About the only thing you need to know in that school.

Drive on and don't get out of shape while you are in BAC.

Passed the RIP PT yesterday and will be starting with the next class a week from this Monday. I'll be glad to get out of hold and away from all the shitbags who either failed or quit. Damn PV2ICs.

The road march is the only thing that has me overly concerned. My short little legs make it the most difficult event for me to hang in, but we did our OSUT 12 mile in less than 3 hours so I know I can do it.

Thanks again to the Rangers, and most recently CDWDirect, for the great advice, motivation, and inspiration.

don't quit. don't run during the road march if they still aren't letting you run. stride it out, suck it up, and don't quit. road march is 90% mental. every time.

dont' fucking quit. sounds like you got it together.

Don't do anything stupid and don't fail the roadmarch. You'd have to do it all over again. Stay smart and don't do anything stupid from here on out.

exactly right, everybody is hurting and having a hard time keeping up.
Its the guys who ignore the pain (cause no matter what it will be there) and concentrate on security and the bigger mission that make it look easy.

keep driving on, good job!

...What everyone else said...thousands of us did it before you, you can too. There is no secret to doing it except for doing it. Drive on, stay positive and don't ever quit.
