Alright everyone! Just because Sgt. Major Mao is gonna be laid up in the infirmary for a while doesn't mean that all you punks she was dealing with get a break! Kamille Bidan, Coop Cooplowski, Shinji Ikari, Riki Makishi, Kusuha Mizuha, Garrod Ran, Akito Tenkawa, and Kira Yamato, you'll all report to the gym at 0530 just like you have been! Any of you punks try to get away and I'll deal with you myself! Don't show up late and don't complain!

Oh, and be ready for the sims after we're done. I want to see what Dingo Egret has taught all of you.

*The very next morning, Katina arrived outside the gym at 0510 in sweatpants and tank top, with arms crossed and a sour expression. Off to the side was some sort of small truck, it's bed full of something the poor fools wouldn't recognize unless they looked in.*

*comes in on the day of the training*

Hey, I volunteered to go through utter hell with Mao's training. Don't mind if I do the same this time too?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Be my guest.

Just don't expect it to be the same training Mao's been giving you.

[messiahfist.livejournal.com]

Even tougher? Fantastic. I need to get even stronger than that, after all.

So please... push me to the breaking point.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Hey. Are you one of those guys with some sort of weird non-mech weapon? Can you run it in the sims?

[bangai-o-go.livejournal.com]

I'll show up twice as much to make up for it!

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Show up... twice as much?

Are you implying that there are times when you aren't planning to show up?!

[bangai-o-go.livejournal.com]

Of course not! I'm stepping it up from 100% to 200%!

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Try 300% and maybe we'll be getting somewhere!

*Upon seeing this, Akito simply shrugs, perfectly content with waking up an hour early in order to avoid training, as he has been doing ever since Mao started.*

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

[[Explain how getting up early allows you to avoid training please?]]

[[Unnecessarily long routes to avoid being seen by the trainer.]]

-Shinji shows up several minutes late, hardly thrilled to be present for the no doubt brutal training to come. He brightens, however, seeing Katina.-

Ah, it's you! I didn't see the training reminder until I woke up today. So Mao's in the infirmary? Thank god, I finally get a break from all those push-ups. I hope she's alright. I should see her later.

H-hey, why are you glaring at me like that? Why do I have the feeling a shitload of pain is coming my way?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Mao's fine. She'll be on her feet in a little while.

You, however, are late. You'll stay here after we're done in the sims later.

[a-young-legend.livejournal.com]

It was only a few minutes. You realize I have class to go to in like... three hours, right? I can't stay here all day.

*Garrod will be slipping out of the dorms before he's expected to wake up and making his way to the city. Now if only he'd put his skill at stealth to a more constructive use...*

[[C+P from Akito response]]

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

*When Garrod returns to his dorm later in the day, he'll be confronted by an MP on orders to question him about why he missed.*

[decidethefuture.livejournal.com]

[[Garrod's response, verbatim, is as follows: "Not in the job description. If I wanted to go through boot camp, I'd have gone all the way and signed up for the military!"]]

*shows up on time, yet certain she's going to die.*

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

*Throws Kusuha a ten pound backpack like the one she gave Shinji.*

Put it on, then get started on the routine you've been doing with Mao.

[seedwlives2spar.livejournal.com]

*Shows up early as usual. He appears to be wearing weights, though they don't seem to be hampering him in any way.*

I think I need new weights, these are getting too light for me. I think Shiro has some stashed around here for me, but I am not sure where they are. You have any idea?

Oh and a new trainer... I haven't met you have I?

*Puts out his hand to shake.*

Kira Yamato.

((I figure if he's been training with the same weights, especially after Mao, he is probably in better shape/used to them enough that he probably needs new ones at this point. Since he has been using them to train since the second session with Shiro)).

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

*Shakes Kira's hand firmly*

1stLT. Katina Tarask, subbing in for Mao while she's recovering. I've heard good things about you.

*Reaches into truck, pulls out one of the 20 pounders*

Try this. I split the weights up between 10 lbs. for the weaker guys and 20 for guys like you and Teppei.

[seedwlives2spar.livejournal.com]

*Kira looks at the weights, then puts them on alongside the weights he is already wearing. Walks around a bit, then takes the old ones off.*

These should do I think. Both sets of weights was a bit much. Its funny, but I think people get the impression that I am stronger than I am because of the Drill training.

Its not that its easy, or even that its not painful, but if its taught me anything its that attitude is very important here. Others complain and then fall over or pass out, but I actually enjoy the workout, the fact that it actually FEELs like I am accomplishing something. Push myself through it, if I pass out its gonna be because I can't work anymore, not cause I gave up!

I have a recommendation for Drill Training. Asuka Langly, the pilot of Eva02. You have probably heard of her. I think her attitude could be better which is why I am making the suggestion.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll look into it. I met her when I arrived, seemed pretty stuck up.

You've been here longer, any other suggestions? [[/filter]]

Asuka Langley Soryu, I'm adding you to the next training session!

*Kira thinks for a moment.*

...Not that immediately come to mind. But I'll mention it if I think of anyone. You should ask Shiro Amada as well. He was the one who started the Drill Training in the first place.

((DAMNIT! Messed up on the tag TWICE!))
