Hi everyone,
Well it is Wednesday night and we are almost done 1.5 weeks to go. We had our final exam tuesday and today we gave our informative briefs (speech about a topic) We are also doing LRC this week. LRC is leadership Reaction Course. What that is exercises where 5 people get rea a scenario then you are taken ito the game box and have to figure out how to solve the scenario. It usually involves getting the team members from one side to the other either over water or a fake mined area. You cannot touch certain things or fall in th water or you are penalized. You have 18 minutes to finish. Sometimes you have to build thins to transfer your team. Sometimes you have a dummy on a stretcher you have to get across without spilling. I was in 2 scenarios today. We solved one but not the other. The second one involved crossing a mined area on a skinny board suspended in the air. Kind of like a balance beam. The first attempt I panicked and fell but I did make it across the second time. (I hate heights) The people who are not participating in the scenario act as safey officers and 2 of them caught me when I fell. Anyway tomorrow we do it again. Then next week they take us to do AEF. I do not yet know exactly what that is. I know it involves sleeping in a tent in a field where there may be lots of snakes and spiders and we are going to run a fake field hospital kind of like on Mash. That is it for now. I am going to try to figure out how to put up some photos.
