RUN THE COURSE
On
the 6th of November the National Guard came to visit us in school. They
prepared an obstacle course for the health and PE classes. This year they had a
new course in which the students could have races and see who is faster to accomplish
the course. There were two officers from the National Guard who were really
nice and talked to us about many things.
They told my class that they were here to have fun and
that’s what they accomplished. I think everybody who ran the course with a
friend had a great time and also did some exercise. The National Guards told us
about themselves by the end of the period. We learned about what they were doing
during combat situations. They were medics so they had to carry everything that
would have to do with caring for injured comrades. They also wear Kevlar and
their guns and ammunition.
It’s quite impressive what they do out in the field and
they offered to tell us about training, adventure and much more, I think they
timed it really well since it was almost Veterans Day and everybody was
thinking about what they did for the country. It was a good day for everyone at
school. We learned something new and are maybe a bit more aware of our military
and the benefits it gives us.
