Which one would you have done if you had a choice or which one do you prefer?
I definately would not want to jump in the Quigley in 18 degrees. I did 10 weeks in the summer with -192. I much prefer the heat than the cold. All you gotta do it drink water like you're supposed to. And as soon as you're done with the PT or event, its a lot easier to cool down than it is to warm up - in my opinion.
I didnt start to get involved in the USMC program until my junior year in college. I would imagine you may want to get involved your freshman year because you will get paid more money. For me, I'm glad I didnt go when I was 18. I dont think I would have been ready. So it worked out for me.
Plus I like to think I got a lot more philisophical with age.
...and I am dreading the cold.
is probably one of the most crucial things I will take back to Srs... well that and erasable pens, lol.learn[ing] to shut the fvck up
The fact that OCS it is 20% longer is a joke. You have 2 graduation weeks and pick-up weeks, the training is all the same. So don't go saying that plc jr/sr is any better because you get more training, because you don't. You just spend more time getting yelled at for no reason. Why unnecessarily torturer yourself?
Because pain is weakness leaving the body?
