BDB 75.15. Definitely opened up that gap from OC

Yokohama jumped from 8th to 5th of the OC corps.

I went to Riverside, Walnut and was also in Glendale. It is an awkward pause and I've felt all three times "What are they waiting for?" Very weird. You have one hell of a point, Ryan.

From what I've seen and heard, there's not too many kids at Academy with thoughts of moving on to other corps. In fact, I believe Academy has at least one member who marched an upper corps and CAME BACk to Arizona the next year. The group is extremely well run, and the kids are happy. Everyone is in it for the long haul, far as I can tell.

I don't think that's what the OP or jake_the_hydra were talking about...

we had some fun ones. get the whole corps in a block, starting running down the streets (we were at a military base), pick up the pace, a lot, keep running, find some hills, run up those, wave the the marines as we pass them by, keep running, watch as people start to fall out, keep running, stop. do some sit ups and pushups, run back. wave to all the people from the corps who have fallen out of the block. run faster. get back to the field with half the battery, a handful of horns, two guard, and one girl left. five and a half mile full corps sprints are fun.

Not gonna lie I laughed at the Cadets one

i was a bit disappointed. the builds were good, but every hit that should of been freakin loud was a lot softer than the stuff that came before it....

sure did
