The afternoon activities consist of Drill –N- Ceremony (DNC), Physical Training (PT), and Life skills. After we finish the school program, we head down to the platoon room, where all the students get checked and stand by their desk until the students have permission to have a seat. After we have a seat we get the “Brown Bag Special” which contains a lunch of 2 sandwiches, a small bag of Teddy Grahams, an apple or an orange, and some milk. We have 30 minutes to finish eating before we head outside for DNC. After dnc 2nd or 1st platoon will go to the basketball courts to start PT; while one platoon is doing PT the other platoon is doing life skills or will have a guest speaker. After a long day of hard work and dedication we all leave at 3pm to go home.
