<\/a>Plebe training<\/b> continued Sunday morning with the plebes attacking the Obstacle Course and Confidence Course as the final portion of the plebe training<\/i> on the LEAD Complex.\u00a0 Plebe training<\/u> is now reaching the midpoint and this past weekend was the most demanding physical trial of the training.\u00a0 Plebes negotiate a series of obstacles which are a copy of the well known obstacle courses found on every Marine Corps base.\u00a0 These obstacles are a series of low and medium hurdles, some combination bar events, an 8′ wall and finally a 24′ rope climb.\u00a0 The course challenges the upper body strength and technique of the plebes but they all\u00a0gave it their best effort.\u00a0 Improvement will come with additional training!\u00a0 Check out the photos on our Photo Gallery.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Plebe Training Tackles the Confidence Course<\/h2>\n
<\/a>The Plebe training continued with n the Confidence Course.\u00a0 This course is a much tougher challenge for the upper body strength of the plebes as well as their endurance.\u00a0 In addition this course has two events that challenge their fear of heights:\u00a0 The Highway to Heaven and The Tough One.\u00a0 The Highway to Heaven is a 24′ high giant ladder that the plebes must climb\u00a0up one side, cross over and climb back down.\u00a0 The Tough One is a high combination event that requires plebes to climb a cargo net to get on the top, cross over a series of logs, climb another cargo net to a height of 24′ and then descend down a rope.\u00a0 Although there is some hesitation on some plebes faces, they all attacked and conquered the event!<\/p>\nPlebe Training Photos and Videos<\/h3>\n
