Shipping tomorrow

Went to get some input from my cadre about possibly recycling to the class after summer. Told him what was going on and got a pretty steadfast no, so I'll trust him and keep driving on. If after SOPC things aren't still in check I'll reevaluate things then. Excited to get the ball on the road at least and get my PT back up where it should be.
 
I imagine it's part physical (as evidenced by the cramping) and part mental. You can do it, you know you can do it, because you have done it. You know about hydration and proper rest. For the mental, don't psych yourself out, and it sounds like you are starting to do just that. Find your happy place and camp out.

Best of luck!

Roger that, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I suppose I am psyching myself out a little bit, that's what all the guys here have said. CSM here gave us a talk today about having shitty days and manning up and brushing it off and driving on. So that's what I gotta do. I know what I'm capable of, but like Louie Simmons said, it doesnt matter how strong you are if you're not that strong in competition. So gonna bust my ass to get that 300 back for when it counts and keep on with it, and if I need to reevaluate some things in order to be successful in the end, I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now I'm set on the 25m.
 
How's it going guys, got rolled back in SOPC gor land nav. First day iteration I knew where I was, just couldnt find the stake and spent the whole iteration looking for it. Second iteration was at night, and got lost as shit and walked circles for four hours until I finally stumbled upon my first point 10 minutes before endex, then got lost again on my way back. The last two iterations I did pretty well, just couldn't make up for the first two. I was slotted for SOPC again on August 7, and SFAS thereafter. Recently got severe stress fractures in both shins and got put on profile until at least August 16, so I'm gonna be waiting around here for a while it looks like. Since I can't run/ruck for the next couple months I'm gonna focus on building some strengtht back up, as well as my push/pull/sit ups. I've done lots of research around about things I could possibly do to maintain or even still improve my running/rucking ability and was wondering if anybody here would have any info/advice to offer up as you all are the professionals. For now I just plan on doing lots of rowing and time on the bike, maybe some jacobs ladder or something like that. Any other ideas gentleman? Unfortunately I dont have access to an airdyne bike or that would be my first choice
 
As well as if there's any guys wanting info on anything up until SOPC, feel free to DM me. Also at SOPC, you pretty much see every bit of selection happen step by step and most of my buddies have already been through, so I can possibly give some very limited insight into that as well, seeing as I don't actually have the first hand experience there yet

Shin splits are no joke, and if you don't take the time to heal properly, you'll get worse, quick. Rowing and biking will certainly help, and putting extra effort in the upper body strength will be a huge plus. Be mindful of diet...not rucking and running won't help with calorie consumption. It'll be easy to add a couple pounds and that will make a huge difference.

We "frown" on G2'ing any SOF courses, so tread lightly with your responses. Some books or sites may be explicit in their information, but we won't be a party to that.
