Training Day

Markus sighed in exasperation. A group of recruits laid across the ground, exhausted. The Commodore had been asked to help out with the training of the new recruits, while the regular instructor was out on vacation. Of course, Markus didn't really know how to train recruits, so he had made them do vigorous physical exercise.

The bright sun didn't help the recruits in that regard, only making it hotter and more difficult for them. The winds blew calmly, occasionally cooling them off, but it wasn't enough. "Alright," Markus began. "Get back to it! Run some more laps!" he ordered. The recruits groaned as they got to their feet and began to run around the track, not wanting to defy the Commodore.
