We were up at 0330 and left for the road march at 0430. We did the fit to win obstacle course in the morning. We had to run through the woods doing different obstacles, such as low crawl, high crawl, rope climbing and jumping. It was very challenging and I was covered from head to toe in mud since it had rained the night before. We sat around for about 3 hours before we headed to the campsite. One thing that I am surprised about BCT is how much time is wasted just sitting around. BCT could be condensed to at least 6 weeks if the Army was efficient.
We marched to the campsite which was 1 mile away and learned the low & high crawl. I was so dirty by the end of the day & of course there was no shower facilities.
All the females stayed in individual tents in the woods. I had to pull fire guard duty & every 10 minutes I heard a scream because of ants crawling on them. They need to get used to roughing it since it is the Army. It was extremely hot and humid so I decided to take the rain cover off. Of course it would downpour at 0100. Trying to figure out how to put the rain cover on while you are half asleep and drenched was no fun!
