"Here's health to you and to our Corps..."
Happy 236th Birthday, Marines.
Yesterday's PT was yet again, on our own. Never once have we had any semblance of structured workouts. I did more bench pressing, but I got tired faster. Did some core exercises as well, and called that good for the day.
After finishing the last lecture yesterday, and having a comprehensive study time, today we took the test, and that was all, except for a brief field day. I was the only one in the class to get a 100%! Just shows you that I should have turned my heart over to the Lord faster than I did. I asked questions about everything that was confusing... and it helped. I also didn't worry as much this time, and didn't take comprehensive notes.
Since we are entering the holiday season, with a 3-day weekend tomorrow, a 4-day for Thanksgiving in two weeks, and the big 17-day allowable span for Christmas, we were given a safety brief focusing on distracted driving, the recent statistics from Captain's Masts, the "Holiday Blues", and sexual assault & harassment. Chief Cruz kept all the females afterwords to reassure us that we shouldn't let the males talk down to us about being in the Navy. Okay. Hasn't been a problem for me. But it included all the female students on this base, and after noticing it was about 12 to a row, and 10 rows, I've finally got a figure on how many of us there are, compared to the males: I'd figure there are at least 4 or 5 times that many males here in a student status.
All said, it only took 2 hours and was one of the better safety briefs I've endured. It kept moving along just fine.
