The log drill exercise requires recruits to work together carrying a log in a lap, stopping to perform exercises. The exercises are done in synch, moving the log together while recruits execute squats, presses, curls, side dips, and more. While moving the log, recruits communicate how fast or slow to march, where to turn, and when to move the log to the opposite shoulder. This exercise teaches recruits how to work as a group, and how to communicate under stress. These are important skills to learn before graduating and moving on into the Marine Corps.
