What :
Sergeant Hoagie took us up to the traininggrounds up the roof to do some training . First he inspected our gear . Then he trained our physical condition by making us do several excercises. We started with pushups , then did situps and ended with running five laps around the arena . It was hard but the sergeant didn't gave us a moment rest and continued with the training . Next the sergeant started to hit us with a stick and we had to heal eachother , making sure nobody fell. And we did succeeded in this , which means that either we were very good at healing or the sergeant hits like a little child . Then we did some target practice . The sergeant shouted one of our names and then the others had to hit him . That was a real fun excercise except the part when they got to hit me. We ended training by a free for all round. I managed to stay on my feet till only the sergeant was left but got beaten by him . After this the sergeant ended the training and we were all dismissed. I think we all had fun but apparently it's a custom that after the training you insult the sergeant behind his back , cursing him for the hell he put you trough. I guess i stil have a lot to learn .
