Questions about State OCS with Nat.Guard.

[CJAKS]

I am about to re-enlist into Nat Guard 09S and attend traditional state OCS.
I have some concern with the actual training as I have been out of service for 9 years. Any tips on what I can do to prepare for Phase 0?

I hear state programs have a high failure rate? It's hard to beleive since its one weekend a month and 2-2 week annual trainings.

I've been working out very regular and have dropped weight and regained stamina, pushups/situps, etc..I'm not worried about APFT, but am I in for a rude awakening like basic training (which I did'nt think was hard)????

I thought it was a good program, we did a pretty hardy PT program each drill, so I had to stay in shape in between drills...But THAT rule doesn't change once you finish the program.

We started off with a PT test, and that weeded out a few unprepared souls on day one.
