On Monday the entire NCCC campus went to an Air Force base in Colorado Springs to do obstacle course team building stuff. We started out on the obstacle course, which was much harder than I expected. I don't know why I expected it to be easy, since it is part of training for Air Force members. We had to roll over logs and jump walls and lift ourselves up and over and under things. We all have very sore muscles today, but it was fun.
The second half of the day we did problem solving where we were put in simulation pods and given tasks to complete. There would be places we couldn't touch and certain tools we had to use to get our team over a 12 foot wall, for example. It was pretty hard, but our team seemed good at coming up with solutions, which usually involved starting with the smallest member of our team crawling up the back of the biggest member of our team (our team leader) and then going from there.
We came back home sore and tired, but I think we were pretty satisfied with what we did. Here are some pictures from the past two posts...

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteJust read thru your blog. Not as exciting as Kenya, but I am glad you are here rather than there!! Sound like you are kept busy.
Any feel for what may be your first real 'duty station' for sure??
Hope all is going well. Just wanted to say Howdy!
Love,
Pop
I hope you are getting "strong like bunny" with all this military training, since we're saving all our heavy lifting for when you come home.
