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.*

*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)).

*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.

*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!

Guess some people must expect you to be some kind of superhero since you're a Coordinator. You've got the right attitude though, probably better than a lot of guys older than you who join voluntarily.

Now get started! You're helping me set up the simulators once you're done!

*Kira salutes.*

Yes sir!

Looks like someone here knows how things are supposed to work in the military.
