Happy Long Weekend!

PGMA declared Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 as special (non-working) days. Now everyone is scrambling to go places. Some did a halloween climb at Cristobal, others went to Sagada, and then some to Puerto Galera. Where did you go?

This 3-Day event includes Fun Run (around the campus) on Wednesday Nov 13, Aquathon (UP Pool, Acad Oval) on Saturday Nov 16, and Triathlon (UP Pool, Acad Oval) on Sunday Nov 17. Victory party follows on Nov 17, 7pm.

October 2002

Make-up for the Quizzes

October 2 was the last chance for the trainees to get a PASSING mark on their quizzes. Seems the results were so hush-hush, the training com won't even allow members to see the checked test papers. Incidentally, this is also our last day at Valero Car Park.

Skills Test Take II

Only a handful passed the quizzicles, and only 11 passed all the Skills test. Now everybody is going to have to retake a test or two on October 5, 2002. You are required to pass ALL requirements before you are eligible to be inducted.

1st 15km Qualifying Run on October 6, 2002

After 2 recons of the 15km Qualifying run at UPLB, and 1 trial run at Makati, can the trainees make it in less than 2 hours?

September 2002

3rd Training Climb on August 31-September 2

We're beyond the halfway point of our 2002 Training Season, and the trainees still don't know each other! How much more for the names of the members?

3 groups Tumambay lang sa Outdoor Rock Climbing!

Almost 6:00am na naka-alis ang mga trainees sa McDonalds St. Francis Square mula sa usapang 5:30am.

Rain or Shine, tuloy pa rin!

Trainees learned basic ropemanship and overcame their fear of going down from the side of a building in the Rappeling Training at Camp Vicente Lim in Canlubang, Laguna last September 8.

First Aid, Second take

More than 1/3 of the trainees are taking their First Aid Training outside the original schedule.
