6 down 4 to go

Thin Blue Line

Well chalk another down for class 249. We only have 4 more weeks to go before graduation. Things are really starting to fly by now. We have already filled out for our graduation guest list and trying to all the things done prior to the coming weeks. We are getting down to the wire and things are also getting hectic. Everyone with final papers due are getting them done and with group presentations we are all meeting coordinating out our responsibilities. This week we also crossed off another challenge. This week was a 2.2 mile run with 6 stations consisting of lunge walks, bear crawls, inverted pushups, mountain climbers, burpees, and dive bomber pushups. Finished in 29.45 minutes. I think I would have rather ran the 4.2 miles it was supposed to be. Hopefully Lake Lunga Recreational area will open this week so we can get a run in on the trails before the Yellow Brick Road Run. This week also started Police Memorial Week on Saturday with several of our classmates running in the 5k memorial run near the Law Enforcement Memorial in DC. Also this weekend on Sunday we went back and participated in the Candlelight Vigil held that night. This was truly an experience that I will never forget. On the wall I found Jerry Crabtree's name. Chief Crabtree's watch ended January 29, 2010 in a car accident. Chief Crabtree was retired from Coffee County Sheriff's Department and then went to work for the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. Chief Crabtree was a NA Graduate Class #64. Chief Crabtree had over 50 years in Law Enforcement and was still a go getter when he passed. He was a good friend and great mentor. He will always be missed.
