OCS Update or shall I say Wound Update!

So, Matt is going into his 5th week of OCS. They are working so hard, physically and mentally..ok, physically. Just this past week they had a 4 mile ability run, a 4 mile release run, a 7 mile road march with a 70 pound rucksack on his back and they did weapons PT one morning, which means everything they do, they have to carry around a 12 pound mock gun. He's losing weight (still!) and has blisters that would make a grown man wince and they are! He has been home every weekend even if it's only for 24 hours. Next weekend, they'll be doing community service, it's all part of the "learning" process I suppose. He is tired, but in good spirits. We should be learning his job and duty station within the next week or two. Feel free to drop him a line, matthew.j.skirpan@us.army.mil. Have a good week. HOOAH!
