Linda stripped down and joined the other children on a conveyor to be washed in lukewarm soapy water and then rinsed in an icy cold spray. A trunk at the foot of her cot held underwear, thick socks, combat boots, and a matching set of gray sweats with "LINDA-058" stenciled on the chest. ![]() Once everyone was clothed, Mendez marched them outside and had them form five rows of fifteen children each.

After the leg lifts the kids were finally given a respite in the form of water. Following the short break, Mendez ordered them to join him on a run.
