Day 29. SEAL Day.

05 JULY 2012

(The actual date of the day I'm going to talk about was 22 JUNE.)


Even though the idea of running the SEAL O-course sounded fun, the majority of us were burnt out and didn't feel like doing anything. It was our last day and we just wanted to spend it with each other or go home already.

However, once we got to the SEAL base on Coronado, I was pretty motivated. We watched some pretty sweet videos show casing the SEALS and SWCC community. We ran over to the O-course and were split in a few different groups after having a demonstration on how to do the different obstacles.

I've ran the Marine O-course numerous times at MCRD, but never the SEAL one. I like O-courses though, they're a great workout and are so fun to do. Plus, this O-course was WAY cooler than the Marine one.

At the end of running the O-course, there was a rope swing obstacle competition. A lot of guys and a couple girls too, started out, but it was narrowed down pretty quickly. In the end, it was Chris and Bryan who took the win. Chryan for the win and Bristopher for the gold! Hahaha.

After we finished at the SEAL base, we went back to North Island for our Aviation week debrief. Longest briefs of my life. It was really cool to hear from the different types of aircraft pilots though. It was pretty hard to stay awake, but I really enjoyed hearing from the female helo pilot. She graduated from the Naval Academy, went to flight school to become a helo pilot, became a test pilot for a few years, currently works for a 3 star admiral and put in a package to become an astronaut and work with NASA. Wow! What a career. I can only hope that one day, I can share my career story with a bunch of MIDN's and have mine be that exciting too.
