Week 2 at the academy brought new challenges and meaningful lessons for our recruits. They learned about relationships with parents and discussed why those connections are important, how they shape personal growth, and practical ways to strengthen them. These conversations reminded everyone that support at home is just as valuable as the training they received at the academy.
On the physical training side, recruits faced their first PFQ (Physical Fitness Qualifier). The PFQ consists of sit ups, push ups and a mile run. This was an important milestone that tested their endurance and determination, setting the tone for the weeks ahead. They also received portions of their official PT gear.
Each step of this journey is preparing them not only for they academy but also for leadership, teamwork, and personal growth. Week 2 was a strong reminder that success is built both inside and outside the classroom.
