Month: February 2006

Today is Saturday February 25th, and it is the official halfway point of OCC 191. I’ve successfully made it through the five hardest weeks of my life. We had our intermediate PFT today. Despite my knee problems, I managed to shave a minute off my run time. Some other recent events include: LRC, SULE1, Combat Course, Tarzan Course, 4-mile individual run, and Pugil Sticks. Hopefully I’ll write more about each of these when I have more time. I just wanted to touch base and let everyone know that things are going well.

Liberty at last. It has been a long 3 weeks. Training has been really hard, but has been going well, I’m staying healthy so far. OCS has definitely lived up to its reputation. I never thought I’d crawl through freezing water under 3 feet of barbed-wire with an M-16 and actually enjoy it. Thanks to everyone who has written to me, It gives me something to look forward to every night. Keep writing, if I haven’t written back yet don’t worry, I’ll write back soon.

A few guys from our platoon had dinner last night at the Command Post. We then we got a couple rooms at The Crossroads Inn. I can’t wait until next weekend. Talk to you all soon.
