monday like any other. The only difference was that I was the leader of Battalion A. I arrived a little before 7 and got started with our chores. Today, Windows and grounds. After that, test preparation. Around 8, one of the captains came in to administer the test. About 30 minutes later, we are all in the gym waiting for our next set of instructions.
Today we had instruction on our SCBAs. Captain brought in a few for us to look at and study. We took everything apart, re-installed the cylinder, and tested out the system. We also had a quiz...that's right...quiz and a test on the same day. No biggie...I did fine on both.
At 3:30 we headed to the Gym for PT. And thus the reason for the title.
Having four days away from extensive exercise is not the way to go. I have a feeling I will be paying for it in the morning. I did the directed amount of exercise over break, but that didn't make today any easier.
We started our day with a 1.5 mile run. We then headed back in the gym for our Three day a week calisthenics. This time Captain added push-ups. Exhausting. And he ended with his favorite....Leg lifts.
All of us busted our tail today, and it showed....We ended the day moping the sweat off of the floor. I guess that's one less chore in the morning.
Tomorrow, we get to put what we learned today into practice. That means full turnouts and air....It can't get any better.
