Raheel Siddiqui's Training

Raheel Siddiqui arrived at Para Silen alongside around 4,000 other recruits. He was assigned to platoon 3,042 on Saturday March 12. Platoon is known amongst the drill instructors and recruits as Killer Kilo. Students had to jump on each other in a dog pile, then run back and forth. They were made to do hundreds of burpees, a full body exercise where they dropped to a push-up, then jumped in the air. One later told journalist to Janet Wrightman of the New York Times that he thought he would pass out.
