Punishment Passed Out on the 1st Day of School

Punishment Passed Out on the 1st Day of School

The first day of school brings mixed emotions for many. For the 2.0’s, it’s the anticipation of seeing old friends and the making of new ones. For the parents, it’s likely the anticipation of quiet time and/or some sense of order around the house, or perhaps it’s the anxiety that comes with trying to understand common core math homework. No FNG’s were present, so the disclaimer was announced to the group of upperclassmen and we were off with only one tardy slip needing to be passed out. The mumble chatter was strong out of the gate – definitely a sign of things to come over the next 45 min.

The first day of school brought slightly cooler morning temps and a lot of mumble chatter to The Matrix this AM.  There were lots of discussion around soccer teams and soccer seasons but the conversations quickly changed to the pain the lower extremities with the calling of Lt Dan across the parking lot.  YHC recalls hearing some concern from the PAX regarding an exercise named after a movie character with no legs, but everyone was all in to give it a try.

More grumbling could be heard when we moved across the soccer field to the pile of cinderblocks.  Poptart inspected each block for lack of ants.  He found one, but promptly handed it to McGee.  As we started the called exercises, groans of disbelief could be heard when the rep count was to reach 200 before we could move on.  No refuseniks were spotted, but YHC cannot speak to the amount of jellylubing — it did seem quite odd that some partners finished much sooner than others.  #cuttingcorners

The American football faithful had to have “pitch” defined, but those who started the morning off with soccer chatter went right to it.  More dissatisfaction was made known as soon as P2 took off across the pitch.  Apparently some did not appreciate getting their new school shoes wet when there was a “perfectly good parking lot right over there.”

Everyone completed their assignments in a timely manner and the morning drew to a close with everyone feeling like the Big Man on Campus.  It is an honor to lead such a strong and motivated group of like-minded men.  Thanks to Poptart and Squid for the opportunity.
