Chapter 65: CPR
"You prepared for it well, huh?" Trish said open-mouthed, totally in awe as she watched Keira.
"She has practiced for weeks before the exam since she sucked at it so much at first," whispered May as they watched how Keira was doing pull-ups gracefully and without too much effort.
Their first week was focused on physical training, road marches, confidence building, and formation marching.
Every morning, they did so many exercises, like push-ups, sit-ups and more that Keira felt really tired.
It was true that her body was fragile. Though she managed the hard training, she knew her capacity. She would soon fall if she continued beyond her limit.
"Soldiers! We are still on the First Phase of your training where discipline, values, and teamwork are the main focus. In the next days, you will receive briefings on basic first aid, sexual harassment, assault awareness, and prevention programs! Understand?" explained Sergeant Cole that made Keira almost jump of joy for no reason.
"Aye, Sergeant!" Shouted Keira’s unit in chorus.
Her mind was already working on how she could seize the opportunity during the next programs because Zach was not often present at the previous activities.
The next day, all the recruits, both men and women were called in the big meeting room for the basic first aid program.
"This is good, but when are they going to teach us CPR?" May asked excitedly that made Lana cough.
"I will volunteer, you know if the acting patient is the Falcon or a handsome soldier," said May mischievously. She saw the CPR procedure on videos only but not in live action so she was anticipating how things were really done.
