January 10 week OCS

[BarrettRC8]

Cold.

But if you go in the summer, it's hot and humid, and in the spring it rains every day. So just wait until next autumn and you'll be fine....and then never go to TBS.

Best advice I've ever heard.

Agree totally.

Congrats on getting out of here. I tried my hardest to convince the bus driver yesterday that we were in fact supposed to go to the FBI Academy and that Charlie Co. was the one going to R-11. Sadly, it didn't work.

R-11 is pretty fun by the way.

So if your glass was half full would this...

I hate slipping.

be "falling with style"?

but yes no snakes is a good thing, when i first jumped in something slimy floated right up against my face insert "hebejebees"

R-11 is pretty fun by the way.

R-11 sucks ass compared to R-15. Much better of a time... plus, you don't have to do some awkward shifting/wagon-wheel rotation maneuver. And it's all grass!

Quigley in the snow? screw that...

am I the only one who thought the quigley was hyped up too much?

 

[Ken_gone_flying]

Cold. But what makes it even worse is the wind. It is very windy right there on the water. Plan to sneak in some chapstick.

 

[Ric Hard]

Just like Riper Snifle I was OCC 194 and I agree with everything he said. Get used to frost bite on your hands and you will be ok. Stay focused and don't break youself by slipping on ice or hurting yourself on the O-course and you will be fine.

Is chapstick an issue? or does it depend on the SI?

 

[crucible724ind]

are you serious

Chapstick?? I think the SIs would definitely provide you with some themselves..cause they definitely care about whether candidates have chapped lips..

 

[Grnweenie23]

If they allow you to have it at bootcamp, wouldn't they allow you to have it at OCS? People lips got really bad and drill instructors were making them buy it at the PX and use it.

I don't know. The closer I get to 10 Jan the STUPIDER I get. I'll be the first to admit it.

 

[swoulter]

I brought my own chapstick and others did as well. I kept it in my pocket and when I used it no one seemed to mind.

 

[Slammer2]

Its not a big deal. Take it down. If they say you cant use it then dont. If they dont say anything then dont bring it up.

Quigley in the snow? screw that...

The frozen quigley was a cake walk once you got past the initial shock. The last portion of the combat course with the the deep ford was money with the floating blocks of ice. Motivating as heck.


Oh and its FREEZING out here.

I pissed myself in the Quigley it was so cold, but I didn't see any ice in the deep ford. Of course I was too busy trying to keep my legs moving and my rifle (relatively) clean and dry.

You in Charlie Co? I think they went on a colder day than us Delta guys.

Ooorah gents only 4 weeks left!
