| | Each of the 75, 6-year old trainees are awakened forcefully for their first day of training. Calisthenics and a brief lesson about the Spartans at Thermopylae in ancient times make up the morning activities. Afterwards the trainees are marched to the "Playground"-An Area set up with ropes, bridges, pullys, and other devices to help one reach a bell suspended on a pole. The Trainees are split into 25 three-person teams. [[John]] successfully rings it first but fails to help his teammates ring it, losing him, [[Sam]] and [[Kelly]] dinner for the night. |
| | |
| | == 25/9/2517 == |
| | |
| | The future Spartans continue to follow the same schedule established the day before. When they arrive at the Playground they find it has been modified to be more difficult. John works with his teammates and manages to get all three to ring the bell and cross the finish line. The Spartans are taught about wolf pack tactics in the classroom. |
