The day started with a trip over to Administration. Lieutenant gave us a pre-warning that our day may NOT be as good as we were hoping for. Our walk over to admin was a quazi-nervous walk, and our sitting in the War Room didn't help matters any. But all we had to do is move office furniture from one room to another. I even helped set up the computers in the new offices. I guess old habits die hard.
After our walk back to the training center, some of us took a bathroom break, others headed back up to the classroom. I took a potty break. I mention this, because this break is going to be important....read on.
Once back in the classroom, we hit the books and started altered mental status. After about twenty minutes or so, lieutenant had to take a five minute break. After about 10 minutes or so, we were greeted by Captain and another Lieutenant. The asked us if anyone had been in the bathroom rattling of curse words. None of us recalled doing that, so........we all ended up lined up in the gym. 1st round - twenty pushups - no one spoke up. 2nd round - twenty pushups - Still no one talking. 3rd round twenty-five squat thrusts - no one talking. 4th round twenty-five squat thrusts - still no one talking. We were then left alone for five minutes to discuss our situation. 5th round - twenty five mountain climbers...no one confesses. 6th round - another set of 25 mtn. climbers...no one spoke. We were then sent to a brief lunch.
After lunch, we continued on with Altered Mental Status. I was chosen to do the last assessment of the day. As everyone crowded around, lieutenant received a phone call. Seemed someone needed assistance in the bathroom downstairs. Five of us and lieutenant grabbed the EMT bag and headed down. We all ended up assisting the patient. It was a great learning experience....
PT was fun as well. We went outside to the drill ground. Ralph had us stretch out a 100 foot section of 4 inch hose by running it down to a set cone. After we reached the cone, we pulled the hose down towards us. Once the hose was past the cone, we dropped the hose and ran up and down the tower. We did this three times.
Tomorrow should be interesting...We were told to bring extra clothes because the 1st hour of work, may be a tough one....Time shall see

Did your bathroom break have anything to do with the person who later needed it? The way you set it up ( and I never thought a bathroom break could be so compelling) I thought your break would play a bigger role in the later events.
