Just got home for one night. We just wrapped up week 5. Definetly not what I expected. You can memorize all the bmq tips you want and it won't take away from the experience. Tuffest part is being away from home. (for me anyway, I'm married with kids). The PT is no biggie. We've got people who can't jog there way out of a paper bag, but as long as they don't give up, OR GET HURT, they can keep on keepin on. Getting injured is my biggest worry. Shin splints can send you to Pat Platoon Purgatory. I ran into one woman who's going on almost two years on Pat.
If you're getting ready to go, make sure you can maintain a steady run for at least 5k. Yes you can squeeze by on less, but if you're body is not conditioned to the daily punishment your likelyhood of injury is a lot higher. Those who are in shape will have an easier time.
One more tip. Whether you're week 1 or week 5 make sure you keep a small pad of paper and a pen on you at all times. Your ability to remember simple directives will distinguish you from those who cannot. When you're stumbling out of bed at 4:05am, you will have a hard time remembering the list of items you are required to bring for that day. And if you screw up.......
dress parade baby!!!!
(don't know what it is? You'll find out. All 9 flights of stairs worth. All the way up, all the way down. And do it again)
Hooo ahhh
Mojo.
