Bootcamp Challenge 2006


My wife and some friends recently particpated in the Bootcamp Challenge at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. It’s a 3-mile race with obstacles and Marine Corps drill instructors providing verbal motivation. Thousands turned out for the race. Take a look at the DI above (blue shirt) giving race participants a littany of reasons why they should get off his obstacle.

That fellow looks like incentive to vacate!

That looks like fun…..would have killed me, no doubt about it (there’s that whole aversion to running LOL!!)….but looks like fun!! *grin*

What a fun day, looks like his reasons were good enough :o)

I remeber that DI telling me to get off his obstacle so…I did not linger and jumped over it…great day had lots of fun…my team finshed 34/80…not to bad for an old guy and four women. Looking forward to 07 and a stronger finish.
See you there.

oh…BTW the traffic was a mess….MCRD will need to fix that in 07.

Wow! I LOVED Bootcamp Challenge - glad you and yours were there too!!

A team of us Marine Moms participated to raise funds for our care package project… We raised the funds and had an outstanding time in the process!!

Your random thoughts as a Marine home from deployment are just as important and interesting as your thoughts as a deployed Marine. As a Mom I appreciate them and wish you and yours only the best….
