BCT Day 2

Today started early at 0330. We went to the victory tower, which is an obstacle course. We had to propel down a 40 foot wall. It was a lot of fun. You can check out the victory tower on BCT website. The heat caused 4 heat casualties from my platoon. Heat has really been an issue here. We had to sit through briefings in the afternoon. Everybody in the company is always struggling to stay awake during these lectures - that's the hardest part of BCT so far.

I got smoked 8 times. I was smoked twice before 0500. I am not a big fan of our female DS who makes it know that she hates females by pointing out everything that is wrong with us. We had to do pushups until muscle failure this morning. I am sure that I will feel it tomorrow.

One thing about BCT is that they give you just enough time to get everything done. You have to choose your priorities. 45 minutes of personal time at night is when we take showers, organize closets, prepare for the next day, write letters, and do laundry. It seems like I can only fit in a quick shower before I have to prepare for formation at 2045.
