Placing the whistle in his mouth, Joshua Bailey blew it fiercely three times, drawing all the attention to himself.
"It’s truly unavoidable," thought Glenn, "With his presence, I bet even when he’s long gone, there will only be a few paying attention to him."
He could only forcefully shift their attention.
"Your head instructor said, let me take you for a run." Rubbing his hands together, Joshua Bailey approached with a megaphone in hand.
A group of cadets looked at him with an aura of nobility.
Even if they cowered in front of Glenn, in the presence of the Deputy Instructor, they had to hold their heads high and puff out their chests, right?
Looking at them, Joshua Bailey smiled, "From now on, morning exercises will generally follow this routine. If any of you are thinking of slacking off, I can’t control you, but those who have this idea might as well choose to leave."
This was what Joshua Bailey had said in advance.
At first, no one understood what he meant by his words.
Slacking off?
With their supervision, who would dare to slack off?
But soon enough, they all understood clearly.
"Let’s go."
Joshua Bailey waved his hand, signaling them to follow him.
It was only about 3:20 AM now, the sky was deeply dark, and the lights along the road illuminated the entire Base, allowing them to move normally at such a late hour.
First, they arrived at the playground.
Five sets of five hundred.
Twenty laps around the field.
The 400-meter obstacle course on the Training Ground, back and forth 20 times.
And this was just the beginning.
After the 400-meter obstacles were over, when many thought the morning exercises were done, some suddenly remembered what Glenn had said about "cross-country running."
Sure enough—
As soon as everyone had just taken a break, Joshua Bailey started blowing his whistle for them to gather.
Starving and exhausted, the cadets’ formation this time was clearly not as energetic as before. Not everyone was listless, but at least a small part was.
Becca Reyes was one of them.
"Do we have to run again?"
Becca Reyes, pulled into the formation by Flossie Wright, gasped for air as she asked.
Flossie gave a positive reply.
Becca Reyes felt her head spinning.
It was pure hunger!
Without anything to eat and required to do strenuous activity, it was both stingy and an attempt to improve them; she felt it was shamelessly bottomless.
"Stand straight."
Seeing Becca Reyes looking dispirited with her head lowered, Flossie glanced at her and reminded softly.
Obediently, Becca Reyes tried her best to stand up straight.
But—
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
It was indeed hard.
During Marine Corps training, she wasn’t unfamiliar with hunger, but normally, if they starved you one meal, they would feed you well the next.
Becca Reyes had never felt so defeated before.
A double torment, both physical and psychological.
Glancing sideways, Becca Reyes looked at the always composed Flossie Wright, and slowly, the feeling of defeat in her heart began to fade.
Flossie was just like her.
She hadn’t eaten but had run even more.
The burden Flossie bore was not necessarily less than hers, but on her face, there was never a sign of defeat or compromise.
Just as before.
From the cooking class to the Frogman Selection and then becoming a real Frogman, she used any rest time to improve herself.
Up until now, she had become so exceptional.
In the midst of contemplation, Joshua Bailey had already issued an order above—
