Here is some garbage found on the trails. This is also the Marine Corps version of a "water buffalo" and a picture of a rope obstacle I couldn't fit thematically anywhere else. Taken today, 9/26/06.
Here are some water obstacles. No, candidates do not walk on the boards, they crawl through the mud and wade through the water. The mushrooms were nearby, sorry they don't fit thematically. Taken today, 9/26/06.
Here are some miscelaneous images from around OCS. They include the tarzan course, some junk (of course), the land nav "boxes" which you have to find--easy in the day or with moonlight, very hard without. I'm also trying larger images; with my camera I can take over 150 3456x2402 images, much bigger than you (or I) need, but you might want bigger than 600x400. These were taken today, 9/26/06.
UPDATE: So the images are 600x400... deal with it.
Today I walked around the OCS trails and took many pictures. Some of them show areas that we trained in, others just interesting details along the way. Here are a number of signs. I can guarentee you that I ran faster than 5 mph on those trails (I think my five mile time was about 40 minutes-- and I failed). These were taken today 9/26/06.
This building is an old hangar that HMX still uses for something, but not aircraft any more. It also houses the OCS gym. These were taken today, 9/24/06.
My blog is designed for the purpose of sharing my photos. I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR camera with a 18-55mm lens which I have been experimenting with everywhere I go. Click to enlarge. Feel free to copy, share or print any of these pictures. Just don't claim them as your own. Be a gentleman.
