Broke both my shins in the second week of bootcamp and copped that medical discharge so i may heal for 5-6 months at my home rather than at the ward in cape may. *****.
Füćk, both of them! Why'd you do that, you'd think that one would have been enough? Story time. You ain't goin nowhere. Spill beans At least you can sell any extra pain meds to Bill. Heal up Braap. Someone should send Braap a care package of Jameson, Hustlers, and hand lotion
I know when you went off to boot camp I told you "break a leg!!", but shhit, you did not have to take me literally!!!
The problem was caused by running in the issued boots they give you. Our first hour of wearing new boots and we ran a 5k seabag march around the outer perimeter of the base. Doc said he had never seen anyone break shins and walk on them like it did
Nah they call it IT or intensive training, it's really not that bad but my shins couldnt handle the new boots
Yup. sucks for sure. When I was at State Police Academy boot camp (10 weeks), they made us run with boots on as well. I do recall that did suck. But for us it was a slower getting used to it; it wasn't the military, but very close to it, run by former Marine DIs.
I thought Mayberry was in North Carolina, not Nude Hampshire! Who knew! Tell us Barney, what was Andy Griffith really like? #1BulletBarry
Well, that's cuz the doc has never been around the tough dudes of SwellInfo. But seriously, I am real sorry to hear it, it sounds miserable.
Running 5k in boots with a seabag in the first few weeks is just asking for injury. If you wind up going back to "retread", consider wrapping your shins with Ace bandages before your runs. It works
Doc issued me some massaging compression sleeves that are a god send. Best money I ever spent on pt gear
