@Morgan Murphy SNA here.



My SNA buddy from out here in CA, almost two years out of OCS, had class from 10NOV–16FEB or so. He opted for Christmas off and saw his family at extended family's house in VA. He said our timing is interesting because it is consistently disrupted by holidays. What you mentioned about the lightened workload on Thanksgiving also stands for other Federal holidays like Veteran's Day (first couple days there), as well as MLK Jr Day (Jan 18, i think). He said it makes it feel as though it goes by very quickly.

Also, his recommendation was that if you did take the leave and say, travel back across the country for Xmas, make sure you have a buffer time for weather/ freak stuff that could inhibit your prompt return. I will probably come back out here for the Xmas break if it is feasible, more for my Mom's sake than my own. But most I have spoken to about it say it is a nice opportunity to charge your batteries.


If I don't get back for Xmas, though, I'm in for this^

I don't think I'll be going back to Chicago for Christmas. I think it'll throw me off. Id definitely be interested in a group trip to NY, big opportunity to get to know each other outside of the chaotic environment which will help us when we get back.

I will be going to NY during New Years. I have friends meeting me up there! Definitely could all ride up together.

You have no idea... It's all I think or talk about! It's odd to be so excited for the freezing hell we will surely endure.

No clue yet. We should all try to grab dinner together to celebrate our last night of freedom.

My buddy went through 10NOV13-14FEB14. called it the "weirdest, most fucked up 3 months you'll have" and says, "try to keep your gloves try as much as possible– once they get wet they almost never dry completely". Due to the cold, he mentioned that the most they ran was ~3 mi and they worked up to it– not right away. Recommendations were be proficient in wall-sits, squats, and flutter kicks, as well as sitting in the push-up position for minutes at a time, and down-ups with a push up and the bottom (like the football exercise).
