Woke up at 0500 this morning, we will just call it getting used to 0600-1800 day shift. Got ready only to find out it was raining...so after standing out in the increasing rain for about 10 minutes waiting on people to show up to formation I'm back in the room. Protein bars for breakfast are better than mystery breakfast in the cafeteria...plus there is Diet Mountain Dew in the drink machine...and I NEED caffeine!!
Everyone is pretty sore from yesterday. Only going to get worse today. PT today includes push ups, running, etc...will let you know how that goes...unless the soreness gets better it's gonna suck pretty dang bad!
About time to take books to class and get ready for formation...will update more tonight.
**UPDATE**
About to start studying for the evening but a quick update on what we did today.
Had class on Civil Liability this morning. Very interesting and useful but a TON of information to get down and learn.
Had our first Physical Training (PT) today. Did a 12 minute run...everyone completed it without walking. Then 3 sets of 10 push ups, 3 sets of 15 crunches in various forms, and 3 sets of 10 air squats. Got through them all...really sore now though.
Had DT again after and began working on speed handcuffing. Caught on to that pretty quickly wasn't bad at all. Tomorrow we start pain compliance techniques so will probably be VERY sore tomorrow. Lots of classes tomorrow as well.
So far food has been decent. Haven't gone to breakfast...been using that as quiet time and getting ready...lunch and dinner though haven't been bad at all.
Time to get the Aynor PD/RHPD study group going again. Everyone is doing well.

Some of you know that I'm big on quotes/verses so if you come across anything good please shoot them my way. Almost to the mid week point and encouragement would be awesome.
