It was a pretty typical transition week. We had a debrief and brief. We had a tool check in and room inspections. Friday however was exciting. Instead of our usual transition week activities we went to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. We woke up at the crack of dawn and drove up into the foothills of the rockies. It's a beautiful sprawling campus dotted with pine trees. We spent the morning doing the confidence course. It's basicly a big wooden obsacle course. There were walls to climb over, logs to balance on and ropes to swing on. It was really fun. Like a jungle gym for grown ups. :)
In the afternoon we did the teamwork training course. It was a series of puzzles that you had to solve together. One involved building a bridge to get a barrel across a river. Another had us climbing over two 5ft fences without touching them. It was neat becuase they weren't just imaginary puzzles on paper they actually had fences and barrels that we physically interacted with to solve the problems.
By the end of the day we were worn out but we were stronger physically, mentally and together as a team.
