BCT-2 and Pugil Sticks

On Monday, July 17, the BCT recruits were found down in the shade alongside the parade field conducting pugil stick training under the watchful eye of MAJ Jeff Campbell, the battalion executive officer.

Donning protective gear such as a padded vest and helmet, each recruit hefted their Pugil Stick, shouted "Hooah!" and charged one another in an attempt to both attack and defend themselves using the padded stick as a weapon.  Some recruits succeeded, others did not!

All had a good time, and learned something in the process.
