Sgt Brown would have us all do like 30 pushups (he did them also), then afterwards he'd leave us in the "front leaning rest position" like the pic at top right. Eventually, some recruit would collapse and fall flat on his face. At this point Sgt Brown would look out at the field of 300 men, and say "I see a trainee SLEEPING!! Ready ... Exercise .. One, Two, Three, Four .. and we would do 30 more! He was one tough customer! We generally tried to keep out of his way. In the mess hall we were not allowed to talk. If Sgt Brown heard anything he would spring from his table in a rage, grab the miscreant by the back of his collar, pull him from his seat , and physically throw him out the door. He never let up. The other Drill Sgts generally quit playing their games while we were eating. Not Sgt Brown.

Thirty-six men and women take the first steps to becoming Maryland Natural Resources Police officers when they were sworn in as the agency's 59th basic recruit class.
This class is the largest in the department's history and is beginning its basic training as the agency celebrates its 150th anniversary.
The more than seven-month curriculum covers basic police policies and procedures, with additional emphasis on conservation law enforcement. Classroom instruction is held at the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Center in Sykesville. Recruits receive additional training in the field, on state waters, in courtrooms and in specialized settings.
Natural Resources Police officers have the same authority as Maryland State Police troopers.
