Preparing for Army BCT — What Should I Focus On?
Planning on going Army MP and shipping around October–November, so I’ll most likely be at Fort Leonard Wood. I’m 5’5”, 113lb, 19M. I’ve been doing 20–30 pushups daily and got my 2.5 mile time down from 40 minutes to 25 in 10 days. I’m a picky eater and have been trying to get used to working out on a somewhat empty stomach. What else should I focus on physically before BCT? Also, for anyone who’s been through BCT or MP training, is there anything you wish you knew beforehand, anything that surprised you, or anything recruiters usually don’t mention? Any advice on what to expect or prepare for would be appreciated!
Wife staying with me at MP BOLC?
I’ll be attending MP BOLC at Fort Leonard Wood, and since it’s TDY, I was wondering if my wife would be allowed to stay with me in my hotel room during BOLC. Has anyone done this recently? Would there be any issues with her staying with me for most or all of BOLC?
