The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps works out for physical training every Friday, but Oct. 16 was a much different physical training.

The U.S. Army recruiters joined their workout.

From pushups to sit-ups, to balance and running exercises, all of the workouts were team based and needed leadership for them to work properly.

“The push-ups were the best part because it made my team stand out, being that we did 327 of them,” senior Bryan Homechanh-Nguyen said.

One of the exercises they performed was a set of 25 pushups, put the stretcher into place then carry a cadet 100 yards as fast as possible.

“This part was hardest because carrying someone took four people and we had to work together or we would drop [the person] off before we meant to,” Homechanh-Nguyen said.

Although the training was hard, everyone participated and worked together with the guidance of the Army recruiters.

“The training was a good way to build friendship, and bonds with the recruiters and the cadets with each other,” Sergeant Lisa Breuer said.
