Hydration question

Post by Deus Ex Machina. »

Rangers, during the 6 mile RIP run are you allowed to hydrate while running or do you do it before you begin your run, and then no more water until you've completed or failed your objective?

It's called Pre-hydrating. Do it!

I usually ate a couple of MRE Cheese-n-crackers before going to the field. 3-4 of those and I wouldn't have to shit for a week.

Hell motrin had my stomache all fucked up anyways... Id get to about mile 5 and that would be it... TREE LINE!!! I do remember Donovan giving me Amodium (if it was called that then) but he said. "Take this... is a cork in a pill" I said "It's what Doc?" He replied.. "You want to shit yourself on the run Ranger?" I said, "hell no" Then eat this....your still here?".. I left

Shit worked great too.

I don't even know why I am answering this. Whatever.

You'll drink water the night before, and wake up a couple times in the middle of the night to piss. Then you'll get out of bed in the morning and drink a LITTLE bit of water because you don't want to be pissing yourself on a run or in formation. Once you get back from the run you'll form back up on your full 2-quarts and drink aplenty.

The point is to see if you can hack it on a 5-mile run, not to kill you via dehydration. By the time you're in RIP you will know WELL ENOUGH what the heck you are supposed to be doing to prepared for PT, and it isn't like you wont know the next day's event. A five mile run is easy compared to some of the alternatives.

Are you seriously worried about getting to drink wa-wa??

See why you were treated that way when you were new?

Each question, though new to the person asking it, has been asked time and time again, Ranger.

Funny how things come back around. :wink:
