Training Week 8 ~TEAM WEEK~

This schedule is of course subject to change due to weather, holidays and the needs of the company. TD42 Monday **Start of Team Week** Team week is a time for the recruits to get caught up on any testing they need (swim quall, upgrade if required by their MOS or qualify on the range so they don't get dropped in training). But since not everyone needs to do that, the rest of them work around base in small groups doing odd jobs. Cleaning up the classrooms, working at the visitor center making things spic and span, working at the base laundry (where their cammies are washed) It is a nice break in their routine of hustle and bustle everywhere! The small unit field training will occur at MCT or SOI. Today they are supposed to have: ~Rifle re-qualification for those that need it ~Upgrades in swim qualifications for those that need it for their MOS ~Work around the base in teams of about 5-10 recruits doing odd jobs for different offices, laundry and even the pool ~Some will also have to go to dental if they are on the "hit list" for teeth pulling or fillings or cleanings. ~yikes~ This week is a nice break from the go, go, go, of the daily routine. TD43 Tuesday Today is a day of working parties (groups of recruits due maintenance around the base) or rifle re-qualification if necessary or swim qualification upgrade if required by MOS. At least it is a break from the normal routine.... Lead Series will also get to do the obstacle course and run some sprints to work on their speed. TD44 Wednesday Today is a day of working parties (groups of recruits due maintenance around the base) or rifle re-qualification if necessary or swim qualification upgrade if required by MOS. At least it is a break from the normal routine.. Tomorrow will be better. However, Follow Series will get to do that PT that Lead Series got to do yesterday: the obstacle course and sprints!
