Exciting News!!!

Next Wednesday, August 11, the Commanding Officers from the Army, Air Force and Marines will be on campus to discuss program opportunities, partnerships, and scholarships. I will keep everyone posted on the results.

We have been donated all kinds of great workout obsticles. The Marine Reserve unit of Charlotte supervises a mud-run each year and have graciously allowed us full use of their obsticles. (walls, ramps, jumps, obsticle course, etc).

Here is what we need:
1. people to man the orientation table on Monday the 23rd (the Officers above will be present as well).
2. people to man "pulling" all the obsticle equipment to one place so we may design our course for the fall.

Have a great remainder of your summer!

New this fall!

This fall, we are hosting a total of 24 ROTC/PLC students. This means that we are going to be busy. I will introduce each of the new members to the group as the school year starts.

We need volunteers to man the orientation table. So, if any of you will be here then please volunteer to man the table by emailing Mr. Turner at thomasturner@bac.edu

There will be workouts (PT) 4 days per week. On Mondays and Thursdays we will have Cardio and endurance training (push-ups, sit-ups, Jax, crawls, pull-ups, drill, and falls.)

On Tuesdays and Fridays we will have cardio, weight training, and swimming.

The YMCA has reserved the pool for an hour each of those days so we can have swim instruction. You will have to be able to tread for 15 minutes, swim continuously for 15 minutes and complete full laps. Also, we will have floating exercises, rescue training, and water exercises.

The Navy Reserve unit is working out a plan to have the Delayed Enlisted participate in these PT exercises.

See you all soon!
