00:00.303 --> 00:03.303
(suspenseful music)

00:27.042 --> 00:29.254
- Today Recruiting Station Houston executed

00:29.290 --> 00:30.793
our annual pool function.

00:31.410 --> 00:35.840
Approximately 474 poolees who are waiting to go to Boot Camp

00:35.840 --> 00:38.550
^that are in the delayed entry program, came together

00:38.550 --> 00:41.763
^to conduct a series of events and activities.

00:43.470 --> 00:46.150
The 880 meter run, and then a pull-up contest.

00:46.150 --> 00:48.920
They did crunches, they did wheelbarrow races.

00:48.920 --> 00:53.750
They did some stuff that was not only physically exhausting

00:53.750 --> 00:55.970
for them, but it was something fun for them as well.

00:55.970 --> 00:57.570
Fun for their families to watch.

00:57.760 --> 00:59.890
(shouting)

00:59.890 --> 01:01.340
Mental preparation of everything.

01:01.340 --> 01:02.980
As they come together for this

01:03.870 --> 01:05.440
there's been a lot of hype up to it,

01:05.440 --> 01:07.350
lot of different recruiting substations

01:07.350 --> 01:08.520
trying to compete with one another,

01:08.520 --> 01:09.820
trying to win a championship.

01:09.820 --> 01:13.070
We have 14 recruiting substations all trying to win

01:14.010 --> 01:15.403
the annual pool function every year.

01:15.403 --> 01:17.653
(shouting)

01:18.290 --> 01:20.870
^- Competing out here today, I can actually see

01:20.870 --> 01:23.333
^what I need to improve on in each event.

01:23.760 --> 01:25.683
What are my weakness and strengths.

01:28.950 --> 01:32.450
I love being here, especially having that little moment

01:32.450 --> 01:35.223
when the DI was just kind of screaming at me,

01:35.450 --> 01:37.933
telling me to run back and forth.

01:38.852 --> 01:41.600
It gave me a little taste of how they're going to be

01:41.600 --> 01:42.433
at Boot Camp.
