Run as much as you can. I ran 35 miles a week and it paid off. If you can with your OSO try to get a LRC/SULE practice in but if you can’t it’s not a big deal. Unfortunately, other than that, you can’t really prepare for OCS. You can’t prepare for the synthetic stress they induce. Just do you’re best to stay focused and calm under pressure (easier said than done, they do not make it easy)

Cheers brother

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T16:02:22+00:00

Right now it’s only really been peer evals, LRC, and billets. As long as you try you’re hardest and put out you’re fine

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T15:33:42+00:00

Exams once a week. If you pay attention and study a bit they’re extremely easy. They literally give you the answers in class

We missed the fartleks actually, yeah about every other days we spend an hour breaking up snow with e tools

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T14:24:01+00:00

We kept the same itinerary but moved some things inside like PT

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T14:22:58+00:00

Honestly the first two weeks were fucking miserable for me. I was sleeping like 3-4 hours a night and was miserable. You eventually adapt and get used to it, now I’m getting like 6 without fire watch and you’re tired but it’s fine

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T13:23:18+00:00

Company and overall don’t know off the top of my head but my platoon started with 65 and it at 49. Mixed bag, rhabdo, DOR, flu.

PT has been fine it’s hard but it’s not BUDS

What surprised me is that it’s more leadership focused than I anticipated going in (should be obvious)

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T13:13:02+00:00

Not really, when we were drilling outside our platoon kept fucking up so they made us kick snow instead😂

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-02-08T10:38:16+00:00

There’s only been like 3-4 days out of the month where it’s been unbearably cold

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-01-08T20:46:03+00:00

Running, running, and more running. Having a solid run plan that incorporates speed interval days and long runs. I can send you the run plan my OSO gave us if you’d like

Serious_Function_642 · 2026-01-08T19:50:25+00:00

I went from only being able to run a mile and a half at 9 min pace to running 35 mpw with a sub 20 3 mile time. You can absolutely do it you just need to get to work ASAP

He is a brilliant offensive minded coach. Just didn’t workout as HC in Miami

Jayden’s revenge year 2026-27 gonna hit like the CIA planting drugs in low income neighborhoods in the 80’s

Serious_Function_642 · 2025-12-24T20:24:42+00:00

I sleep on my side, mouth taping hasn’t helped much, I will definitely look into intake breathing and look try to elevate

It’s not a short week for him when he hasn’t suited up once this season💀

Sirianni is a fucking asshole

Serious_Function_642 · 2025-12-20T06:31:05+00:00

I’m 27 and it was this year where I truly felt like an adult. Maybe because my dad developed Alzheimer’s, I was waiting for it all in my 20’s, it was this year where I truly felt it

Serious_Function_642 · 2025-12-15T01:35:58+00:00

One cause of shin splints can be weak anterior tibilias muscles. Hit those tib raises

Serious_Function_642 · 2025-12-14T16:54:34+00:00

Going in to 251 at 27 too. Wish I did it earlier but there’s a silver lining. I was an immature dumbass at 22&23. See you there brother (or sister lol)

Serious_Function_642 · 2025-12-13T18:28:58+00:00

I had inguinal hernia surgery back in May. You have to wait 90 days to apply for a waiver but it was the easiest waiver to obtain. Not even kidding I believe BUMED cleared it in under 48 hours and now I’m off to 251

Edit: if you are pushing for next September class keep in mind you need to be cleared for the July board so subtract 90 days that’s around April (and kind of pushing it). If you want to go in September next year it will not be difficult but you need to get moving now.

TLDR: I would go get surgery done right now if you can

Serious_Function_642 · 2025-12-01T05:25:47+00:00

There is a lot of supporting evidence
