update from OCS Quantico

I got a 24 hour libo pass, so I did what every college student does..... checked facebook, I thought I'd update y'all. FYI OCS sucks, nothing like getting treated like a recruit again, accept you are expected to lead while being treated like a recruit, some of the candidates here get way to stressed out over stuff. they need to take a chill pill lol. we had a helo ride ona 46 on monday and another one tomorrow out to our bivvy site for SULE I I played in the quigley which I found enjoyable, it was a nice break from the humidity haha. score wise I am 14th out of 52 in my platoon, we started with 63, we expect to lose 1 or 2 more in week 5 boards, fun stuff. have a good one

Message for your platoon: You can't give out sh*t, if you can't first take it! At least you know at the end they will be proud and wouldn't have it any other way.

Good Luck and Semper Fi.

Thursday ain't gone by yet! Keep your eyes on the finish line and your mind in the game. I'm sure you'll do OK but remember they can drop your butt right up to the last minute. Keep it tight. Good luck.
