-had the 'post battery' testing....which is the physical requirement to graduate...

-6 foot wooden wall, 6 foot chain link, little agility course, 165 lb dummy drag, and 500 yard sprint......i did mediocre in them all...meh...fell down and punctured my hand a bit when going over a sawhorse on 2nd go around(We had 2 attempts on all sections) trying to best my time...my left hand slipped and i went down to the ground with both hands....i would have had easier time just jumping over the obstacle in stride but we had to touch the horse with both hands...meh...6 ft walls i was about average or a bit worse in our squad...500 yard sprint i did in 98 seconds...i misunderstood where we had to run and slowed down midway only to realize it was almost up and start into a violent sprint to make my time respectable...meh...we had too many people running at the same time with the slower runners getting in the way...but whatever it's done with...fuck it..

-73 average on report writing thus far with 80 to pass.......our class is horrible with report writing....the livelihood of this career....we had 16/43 passing...i am about avg...i need a lot of improvement to succeed....today we had 3.5 hours to write 45 min report and we still had people not finish...even those who had access to comp lab(half the class, including myself had to write it by hand due to lack of computers)....

-new class had their orientation today and are starting monday...224th...stayed late for flag ceremony...as is the ritual for next week we cant talk to new class so they can 'bond'....tho in all truth...our classes hardly ever talk to each other with a few ...exceptions...

-Had what could be deemed as 'stress' day today...
-yesterday out report writing instructor hinted that we need a lot more stress in the academy to simulate real life and if he had one wish that would be it for making academy like life on the street...
-today our flag guide and officer of the day...had to do flag ceremony on his lunch for our senior class so he didnt check in during lunch with our staff as is required hourly....so he got push ups...rest of us got 50 more ...the ground was so hot from the sun half the people got blisters on their palms...i couldnt keep my hands on the ground for too long and had to stop and continue...then we got 1000 word memo for why someone left a paper air.pla.ne in class....why someone left their vest unsecured in class, ditto for chips/food...etc...and ofcourse one of our classmates decided to be a bitch and complain about using leather luster to shine our shoes because that person couldnt figure out how to go to the store, buy the shit, and do it...so now we gotta strip our shoes and do it 'old fashioned way'....which is impossible because that shit is next to impossible to get off...so 120$ for another pair of shoes that will only be used for next 3 months...i am speechless...I know the memo is just part of the game...but the fact that some1 couldnt man up about his 250 word memo which we all could do standing on our head and ratted us out is pure shit...previous classes went through whole academy using it with no issues....meh

-had 15 min of conditioning...which felt hard as the flu/cold is kicking my ass....

-50 jumping jacks
-30 thrusts(burpees with no jump)
-80 mountain climbers
-200-300 push ups...the quality of which would be laughable...

-learned 8/14 baton 'kata'...kinda cool...my forarms are still badly sore from wed when i decided to do baton strikes on my own for conditioning...meh..


got 10 K class run tomorrow....

[DEVILsSON]

[XTrainer]

Sweet deal.

I don't know if you have read my log lately, but I finally hit that long awaited press PR today.

[DEVILsSON]

10K runs today was more of a slow jog and walk. It was stadium to stadium run from SF Giants to SF 49ers. We finished the race in about 90 minutes. There was like a fair set up inside the park which was cool. I went up to the climbing wall and did that and just walked around and got free stuff.

It's close to 90 here today and that's very warm for this city. The streets were mostly flat with some slight inclines and declines and a light breeze here and there...

For some reason, I am extremely amused they have a "baton kata."
