Leadership Reaction Course





So first I would have to say I wish I had started this earlier in the summer. So much has happened in the past 8 weeks! But at least I have finally started! I hope you enjoy my posts over the next 2 years. Please feel free to leave comments!
Okay enough of that let me talk about the LRC! That's me in the tube looking down at the water on the other side.
This past monday we went to an army facility in cape cod and went through their leadership reaction course. After spending the last couple of weeks in a classroom it was nice to get out for the day. If you are not familiar with the LRC, they are a set of 'obstacle' courses. You are given an objective for example : deliver this ammunition to your comrades on the other side of the mine field. You can only use what has been given to you, usually planks, rope etc. We got to work in different teams and I have to say it was alot of fun! 3 of the 8 cour
ses had water and I was petrified of getting wet. The water looked less than appealing...waist deep, murky brown and full of tadpoles. We were trying not to have anyone fall in but as you can see Diego was not that lucky! We were laughing so hard we couldn't stand on the board anymore and he fell in. Diego was a great sport about it. That was probably one of the highlights of the day :) If you ever get a chance to do something like this I would encourage you to try it. It was a great team building experience!
