So at PLC this summer what types of things can we expect to be doing, I know a lot of PFT and basic history courses, but do we get to shoot an M16 or do anything that exciting, or is it mostly mental preparation.

Juniors or Seniors?
You'll be spending a lot of time PT'ing in the woods, and expect to spend some time in the field - at a minimum, conditioning hikes, fire team maneuver, and land navigation. You'll shoot blanks through the M16 during fire team maneuver, but no marksmanship.

Sorry...You'll be doing nothing fun.

i dunno about everyone else but when our lights went out everyone was awake and going nuts. I'd fall asleep and my fireteam would beat me with pillows, people would be messing around in the head, you can hear the click of moon beams turn on as soon as firewatch hits the lights out. It's kind of fun then...till someone gets caught.
People, including yourself, will be doing stuff after lights some nights. During Jrs, I never really stayed awake after lights. If you are awake in class, and take notes on the ELO's and TLO's (which helped me stay awake) you shouldn't need to study after lights out.
Seniors was another story. There just wasn't time to do everything during the day. If you have essays, or want to write home, it's getting done after lights. Word can also change after lights out and you may find yourself repacking for a hump, remarking gear, prepping a fresh PT shirt, etc. You have NO free time at seniors excpet for rack time and libo. However, all this being said...sleep as much as possible.
You will be issued your M-16 after pick-up. Usually the next day. It's nothing to be excited about...it's just one more thing to carry.

How does one go about "prepping" a fresh shirt for PT? Is there ironing involved?DocT said:

Prepping a frest PT shirt means taking a huge stencil with your company/platoon letter/number and using boot polish or a marker to color it in onto the back of a skivvie, the platoon number also goes on the front. It's a huge waste of time. You have to do it pretty much every time you wash a skivvie.
