Boot Camp

Boot Camp
By: Micah Worek
Day 01
For the first day of boot camp we all had to go around and share our names and where we are from.
Then, we had intake so they knew what to put on our dog tags and uniforms. I really hope these 13
weeks go fast.
Day 07
The training is getting more and more intense each day. Today we had to go on a four mile run with all pour gear on, and it didn’t help
that the drill instructor was screaming in our face the whole
time.
Day 13
Our schedule is going to take some time to get used to considering we
have to get up at 5 a. m. every morning. I’m beginning to miss my
family even more everyday.
Day 27
This is our first physical training exam of boot camp. It consists of
push ups, sit ups, crunches, running, and more. With the
confidence I have, I am sure that I will pass.
Day 31
We finally got our results back from our first PT test, and I passed no
problem! Only 60 days left of boot camp until graduation.
Day 45
My body is thriving but in pain from all the training we have done so far.
We are marines, and you know what they say- “Pain is weakness
leaving the body.”
Day 67
It is getting very close to graduation. Most of us are scared to see where we are going to be
sent. Basic training is like a walk in the park compared to where we
will be sent.
Day 76
Now that I’ve been here for awhile, I feel I’ve changed.
I grew up a lot, and I know my family and all my friends will be so proud of
me.
Day 85
Two more days until graduation, and I am so nervous. We meet with our sergeant, and a couple
of the other men. I may be sent off to war, but today is our last day of training. The Crucible will imitate
war-like conditions to see how we function and work as a team during a war. It will be 54 grueling hours of
intense training.
Day 91
Graduation day is today! I’m officially graduated as private
first class. I’ve learned a lot but mainly honor, loyalty, and
respect.
