RLP

If you find yourself complaining tomorrow while you are sitting at your desk at work, thinking that life is horrible, and you can't wait to get home, take a break and watch this video. This is what Spencer will be doing tomorrow. He's been preparing for this for the past 3 weeks. Notice the name on the t-shirt. He's been stamping his name on every shirt, towel, etc. The name has to be perfectly placed in the center, and as you can see, the DI's make sure they measure everything out. It's the most common thing people at OCS fail. If he fails twice in a row, he gets rolled(again). Crazy how they prepare for so long, only for a 15 minute inspection. I know that he is really nervous about it, and from what he's told me, that video doesn't even do it justice. I know I've posted a lot of these videos, but I think this one portrays just how insane OCS is! So make sure to watch it.

He has also had some recent problems with his knee. Last week while they were running, he started having some pretty bad pain. He started limping, and the DI made him go to the hospital to get it checked out. Thankfully, there was no damage - but the doc said it was because his shoes were so old and not giving him enough support. It broke Spencer's heart to find out he had to go buy a new pair of shoes :) But now he's doing well. Just be thinking about him tomorrow and hope that he passes this dreaded test!
