With Pride We Need, Sixpacks

Resistance is Fertile

Amidst,
Endless torrents of angry shouting
Stern faces and a grave warning.

Amidst,
Order, order says the dude beside
As timmy in front goes on backslide.

Amidst,
Their faces straight, though their minds are not
A resentful past, not to be forgot.

There are chuckles and laughter, hearty and loud,
from the back, and futility dies.

Credits to Shaun for the title, which as he described it, came to him "as if God reached out from the Heavens with a hand and put in in his head." Specialist training has been rather tough so far, with the many canteen breaks, afternoon naps and jogging on the spot that we have to go through. At least that's for the first week. Not expecting a status quo though.
