Boot Camp Survival

Recommended Posts

Last weekend my management staff and I participated in the annual Boot Camp challenge at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego. What an experience. A 3 mile obstacle course that takes you through many of the same obstacles that the new recruits go through. Of course we did not do everything the new recruits do, but what we did tackle was difficult enough. By the end of the course we were pretty much wore out. There were 5 teams that participated from my company. We ended up coming in 3rd completing the course in 35 minutes. There were elite runners doing the course in about 18 minutes. Anyway here are a few pics from the event. Hope you enjoy.
