The Basic School Gouge

My first post!
So, I finished OCS waaaay back in Aug 2011 and just now getting to The Basic School (Report May 21). I'm hearing all sorts of things about it, (100+ lb. pack ruck marches for 15 miles, 1hr long Endurance course, etc). I grad OCS without much trouble, but I'm trying to find out if anyone here knows what the state of TBS is lately. That is to say, are they looking for any reason they can to kick people out? How hard is it physically compared to OCS? And anyone have recent experience on how long it will be before starting API after TBS grad?

Good luck in all things. If you're asking these questions HERE…and NOW…well, like I said, good luck!

If the current timing holds, the Blue Angels will be looking for a new USMC Demo Pilot in every even-numbered year from now on. Add that to the equation…and good luck!
