Well, I am back from my first RSP drill. It was a bit rough but enjoyable non-the-less. Learned a lot of very useful information, got my AKO account all squared away, and got to come home very sore. I am looking forward to going back again, only this time as White Phase and not Red Phase.

My first drill was intimidating and unexpected, but after it i felt a sense of accomplishment. White Phase is alot of fun you will enjoy ur next drill:D

Oh this one was very intimidating:) I felt excellent when we got dismissed. I felt like I had really done something, and that was just a drill. I can only imagine what it must feel like to graduate BCT and AIT. I am loving this stuff!

Glad to hear that all went well and that you actually enjoyed it! I know it was a long road for you to get in, so enjoy the sweet moments of accomplishment. Just remember that life isn't about the destination, it's the journey...and for most of us, the journey has just begun!!!
Congrats again for finally getting in! I knew you'd beat me to it! ;)

Yea i just got back from my 2nd Drill Weekend and it was def alot more fun then being in Red Phase!!! We were never in the classroom it was all field classes/exercises. Keep up the good work. Be sure to do your own PT on your own time though it is very important.

We did a whole lot of classroom time in our Red Phase. We did get our fair share of smoking though. I am so incredibly sore right now that getting out of bed to go to work just sounded like a terrible idea.

I really struggled through my first RSP and we all got smoked. I felt as if it was my fault, but everybody said it wasn't. I finished the run dead last.
