He congratulations!
I was wondering if you could clear up the ‘bucket leave’ question (different thread) between OCS and TBS. When are you allowed to leave and when do you need to return.
What was your BDR like. How much sleep time did you get (6-7 hours a night)?
Good luck at TBS!

as far as leave, you are allowed to go up to 15 days "in the hole", which means negative leave balance, and you accrue 8 days while at OCS, so you can take a maximum of 23 days after OCS, which of course most guys do. The basket leave option was eliminated pretty recently I think. Sleep- dont plan on more than about 5 hours a night. ESPECIALLY in the first few weeks. I remember the first couple weeks getting like 3 hours a night, and just being dead tired all the time. Towards the middle and end of the cycle, you get more sleep though. honestly, lack of sleep wont be too much of a problem. you stay so busy, the only time you actually notice how tired you are is during classes. classroom 3 was ridiculous for staying awake, all you 2nd LT's out there know exactly what Im talking about.
Also, I was in 3rd platoon. we couldnt drill worth ****, got our asses handed to us in pugil sticks, but we DOMINATED tug of war.

Yeah, the sleep is no joke. I have fallen asleep in class, outside, writing notes, in mid conversation, standing, and marching. Its insane, but you just get used to being tired ALL the time!!
Yeah, 4th platoon dominated the PT events. Pugil stick champs, should have won the log race (ripped on that by nasty 3rd ;-) ), and DOMINATED the field day (Won 5 out of 7 or so). But yeah, 3rd tore us up on the tug of war.
Whats your last name Lucky? Anyone else back?

I think 320 or something showed up... 23 knocked out at inprocessing for medical or pft reasons. 297 started training, 223 graduated. In my platoon there were 20+ priors (about 1/3rd). They all graduated. I think the only priors who got dropped were due to injuries early on in the training.
