Stretch and then drill work in gear all day, most of which was a spaghetti drill. Blacked out and in gear, you are given an end of hose and must follow it on hands and knees though a drenched 3 story maze and end on the same length of hose. There are numerous false hoses in there knotted up as well as 4 real sections. The hoses go up and down stairs, through scuttle holes, and through obstacles. We had to do all 4 hoses. Average time on a length of hose was 40-60 mins.

Finished with all that and I'm glad I'm done. This stuff was fatiguing as hell. Now to rest, get to a station, and start back towards CMS.
