Chapter 108 New Stage
,
Basic training for recruits has five main contents, namely queue and discipline education, which accounts for the largest proportion, followed by weapon use and shooting training, tactical training, military knowledge training, and physical training.
Logically speaking, queue and discipline training can be left out, because Gao Guang and Mike are both PMs and not soldiers. However, Thompson still added this item to them, and the proportion was even greater.
The other items, those with high optics, are very easy. The use of weapons is nothing more than dismantling, cleaning and shooting. Tactical training is very useful, but there are only a few tactical trainings for recruits, which are also very simple. As for military knowledge training, this is very useful.
It's a bit difficult for Mike, but for Gao Guang, he thinks this is the easiest and most enjoyable training content, because for a military fan, learning military knowledge is a kind of enjoyment.
As for physical training, it can be said that there is basically no need for it.
Mike's physical fitness, physical reserves, and the intensity of his physical training in the rugby team were all higher than those of recruits. According to the US military's physical training level and assessment standards, Mike got full marks in everything.
As for Gao Guang, his physical fitness is of course far worse than Mike's. He is lighter in weight and less powerful, but he still has no problem completing Thompson's requirements.
It's like standing under the scorching sun for an hour. Gao Guang just wants to say that's it? It's not as good as his level during military training in college.
The highest temperature at noon was only 31-2 degrees Celsius. The ultraviolet rays were quite strong, but it wasn't that hot. And standing for just one hour a day was trivial and too relaxing.
The only thing that shows Thompson's strictness is that he has very high requirements for the completion of every basic movement. There can be no mistakes, such as lying down. After he shouted the word "lying down" at any time, Gao Guang and Mike did not care what they were doing.
Whatever you do, you must lie down immediately with standard movements as quickly as possible. If you don't meet his requirements, you will be in trouble.
"Lie down."
Gao Guang and Mike fell down at the same time, in no particular order.
On the flat and smooth ground, Mike and Mike lay down instantly under the scorching sun, while Thompson, who was hiding in the shadows in front of him, said easily: "Stand up."
Gao Guang and Mike immediately stood up and stood up straight.
It's very monotonous and boring. I've been doing this every day since I started training for two weeks. There's really nothing to say.
Thompson smiled. Of course he always smiled, but now he smiled more obviously.
"Congratulations, you have successfully completed the training content of the red phase. From now on, you will enter the white phase."
The training is divided into three stages, red, white, and blue. The red stage is for training individual basic combat skills, cultivating team spirit, and physical training.
There are only a few basic personal combat skills, and there is nothing to practice in team spirit, just Gao Guang and Mike. As for physical training, they can skip it, and then the familiarity and use of weapons, let's put it this way, are just trivial.
The guns and highlights can be disassembled and assembled with eyes closed.
But the red phase ends in two weeks, which is a bit fast.
When it reaches the white stage, it begins to learn basic combat techniques in depth, and also begins to emphasize the proficiency of weapons. The intensity of physical training begins to increase. In addition, Thompson will reduce the direct management of Gao Guang and Mike, allowing them to build more
Develop a sense of responsibility, and cultivate the ability to manage others and the awareness of self-management.
Whether a new recruit can grow into the backbone of the army and become a junior officer commanding at the grassroots level can basically be seen in this white stage.
Thompson picked up the folder, opened it, and said with a smile: "We will start strengthening weapons training this afternoon. Mad Dog, you can shoot live ammunition. I will check your skills in using all guns. Mike, you must also strengthen the use of weapons and
Training, for this period of time, I have been thinking about what weapon you should use, and the final decision will be based on your performance."
Mike said loudly: "Yes, instructor, instructor, please ask a question."
"Questions allowed."
"I would like to know……"
Mike raised his head, rubbed his neck, and stood upright with his hands pressed against the seam of his trousers. But while he was talking, one of his legs suddenly kicked Thompson's ankle hard.
I don’t know how old Thompson is exactly, but he should be quite old, but Thompson’s reaction and speed are really faster than Mike.
Mike silently went to kick Thompson's leg, but Thompson did not dodge or retreat. Instead, he ducked to the right and moved forward, allowing Mike's kick to brush against his calf. Then he bent his knee and hit him hard with his knee.
It hit Mike hard on the lower abdomen.
Mike was too tall, so Thompson jumped slightly and hit him with a knee. Then, Mike lay on the ground holding his stomach.
"Not bad!" Thompson stood there, holding an open folder in his left hand and a pencil in his right hand. He said in surprise: "You have learned how to sneak attack."
Mike almost vomited. His mouth opened and closed, which reminded Gao Guang of the fish that was thrown onto the shore.
Thompson looked at Gao Guang and said with a smile: "She is making rapid progress, what do you think?"
Gao Guang said without hesitation: "Yes, instructor."
Thompson looked at the still twisted Mike, smacked his lips, and said: "The ability to resist blows is too poor, you have to increase your body fat rate, first increase your body fat to 10%, you can see the level of subcutaneous fat.
"
Gao Guang didn't fire his gun in the past two weeks, but Mike was beaten every day. But now Gao Guang discovered that being beaten by Thompson was actually a great achievement.
Gao Guang always felt that if Thompson attacked him, he would probably have to lie down for half a month, but Mike always lay down for at most an hour before getting up. What did this mean? It meant that Thompson was extremely accurate.
Otherwise, why not practice fighting with Thompson?
Mike lay on his back and hummed: "I understand, gain weight, thank you..."
Mike needs to gain weight. His body fat percentage is too low and he has no fat on his body. However, having a body fat percentage that is too low is not always a benefit, at least not for fighting.
It's hard to lose weight and it's hard to gain weight.
Gao Guang also needs to gain weight. He is a little over 1.8 meters tall and only weighs 120 kilograms, which is almost 130 pounds. This figure is destined to have poor resistance to blows and poor strength. At least compared to
For those guys in the training camp who are big, round, or muscular, his strength is really very poor.
Thompson closed the folder with an expressionless face, and said to Gao Guang: "You have gained weight, but only four pounds. What, did the food in the training camp make you lose your appetite?"
What is supposed to come will definitely come. Thompson immediately talked about the highlights, and then he was right about one thing, that is, the food in the training camp is really terrible.
"Yes, instructor."
Gao Guang answered Thompson's question without hesitation, and then he said seriously: "I have tried my best to eat more."
Thompson frowned and said, "Isn't there a nutritionist who can give you a recipe?"
The $150,000 is not free.
As long as Thompson makes a request, the nutritionist will prepare a recipe for Gao Guang, and the training camp canteen will cook according to the recipe. All Gao Guang has to do is finish the food.
"Yes, I have eaten the food prescribed by the nutritionist and taken in enough calories, but I have not gained significant weight."
Thompson said without hesitation: "That's because the nutritionist's level is not good. He did not take into account the differences between races, nor the differences in eating habits in different regions. The intestinal flora of Asians is different from that of people in the Americas."
The difference is, if he formulates a recipe for you based on universal rules, the effect will be much worse."
Gao Guang looked at Thompson in surprise, and Mike couldn't help but groan.
Thompson said to Mike: "You continue to eat according to the nutritionist's recipe, and you, I will make a recipe for you, are you Chinese?"
"Yes."
"Southerners or northerners?"
Gao Guang looked at Thompson in surprise, and Thompson said calmly: "People in the south eat rice as their main food, and people in the north eat pasta as their main food, but people in the Northeast are different. Their intake of rice and pasta is balanced.
Excluding individual differences, the food needs of the north and the south are different, and the efficiency of intestinal flora is different, so tell me whether you are a southerner or a northerner."
"Uh, uh, northerners eat noodles as well as rice. They seem to be pretty much the same."
"Then a fattening meal based on meat and fat will be less effective. You need to increase carbohydrates."
Thompson opened the folder and made a few notes, then he nodded and said, "Okay, I will make a recipe for you and give it to the training camp restaurant. The goal is to gain ten pounds in the next week."
"Why does the instructor still work part-time as a nutritionist?"
Gao Guang was really just curious and surprised, but Thompson smiled slightly and said: "Not only is he a nutritionist, but the instructor also works part-time as a psychiatrist."
Looking at Mike who was still lying on the ground, Thompson smiled and said, "What did you learn from today's lesson?"
Mike's stomach no longer hurts so much, so his curled body has been spread out, completely lying on the ground, and he said with a look of despair: "I don't want to be a fighting star anymore, I don't have that talent..."
"No, you are very talented. You have learned how to sneak attack."
Thompson knelt down on one knee, looked at Mike with a sincere face and said: "You have made great progress, your ability to fight has improved a lot. From today on, you can learn fighting skills. Don't give up. Believe me, you will soon
Then you can master the essence of fighting."
Mike sighed quietly, and said with a doubtful look on his face: "Really? You don't want to hit me, you just want to continue to torture me, right?"
Thompson said very seriously: "I take every one of my students seriously. You are really talented and have potential. I am very optimistic about you becoming a star. Don't give up. You can do it! You will definitely do it!"
I don't know if the 150,000 dollars is worth it, but when Gao Guang looks at Thompson, he can't help but recall what he did when he fooled Mike. Anyway, it's pretty much the same.
But the effect was really good. As soon as he heard the word star, Mike immediately became energetic. The frustration he had suffered for many days was wiped away. He struggled to sit up and said with determination: "Okay, wait for me.
I will definitely, definitely start learning fighting skills...thank you instructor!"
Thompson seemed unable to understand what Mike was saying. He nodded with satisfaction, then suddenly looked at Gao Guang and said: "You haven't trained much for fighting. I think as a PM, fighting is still very important. To
Otherwise, how about you add some fighting training?"
Fighting is indeed useful. Since Thompson made the invitation, Gao Guang didn't hesitate much and said directly: "Yes, instructor, I am willing to increase fighting training."
