Swim test went pretty well. I joined the weak swimmers group and didn't do so badly. I found out that this test, along with the Combat Water Survival Test, are more to gauge where we are at than to actually qualify us. :)
Well, today I got up before 5 to prepare for the FTX. I arrived at the assembly area at 0525, and we got into formation before heading out to Ft. A. P. Hill. There, the MS IIIs went off to qualify with the M16, while the MS Is and IIs went rapelling and did an obstacle course. Rapelling was pretty easy; we were only 30 feet off the ground when we went down, and I don't think anyone fell. :) The obstacle course also wasn't that difficult (if you were in moderate physical shape). A lot of it focused on mental ability and teamwork. We also learned different ways to carry a wounded comrade.
I ate 2 MREs today, along with another government-issued breakfast. No comment on the food. 
(Except the MREs aren't nearly as bad as they are said to be.... :D )
After the Is and IIs finished the obstacle course and rapelling, we were able to do a little shooting with the M16. I was aiming too high most of the time, and I only managed to get 11 of the 40 targets. :)
Quick prayer request:
Last Thursday, an anti-war guy was arrested for trespassing (he didn't have a permit to protest) next to a Marine recruting booth. Now, the ACLU is upset, and is staging a major anti-war demonstration on campus at 12 tomorrow (along with 9 other liberal, homosexual, anti-war, etc. groups). The Colonel has said that, if any cadets get into a fight, they will lose their scholarships and get kicked out of ROTC. We have been strongly encouraged to not wear anything Army-ish. I will be away tomorrow from 9-3, but I would appreciate prayer for the other cadets, that they don't do anything they would regret. Right now, with their attitudes, they would make a battle-hardened Marine Drill Sergeant proud, but that isn't exactly good PR. :D
