Please do all you can to help nifty! They allow us to be who we are. The day at the academy never seemed to end. With my sore ass and hips already bruised, I had to mentally overcome a lot on the obstacles. All of us cadets had to work together, to get through a path of pure hell we couldn't have imagined. Even military veterans on breaks, told us "this is more difficult." We had to complete different tasks too, and while adrenaline and sweat mixed, we also had to provide our now sinister instructors with the proper clue to move on. This was not what I had expected. Also it seemed the clock didn't move here. I got frustrated, and put my watch to the side. This was torture, and while I wouldn't be deterred to graduate as a police officer, some of us seemed to be on the ledge between success and failure.
We were actually supportive of each other. Yet in my group of five, I wondered if Kevin and Susan had what it took. Both also had criminal justice degrees, yet they seemed lethargic with the physical challenges. I was glad that my age of 22, height of 6'3, and slim well developed body wasn't a hindrance. Both of them reported overweight. If I had to get, Susan was less likely to drop out, as she had an incredible level of tenacity. Kevin seemed too laid back. He was a very smart guy, but he was missing out on physical tasks, and I could see cracks of failure emanating from him. It was unfortunate, but like the instructors warned us, "some of you won't make it." They were fair, but this was always in my thoughts. This academy had a reputation, and already a couple people in week two gave it up. Two wasn't enough to be noticed really, but it was a reminder that we all were expendable anytime.
While I was running, I tuned out the environment. Thinking of Brian's treatment of me after finding out my side piece made me shudder. It wasn't kind of me to sleep with Chang behind his back. The sex was riveting hot, and alcohol was partly to blame, but it caused friction between us. While the instructors kept us moving, I knew that tonight I'd text with Brian some. It was time to restore the love, trust, and passion that we so desperately enjoyed. He was adorable and so petite. So handsome.
