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.

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….
