Educators Workshop Webcast: Bayonet course puts Midwest educators as close to boot camp as you can get without getting your head shaved first

Midwest high school educators overran the bayonet assault course at Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego Tuesday. More than half of the 70 Midwest Marines Educators Workshop participants from Milwaukee and St. Louis screamed, ran, crawled, crossed rope bridges, climbed walls and bayoneted dummies amidst the sights and sounds of battle during the week-long program that makes them experts on Marine Corps basics.

Here's what it sounded like for a four-person team from Illinois and Missouri, which also seemed to have a pretty good time.

• (Team Leader) Brandon Holthausen is a guidance counselor at Hillsboro High School in Hillsboro, Mo. (south of St. Louis)
• Saeward Jones is a physical education teacher at Marion High School in Marion, Ill.
• Michelle Elwood is a guidance counselor at Marion High School
• Dave Peirce is Hillsboro High School’s Freshman at Risk teacher
