I am surely going to die...
From a guy who went to OIS (Navy Camp) last summer:
"You will have a Chief and an officer assigned to your company (group of fellow HPSP'ers), my company had ~30. The Chief is a 'Red Roper' the Navy's version of a Drill Sergeant. They will be in direct control of just about every aspect of your life for the full 4 weeks. The average day is as follows: From 0430-~0600 PT. If you don't exercise regularly, start running now. The first day or so you are there you will undergo the PRT (physical readiness Test -?-) which consists 1.5 mile run, push-ups and sit-ups. If you don't fall within the guidelines for your age, you will be placed on remedial PT along with manditory nutrition and life-style education. This takes away from the few hours of sleep you have each night (I averaged 5.5-6hrs/night). 10-15min for AM chow, and ABSOLUTELY no talking; hand gestures to pass the salt. Drill practice for a few hours, in between any administrative stuff you have to do (dental exams, immunizations, etc.) and classes. Expect several hours of classes involving instruction on various aspects of the Navy and being a Naval Officer. Noon chow and evening chow follow the same rules, you will only earn the 'privilage' to drink anything other than water some time in the second or third week and don't expect to have desert privileges until probably the last week. Expect afternoon PT frequently. You will have NO down time for the first 15-20 days. The Chief will say goodnight to the company @~1900 and from that time on you will have to complete daily 'homework' assignments of all sorts (personal essays, reports on Navy stuff and study time for weekly tasks of memorizing various Navy creeds, oaths, etc.). You will be constantly hounded about every detail from dress, hair cut, shave (for the guys) to reciting memorized material. Rooms must be in inspection-ready condition at all times (ended up sleeping on top of the precisely made rack every night). No liberty (the ability to leave the 2 square miles of 'training country') until the weekend before graduation and you must be in by 2230 each night."
This is NOT cool! Up until last year, it was like summer camp... they only had to do PT maybe 3-4 times. Now, I'm going to bootcamp!!!! What have I gotten myself into??????????????????????????
Yikes.
Glad I started running now. Guess I should really start pushing myself way, way harder. :(
