jdfairman- not necessarly. if you stop training your body gets weak and muscle tissue breaks down, then you have to build from the base back up. If you get a proper brace, ice whirlpool twice a day [ice if you dont have a whirlpool], do some ultra sound, take some naproxen then you should be good to go. jus dont do any seriously heavy workouts. i know this cause i run div. 1 track. and btw, you didnt say it in a "common sense" way, you said it in a "hey, look at me, im a j@ck@$$" way.

congrats on getting in. I wanted to go air but ended up ground but like you said it doesn't matter cause we're going to OCS to see if we have the Mettle to lead Marines.
if your OSO says X and the board of candidates says Y who are you going to believe??? the pro. or the "know it alls"

Just don't do any seriously heavy workouts. In other words, lay off PT for a couple more weeks. Guess I should have specifically said "lighten up PT" instead of "lay off PT". My bad. I'll be more clear in the future.
And yeah... you're right. Looking at my responses to the posts here... I definitely look like a jackass right now. My apologies. Semper Fi. Good luck at VMI and OCS.
Why is it so many of you VMI guys go through regular OCS or PLC? I'm pretty sure they have Marine Option there don't they? Just curious. Maybe its just a coincidence that most of the VMI grads I know all did the regular course rather than the bulldog course.

for one thing 
guys and girls, im one of the 5% of females @ vmi. I was really suprised by the turnout of PLC option at VMI. It really shocked me. When i signed my contract i was thinking about 10 or so where PLC, but really it seems like theres 40...which is a pretty good number of marines [since most of this school is army]. The scholarships were really competitive for Marines this year. Only 1 person got a 3 yr scholarship out of the 20 or so that applied...which is pretty rare. Now my OSO, is busy outta the wazoo contracting people through PLC. people care more bout making sure they contract through the marines than getting scholarship money....although the money is real nice A lot do PLC because of the garenteed flight spot...thats the reason I did it. I didnt care bout the scholarship money, I just wanted to make sure I could fly w/ the marines. ROTC doesnt garantee a flight spot. you could be biting your nails up until ur 1st classmen year waiting to hear if you can fly. i hope that anwsers ur question.

Are you trying to say Marine Option NROTC won't guarantee a flight spot? Because they will.

Just make sure you take it easy for a week or two before you leave. Overtraining is (in my opinion) just as bad as not training at all.
Cavt-
You do not, I say again, do not, have to enlist before going to OCS. How do you really know how good this "friend of a friend"'s application is? Maybe that's the reason the OSO recommended enlistment.

Congratulations on getting selected and I wouldn't worry much I hear juniors is a cakewalk. Just watch the roots on those trails and don't try to set any records on the O course, probably not your deal anyway. They won't drop you from juniors I don't think. Anyways enjoy the ticks, you've earned them.tabasco said:
