OCS update

[kb2012]

Not sure if you guys care since I'm not very active here or close with any of you, but I'm posting an update from Marine Corps OCS. I'm loving it here. I'm keeping myself above standards and I've been taking in all the information I'm learning here. I appreciate all of the information you gentlemen have posted as well as the tips you gave me for cold weather training. It's week 6 now (starting Monday), and I couldn't feel more confident here. It's a wonderful feeling finally making it here and I couldn't be more appreciative. Thanks you all.

Keep it up and drive on....

Personally, I like the updates. Keep them coming!

Thank you for the support gentlemen! In 4 weeks I'll be proud to join the ranks with you all.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. It helps those who follow behind you. Glad to hear you're doing so well!

Just finished week 7. My grades are good and I'm feeling healthy. We have a 9 mile hump this week so that's the hardest physically we've had so far. My feet are doing well on humps so far so I have no worries. Only 3 more weeks to go before I graduate!

Nine miles is nuthin. Really. You'll make it just fine. You'll have to do 15-20 sometimes when you hit the Fleet (if your infantry.)

Yeah it wasn't that bad. Afterwards we had an exercise where we ended up hiking 20 more miles with an assault pack. All in all an 18 hour day of hiking and conducting field exercises. My feet were screwed afterwards but they're fine now. All of our graded events are done so we just have one more week of TBS prep and out processing. In two weeks I'll be a Lieutenant!
