Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois educators experience boot camp this week, so tune in to our webcast channel starting tomorrow night for their thoughts as the week progresses!
Our educators sponsored by #MidwestMarines recruiting stations in Milwaukee and St. Louis made it safely San Diego today to experience Marine Corps boot camp first hand this week with the Midwest Marines Educators Workshop. Nobody looked disappointed to leave the ice and snow for 65-degree evening temperatures, but Bode Miller’s gold and the US hockey victory over Canada last night didn’t hurt the mood either.
We had a banquet tonight and got to know each other a bit before a full week of long days starts tomorrow exactly where it starts for recruits: on the infamous yellow footprints under the hot breath of a new “guidance counselor.”
I spoke briefly with a couple of educators tonight about their expectations for the week, and they both seemed up to the challenge:
- Michael Rupnow, the activities director at Case High School in Racine, Wis., is here with his wife Julie, who is a physical education teacher and department chair at Washington Park High School, also in Racine.
- Bruce Rundman, is a guidance counselor at Baraga High School in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula city of Baraga.
