haha! just laughed at loud at work... thats awesome... i wonder if those would fit under some compression shorts and how they do with chaffing... ha
indoc week head calls were often requested by someone in the class, and then one of the candios would act all pissed off or surprised, ask if anyone else needed to go at which if you are a smart class everyone would raise their hands, then you go piss.
no one should be pissing themselves, ever. trust me you'll single yourself out more by doing that than asking for an emergency head call.
we had a guy request an emergency head call during rifle beatings... err i mean drill practice. twice, on consecutive days. the second day the DI told him to go piss in the bushes and not get caught by base police. the DI ended up having to turn away as to not let us see him laughing, and we as a class were trying our best to not laugh in formation although there was quite a bit of snickering. instant classic OCS moment.
although, asking for a head call / emergency head call during PT is not very smart at all, so piss before you head out there. you'll figure out the schedule. one tip though, get the whole class on the same page real quick that when someone needs a head call EVERYONE needs a head call, because most likely most people will and its a time away from the DI or candios inside the head. you are much less likely to get beat as a class if everyone is on the same page and raises their hand on the "who else needs a head call" question ...

So I'm gonna throw out my own stupid questions...
1. I'm only 5'0. Am I gonna be expected to keep up with the freakishly tall guy (because my luck, I'll have a guy that's 6'6 or something in my class) during runs?
2. The "nature calls" question has been answered...by guys. What's the deal when a girl gets her monthly nature call?
3. And lastly...where does one find solid white sports bras in "really tiny ribcage but really big cup size" sizes?
And IRT #3, I realize this is a problem a lot of girls would love to have, but trust me, it sucks. And I don't ask the question to get attention. But for me, this is a pretty significant problem.

QFE.
Seriously, if it's a choice between getting yelled at for an emergency head call or pissing yourself, make the damn head call. Your class will support you and all say they have to go anyway. I never witnessed anyone get beat for making a head call when I was there. I never saw anyone get "singled out" for it, and we even had a guy make a head call 10 minutes into drill practice, which was also 10 min after our last head call. The DI told him to go in the bushes and hurry up. The staff knows you're drinking over 2 gallons of water a day and will have to piss often.
Hell, even if the consequence of making a head call was a one-on-one RPT session (which I re-iterate is not the case), I'd take that any day over pissing myself. Come on now.
Oh, and don't be "that guy" who pisses in his canteen to avoid running to the head at 0430.
I'm guessing your female by your other two questions. There are 3 run groups at OCS, broken down by speed. The fast group is comprised of those who run the in-pfa under 9:30-10 min, the slow group is those who run the in-pfa in over 11:30 or so, and the medium group is everyone inbetween. So no, you won't have to keep up with the cross country stud who barely breaks a sweat, but you will be expected to keep up with your run group.
as stated above, you'll be put into one of three running groups.
and to expand on that, don't be last in your group. you REALLY don't want to be last, and generally don't want to be second last. do not be last, ever.
if you're in the turtle group, if you're the fastest and they see this on more than one occasion you'll be bumped up a group.

I haven't tried them myself, but they mention customizing bras for that specific problem:
http://www.enell.com/custom_sizes.php
Finding a perfect fitting bra is almost as heavenly as finding perfect fitting jeans... good luck!
I read on AW that they give all females an oral contraceptive prescription at OCS. Search it...
To properly direct to you to where you should get your sports bras, we are going to need some photographs to analyze for dimensions, physiology, etc. Feel free to post those in this thread or in a new one.
Nice try on the "search it..." response. Fail.
Don't go peepee on yourself at OCS. It is a bigger deal than just having an accident, and can come back on the class team staff. There are plenty of head calls, and if you ask and the answer is no, and you do have an accident, someone will get their peepee slapped for telling you no (remember that when you are a candio).
Fail? Not really. They make it shorter and lighter, and since they had been discussed, I was guessing that the whole issue had also been discussed.
Maybe, maybe not, I didn't go searching for period threads but it's never harmful to search for it if you're inclined to "suffer" from that "condition"
I just assumed since you gave the advice to "search it" that you too had also "searched it". If someone wants to ask a question concerning OCS, even if it has been asked, they have the right to an answer from someone who has been and other than just "search it".
Ooh, I thought of a few stupid OCS questions on the drive home.
I have really light skin, and sunburn easily (even in RI). 9-10 months of the year, I need sunscreen if I'm going to be outside more than 30 min.
-Will I have time in the morning to put on sunscreen? (Will the DIs yank me straight out of bed out into the sun ever?)
-Will I be allowed to bring sunscreen into OCS?
-Will I have time to reapply throughout the day?
I figure countless Irish like myself have gone through OCS, but I wonder how that works.
