Yeah the bit of running I’ve done in boots wasn’t bad it was just a little sluggish and annoying.Running in boots is not going to kill you all, relax. The military in general will typically always condition you first. They don’t just throw you to the wolves or have unnecessary processes that would injure or hinder training ability for the general masses.
On a separate note, it might be unrealistic to consider the November 24th ocs class but I saw some stuff about ocs having leave for Christmas time? That’s really a thing?
