At 0900 Sergeant Patrick O'Harris waited by the edge of the base, at an auxiliary gate. He was told that he would be meeting one of his new squad members, and to expect them a bit after breakfast. Sergeant O'Harris was a giant of a man, standing at well over six and a half feet and roughly two hundred fifty pounds. He was decidedly Scottish, and shaved bald except for a robust mustache and thick fuzzy eyebrows, both of which were a golden blonde. He squinted as the Private came into view approached him. The Sergeant cleared his throat and looked down at his new squad member. He chuckled a bit and introduced himself, "I am Sergeant Patrick O'Harris, squad lead'r o' First squad, Alphe Platoon. I am a Scottish national an' were a member of t'e British Royal Marines." His voice was almost booming, befitting his stature. "Tell meh a bit about ye'self lad."

Joe approached the man that was to be his immediate supervisor and would be in charge of transitioning him into the SOPs of the Templars. The Sergeant was almost a full foot taller than the new member of the team, thereby causing him to crane his neck to look upwards at the man. Though this act was by no means uncommon to Joe since most people happened to be taller than him. The man had a brown head of hair parted down the center and a full goatee upon his face. His hands rested easily at the sides of his brown BDU style pants. He extended his right hand to the man for a handshake while returning the smile that had been created by the other mans chuckling.

"Joseph Imm. I doubt I qualify to be called a lad anymore. I'm not quite that spry. Three years as a radio operator for the Seventh Special Forces Group and four years as a radio operator for CAG. Got out of the Army and went to work for a communications company with plenty of government contracts. Spent most of that time training Speical Forces guys on how to use our new systems. Got hired on here to do what I do, radios. No wife, kids, or girlfriend. Though by God I hope to change that sometime soon."

As Jospeh extended his hand O'Harris reached his out as well and gripped it, shaking it firmly. He listened to what the Private had to say with great interest, and it was apparent that he cared about what he had to say. Once complete, the Sergeant chuckled a little once more and reinforced, "Well if ye need any help wit' that, I'm sure one of t'e boys would be willin' to help ye whilst on leave to London or an' other place." He kept his smile up and remained silent for a moment before switching subjects, "How'ere yer not here fer that, now are ye? Follow meh and I'll take ye to the course."

The obstacle course is two kilometers long overall, and shaped in a rough oval shape through a mostly wooded area. Spaced roughly two hundred meters apart along the path are the obstacles, with scarcely a path running between them. It looks as though the course isn’t used nearly enough to warrant well trodden dirt where others have stomped before. All of the obstructions are in sets of four, as though they were designed for four people to go at once, or rather for four groups to go at once. However, for this only one person will be going through them, and with only one grader.

The first obstacle is a series of logs held in the air, the first at a half meter, the second at a meter, and the third at a meter and a half. The second is a ‘Z’ shaped wooden bar, held roughly a foot off the ground. The third is a concrete culvert only a meter and a half wide. The fourth is a shallow dug out area with barbed wire overhead. The fifth is a trench two meters wide but only a meter and a half deep. The sixth is a rope five meters long stretched over a muddy puddle. The seventh is another culvert, the same size as the previous one. The eighth is a net vertically held four meters in the air with a small platform on top and another net on the other side. The ninth series of three walls with windows varying in size and height. The tenth and final obstacle is a two meter tall wall built into the side of a hill, that at the top of the wall is ground again.

Sergeant O'Harris didn't explain what any of it was like at all. He didn't even say how long it was. He simply brought Imm to the start of the course and said, "I'll be runnin' along side ye an' keepin' yer time. As soon as yer ready, let me know."

Objective 2: Physical Fitness.

The character must complete a two kilometer long obstacle course, navigating each obstacle before moving on to the next one. This post must be at least one paragraph long.
