Actually it was about 2 minutes, but I'm impressed that you appear to have learned the cardinal numbers. Keep it up yourself - maybe you'll move up to double digits or even multiplication tables!
One can only hope. :icon_tong

General Qs
Ok, I've been to OCS and I'M GOING BACK
But I have some questions from prior experience
1. I've started to run in my boots (both pair) and the ICB are hurting my knees. They are my crap pair I do stuff like the Quigley in. Should I continue to get them to a point where I wont blister as easily in them? I dont run on concrete either. And its more discomfort than pain. Suggestions? Comments? Rude remarks?
2. The long humps (last two) during Jrs rubber my legs raw, more so Sule I. The question is, can... no should I take underarmour, tight fitting spandex (olive green of course) for the sole purpose of the humps?
3. Any suggestions for avoiding blisters. My feet held up well last time, they blistered twice, but each time I was numb to the pain
Would under armor-type socks help reduce the point-friction due to the boots rubbing?
4. My only REAL problem, physically, was I developed DEEP SET corn type blisters on my feet. Physically it felt like my skin had been cut open, a piece of corb or marble was placed a cm or two in, and it was the sealed shut. It was like walking on rocks attached under my skin. Typically formed on my heels, occasionally on the front pads of my feet. Any advice for avoiding this?
5. Last time at OCS I never left base because the process was one more thing to think about. So what is outside of Q-Town? lol...
6. Is the entry test still in place for returning Srs? If so, I will be needing to devote MORE time to OCS Study material.
7. Anyone know where I can get a CD with some run cadences on it so I can lead more runs... I remember the poor sap that was always first to lead our squad runs SIMPLY because he knew alot of cadence due to knowing a prior service member...
8 I retained much of my small and large bag issues, what gear should I take back to OCS with me? How many pairs of boot socks, running socks, skivvies, ect should I take? Should I buy some more pt shirts?My old stencil is salvageable, should I laminate it and take that?
9. Where can I get some of that NEAR PERMANENT ink they give you in the bag issues... I marked one shirt with it and it was the only one that didn't fade.
I cannot wait! I report date for 1st INCR PLC is May 27. I've already purchased running shoes that i will run about 10 miles in prior to gettin on that plane to go to OCS. I kind of got a handle on all my personal trash and what I'm gonna take and preventing injury, I just need some more light to be shed on some of this... PLEASE add anyting extra you think will help.
I'm running 23 minute 3 mile in my boots with strep throat and an upper respiratory infection... im keeping the miles low to maintain a state of readiness... any suggestions to avoid makin it worse aside from "stop." You get sick at OCS, its no different now... Would my previous staff advice of "eat an orange, drink some water, and run 5 miles to cure anything" work? lol
thanks
3 months and 22 days... 81 days b/c february is so short...

Ill try to help you ... personal opinions, others might say something different
1) dont run in your boots, you will beat your body up too much (as you have already started to) Run in running shoes
2) if you think it will work, you can try to use it. The staff might not allow it, but who knows.
3) I would wear a pair of either ankle socks under my normal boot socks or a pair of dress-type socks under them. Its seemed to help me
4) i have no idea
5) civilization. Get out and get a hotel room with some of the guys. Get a good meal and a beer. It will make a world of difference (oh yeah, and sleep)
6) i was a 10-weeker
7) you can download them from the internet, do a google search or search whichever downloading site you use. They do have CDs you can buy if you want ... once again, google it.
8) sorry, you are gonna have to ask a PLCer
9) id imagine any office depot or office store should have any marker you need
Hopfully that helps some. Others will have their own advice Im sure. Good luck.
