March Poolee Function

Hey everyone, I'm a little late with this post but a little late is better then never right? March's poolee function was a lot of fun! We did our normal IST "Initial Strength Test" which consisted of pull-ups, crunches and 1.5 mile run. I was able to get 8 almost 9 pull-ups this month, with 110 crunches in 2 min, and a 1.5 mile run at 9 min 43 seconds. I am sad to announce that I did not post the best run time out of everyone this month. We now have a running stud in our DEP group that posted an 8 min 43 second 1.5 mile which is very very good! But hey I am very happy with my run time. After doing the IST, we drove to the Army Reserve building which is by the Flying J exit. There we had a lot of fun taking apart M16's and putting them back together 100 times. This was the first time that I have touched/taken apart an M16 so I enjoyed it a lot! After practicing, we had a relay race to see which team could do this the fastest. Of course no one wins, because we are only as strong as our weakest link. But all in all it was a lot of fun. After that, we had Marine HP 165 from the highway patrol come in and show us what he is capable of doing. He is one of the scout sniper Highway Patrol units in the state, and he definatly is packing heat wherever he goes. He showed us his M4 with aimpoint sights and his scoped rifle that could pretty much see through you ha. It was very interesting listening to him, and even more interesting that he had the same last name as me. Probably a long lost relative somewhere down the line. But after that, our March Poolee function was complete! It was a lot of fun and I loved every second of it! Next month is gonna be even more fun. We go to Camp Ripley for a Mini Boot camp. Here they will fly in about 10 D.I's from San Diego and they will show us a good time! The only bad part about this is that I am missing my senior prom, but oh well I guess. I'm sure I'll have plenty to post about next month! Thanks and have a great day!
