I just figured that was a given with me.

I have a katana and a wakizashi... sure, they're somewhat sharp and pointy, but they're more decorative than useful in terms of real swordfighting.

Double-dipping ftw... too bad being on ADOS for the last two and a half years prior to mobilization basically nixed that for me. The only thing I had to look forward to was the travel pay.

One of my soldiers is going to WLC right after we get back. I'm proud of him being gung-ho and wanting to knock it out, but damn, I don't know if I'd be ready to go to a school after just getting back from the desert like that. But then it's probably better to go while you're still in the swing of things than after a month of getting fat and happy on beer.

Yeah, I should be back in the states by mid-may, and going to phase 3 and 4 of BNCOC in June.
I hope to get started at my tech job before I go to school, so I can use my mil leave and double dip as well.

Damn, now I'm thinking I'm real glad I got none of those schools left to go to. I finished ANCOC back in 04

Probably, I was an acting squad leader at E-5 when all the rest were E-6s. Of course, I had to wait for stateside rotation to go to school so...

I've been in a squad leader position all but about 4 months since I got my 5's. It's retarded.

I hope BNCOC will be the second to last school I have to attend. The last being WOC school in a year or so.

Question for current and former Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen:

If you're already in good shape, exercise regularly, lift weights, etc., would basic training be somewhat easy?
