Each Flight does some warmup exercises
Of course there is always the Pushup.
Cant have PT without running....
and running....
After a pleasant run of around 4 miles, you greet the bar, in this case the pullup bar. The white shirted guys are instructurs. They are there to...motivate(!) you. You are guaranteed to get individual attention if you fail to meet standards on the bar.
Pullups are great, however, nothing is more fun than dips. Lots of dips. Those not doing dips are doing laps around their teammates until its their turn. No-one walks on the PT field.
Every once in a while the PT pits get a little grass in them. Grass in a PT pit is a bad thing, as shown here by a flight turning grassy PT pits to nice rectangular ones filled with soft comfortable sand.... Instructors will let you know if you have dug enough. maybe.
Sometimes you get to do a ruck march and then some water PT. First you hump your ruck until the instructor says to stop. Then, as shown here with Eagle 46, you play follow the leader. The guy just about to hit the water is TSgt Kibby, one of the instructors at the course.
Water is fun to play in.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: Here we see the fledgling Romad Candidates, migrating out of the briney depths to nest on a local beach. For some odd reason that biologist cannot determine, the ROMAD Candidates like being covered in sand and mud. Nature at its finest
The now beached romads perform some odd flailing motions with their newly aquired legs where their flippers used to be. Working those muscles so that they can once again, walk the earth.....and hit bars, pickup chicks and more or less make a nuisance of themselves
Checking their arms by doing pushups in the surf, the romad Candidates prepare for more fun in the florida sun.
Such as jumping jacks in water. Not alot of fun for the legs.
After determining that the local bar was out of liquor, the fledgling romads head back to the depths of the sea. Not to show their faces again until the end of the 75 day techschool.
