Well during PT today we ran 2 miles up hill. I did not walk only jogged. Thanks SGT Born I did not get much shit even though I was toward the end of the pack. We ran two miles and I didn not stop jogging it was slow but not walking!!! I am pretty sure someone broke my shins with a baseball bat. After PT 1st time I cried because holy hell they hurt so very bad. Then we went to chow and went back to the barracks and changed clothes including putting on our IBA (bullet proof vest) We then marched as a company for 1 1/2 miles to an obstical course. The course is about 1 mile long with walls to jump stuff to climb through high step over and another tall ass cargo net to climb up and down. Our platoon got the fastest platoon banner so that is posted with our flag which is pretty cool. We have the heaviest guys in our platoon and the smallest also.We are a very diverse company for sure. We have been at actually basic for almost 2 weeks and we have one person out of our platoon for a broken foot, another that refuses to train, and a couple others on profile already (profile=broken soldier) after the fit town (obstical course) We put our gear back and marched back. My shins were hurting again not just some but tears every step. It only hurts every second, but when I stop its worse. When we get back we learned how to stand, lay, move when in combat with our rifles. Then we went to classroom and learned more about presenting arms. After learning about presenting arms we had a fire drill. Then counted weapons and people. Then off to bed. I had fireguard swept and mopped our entire side of bay, not enough sleep for sure.
