Day FOUR...OUCH.

So...on Tuesday, we spent all day learning the casket sequence.

Wednesday, we learned the six-man flag fold.

Today, we put it all together.

Over...

and over...

and OVER!

ALL DAY!

My arms ache, my shoulders ache, my hands are cramped from holding the flag in a death grip...

Oh yeah...we also learned how to deal with 'surprise' conditions, like obstacles in your route, carrying the coffin from the hearse to the grave site. Yeah. Know what we do? Raise the coffin UP, over the obstacles...so we walked all around the interior of the gym with the coffin at shoulder height.

No...no no no...NOT actually ON our shoulders...at shoulder HEIGHT.

OW!!!!

OW!!!!

I hurt.
