For those that have gone through OCS:
I've read post after post and thread after thread about OCS fitness, all regarding to PFTs, Armstrong pull ups, sit ups, etc. I want to know how to prepare for all of the non-PFT vigors of OCS.
I saw and looked over the sample workout plan posted on the OCS website:OCS Workout Plan. The max mileage they have listed is 17 miles (I'm working out at a moderate level and I am breaking 20 miles per week) and a variety of body weight excercises.
Is this realistic to prepare for OCS or do you need to challenge yourself more/less/just this much in order to perform at OCS. Looking back, is there something you should have trained more on to make OCS easier? Any info would be helpful, b/c right now I feel like I am only training for PFTs and not for the 10 weeks of OCS. Thanks.
