   I'm right there with you with the running. I'm hoping the adrenaline rush during the PT test gets me through it. My new apartment complex has a pretty nice gym so I've been trying to utilize it as much as possible. I know we'll all be fine. Verbal co...

   I sure hope so. My recruiter took me to get one but they were sold out at Ft Meade so he told me to find one at Ft Sam when I got here. How can I find out if I'm authorized or not? Thanks.

   Anyone familiar with Ft Sam know where I would be able to find Inspection Ready Berets? Why go through the hassle if I don't have to right? Thanks!

   The first PT test is within the 1st week and its just diagnostic so it doesn't count against you if you don't pass. The actual test is towards the end of OBC. If you pass the diagnostic then you dot need to take it again so you're right, Lunah, we be...

    Does anyone know what day graduation will be on? It's before the additional job tracks correct? I'm assuming it's on Memorial Day weekend but I haven't been given the actual day yet.

    RNburnout, I would recommend practicing sit-ups in a modified position to start. Possibly wedge your head up so you aren't coming all the way down after a sit-up in order to avoid stretching your hip flexors completely. Or even stretching them prior ...

    Is anyone concerned about the PT portion of training? I just received my acceptance last week which only gives me a month and a half to really train. Does anyone have any workout suggestions? Thanks!

    Hey RN's! I'm an occupational therapist sneaking onto the nurse page because there's barely any OT's chatting about OBC. I'm attending the March training as well. Wasn't sure whether or not to get the uniforms now or in Fort Sam when I get there. I'm...
