Right before leaving for my Officer Basic Course, my unit's recruiter and I were going to take advantage of my martial arts training to put on a recruiting day for high school freshmen (and sophomores, I think) in a high school P.E. class. We spent weeks planning for every contingency we could think of. I planned to keep things to some simple harmless moves, just some minor body turns from the hips and shoulders to turn a person away, throwing them off balance.
I present the moves in the first period of the day, living every former enlisted guys dreaming of throwing a recruiter around, and we pair up to practice. Suddenly, a teacher runs up to me in a near-panic state and says, "Sir, do you want the pregnant girls to throw each other?"
Well, we weren't doing any throws, but that wasn't important. The recruiter and I look back and forth in a deer-in-the-headlights moment, and I ask, "What was that?" She repeats herself, and I quickly state that it would be OK for them not to throw each other. Watching would be just fine.
Little did I know that it wasn't a couple of girls, but like half a dozen:wideeyed::wideeyed::wideeyed::wideeyed:
We had ourselves an interesting lunch as we reviewed the morning's action.:wideeyed::yes:
