What do you do, exactly? Put on your whites, drive to Boston, check into a hotel, and go out on the town in uniform?? How does that work?

Yeah, pretty much!
As for running, you can definitely be slow and move up. I started out towards the back of the medium group and later I moved up to the fast group (because you can).
It DEFINITELY pays dividends on your speed on the out-pfa. More importantly, in your fitness I guess. Just a little lifestyle advice, try to keep up that push-yourself attitude after OCS and don't let it drop.

one word of advice about going to Boston in your summer whites...
at the bar/club BEWARE the women who seem all interested and chase off all the other women all night only to disappear at the end of the night when their boyfriends show up. not cool at all. and yea, watch the cover as it'll disappear faster than you can blink and no that is not an exaggeration.

How do you tell the difference? Other than a ring...
Lesson: leave with them before the end of the night or before their boyfriends show up. Next time I guess they'll get there earlier.
Yeah, sounds like you just can't close the deal. And if you can't close that deal, you must have negative game. Because I wasn't even trying to get in on a deal (I was engaged at the time) and the girls were the ones trying to close the deal. Your one of those guys who should do their first tour in Japan, me thinks.

Whoa...lay off the guy. I was there that night as well...we ran into 3 ladies and found out pretty quickly that they had boyfriends. No biggie, no need to play homewrecker...but everytime we paid the slightest attention to another girl at the club (often after said girl sought us out), they'd find some obnoxious way to interject.

Back to the running question, RE: Final Select. My OR said I had to run a good-medium for a FS, though right now I'm running a good-low. Sit-ups are in the excellent range (if I actually work on it I can max out), and pushups are maxed out. I'm still working on my run to be better at OCS, but basically if I run a good low come PRT time will I still be good for that final select?
Second question, re: Liberty. How far is one allowed to go off base? My guess is I'll stick around and spend the time with my classmates, but I'm from the northeast, so home isn't far away, but it's definitely farther than Boston. Let's just say the idea of going to Fenway to root for the home team makes my skin crawl . . . .

Things to Bring-Socks and Underwear
Underwear-Does the color/cut of the underwear you bring with you to OCS matter, clearly some non-attention grabbing solid color (grey, black, navy) would be ideal, but does it have to be white? Also, briefs are listed....can that be "flex" to boxer briefs?
Socks-I haven't worn cotton socks in 5 years, Smartwool is the S**t, the OCS sheet lists "White Crew Socks", would any one get bent out of shape if they had small writing/other color(grey) parts on the like toe and bottom?
This may seem trivial, but as this is the stupid questions thread and someone here has to use high performance socks and underwear and should understand the concern.

They could have changed it since last year. However, the liberty radius was written in the OCR, not the gouge packet.
