Took the Oath, It's Official...

their goal is to break you down and build you up...endurance is the key for PT. even if you can do more on your first pt test or two you might play it up...the road marches are hell, best way to get through them on the long ones (like 25 miles grumble grumble grumble) is to get going and start thinking about something else and distract yourself.

prior service here as well - thank you for enlisting, keep your head down and be safe. stay alert stay alive.

Of course the most important part is to enjoy the training and have fun. There is a lot I'd love to go back and do again.

Great advice Zombie, thx.

Great advice Zombie, thx.

I can't answer a ton on guard side as I went reserve but if you got any questions I may be able to help ya out. but it is a shame you no longer get the joys of polishing boots and then getting to take a trip to the sandpit....

oh another good tip learn to roll your clothes - tshirts, underwear, socks, towels, etc. and get to be proficient at making them tight and neat consistently

Oh and don't leave your locker unlocked and don't put in the combo and put it on the last number. They will check you'll have a huge mess on your hands and get powder laundry detergent not liquid. Just a fyi.

Haha I gotta ask what is the deal with no liquid detergant?

If they find lockers unlocked they will take everyones clothes and pile them up and pour liquid laundry detergent on all of your cloths. You cant mop it up it gets soapy its a hard mess to clean up. Just trust me and get powder detergent. Its a lot less of a mess and you can sweep that stuff up.
