Long-distance swimming training
The first year of the National Defense Academy will conduct long-distance swimming training from June to July.
Eventually, you will improve your swimming ability so that you can swim 4km in Tokyo Bay.
On the other hand, some National Defense Academy students are from Hokkaido, and some are hammered.
During the training period, I keep swimming in the pool almost every day, and for a long time, for about an hour.
After that, training in the sea is carried out step by step.
National Defense Academy long-distance swimming training is held in "Tokyo Bay".
The water was very dirty and the pores were black after training.
What impressed me was that when I first swam offshore, several of the same people who were originally able to swim were drowning.
The pool and the sea are different.
Some people can't resist the fear once they drown.
(It means that it will not come off in the sea)
Long-distance swimming production. Apply petrolatum throughout the body to prevent a drop in body temperature.
Anyway, keep up with the person in front of you and keep swimming.
On the way, the right foot, left hand, left hand, right foot, and limbs hang alternately.
I managed to keep swimming by moving the moving parts.
There were jellyfish and fish in the sea, I didn't know what was there, and I was afraid of being bitten by jellyfish.
There are several breaks along the way.
Treading water during the break.
The instructor throws a hardtack and the like to feed the goldfish.
If you still don't eat it, you won't have the physical strength and temperature, so eat it.
It takes about 5 hours to swim while ignoring the screams of the limbs and depriving the body of body temperature.
Finally I could see the original sandy beach. When I went up to the beach, I wasn't able to walk on two legs, so
All go up to the land by walking on four legs. It must have been a strange sight.
After swimming for a month, they all looked like black people.
I always wear goggles, so only my eyes are white reverse pandas.
Even those who were hammered a month ago were swimming 4km with step-by-step training.
Personnel announcement
Land, sea and air personnel will be announced at the end of the first grade.
It is popular in the order of sky> land> sea, and it will not change even now.
It is no exaggeration to say that the future will be decided.
Some of those who didn't go according to their wishes were in sync with crying on the spot.
Cutter training
When you reach the second grade, your battalion is shuffled.
This is because the battalion is divided by department.
The biggest challenge for National Defense Academy students is the cutter competition held in April.
Each company launches one ship and competes with 12 ships.
This cutter training is divided into sea and land. Not everyone can train on board
In other words, just because you're out of defense doesn't mean you've ever rowed a cutter.
During this period, 3rd and 4th graders will also be instructed.
It's really hard if you don't get used to rowing a boat.
I remember that I wasn't studying because I trained from the morning until after the lights were turned off.
Senior student training
Compared to the training of the first grader, the training of the second grader is considerably stricter.
I don't know the contents of the sea and air training, but the land seemed to be the most difficult.
It is common for 2 to 4 years, but I travel to Hokkaido and other units nationwide for training.
The training for 3 or 4 years, such as basic training, offense / defense, march-avant-garde team, was quite strict.
Even in the National Defense Academy training, there was something like a squeeze as a collective responsibility for land personnel.
In particular, my team was a ranger, so as soon as something went wrong, I did push-ups and reflected on ranger squats.
However, even if I did it, it was about 200 times, and it was not done continuously, so it was kinder than the students.
