Second Day...



As we went to bed at 0930 awaiting for a full day tomorrow we were suddenly awokein at 1200 by the alarms and flashing lights. It was a fire drill and as we were leaving the barracks we covered ourselves and a blanket just in case for the falling debris we were protected. When we got the okay we went back to bed and awoke to yelling and command staff getting us out for P.T. We marched down to the lower parade ground to later be split into three groups. The groups were hotel, golf,x-ray, and x-ray being the hardest. When we were done we marched back up to our barracks to get ready for opening formation, and breakfast. After all this we later found out that we were going to the swimming pool for a water survival class. In the class we learned how to stay afloat with our BDU pants, and blouses. The drill Sgt also showed us the three survival strokes which were the breast stroke, side stroak, and back stroak. We also got some free time in the pool to jump off the diving board and meet new people. When are fun had to come to a end we went back to the barracks in preparation for classes and organized sports. We marched down to the baseball field to play kickball and release any more of our energy. We concluded our day with some flight time, showering and going to bed.

Sounds like the cadets are learning incredible new adventures. I know Cadet Parent is excited to be living his dream and will take this all in and apply it in future years.

Great job cadets, your families are very proud of you.
