I was browsing the web earlier, specifically the homepage for MCRTSD, and I found that you do log drills. I already browsed the forums for a answer to what I wanted to know, and I didn't find anything--so that being said--Can anyone describe to me what a recruit does while in the log training phase of recruit training?

Any replies appreciated

Dear God in Heaven, they're still doing that cruel and inhuman form of punishment??? Actually, that is a good question. Log drills, as I remember them, involved a number of recruits picking up, toting around, bench pressing, and otherwise pt'ing with what amounts to a fat telephone pole. These drills of course build strength, however, they are more for the purpose of teaching recruits to work as a team, as well as being able to identify who isn't doing their share, so you know who needs a blanket party after lights out. It's like the SEALS with their rafts, only these will break your frickin' neck if you screw up with them.
