It’s frustrating just waiting around. What are some things to do now to prepare for Army service while you are going through the commissioning process?
| Start to learn a new language |
| Learn more about the geographic area your CACOM will be operating within. |
| Read books! (insert book list generated for 38Gs here- Heather is working on this) |
| Get ripped…maybe not ripped, but look at Army Physical Fitness Standards here and create a physical fitness training plan. |
| Learn marching and running cadence- there are websites, videos on YouTube, you can listen to cadence on Apple music or other platforms |
| Ruck….Learn to ruck with a backpack weighing ~45lbs. Do this for 3-5 miles to condition yourself to carry more than just your own weight. |
| Read the Army Officer’s Guide: https://www.mentormilitary.com/army-officers-guide-p/brd-armyoffgde.htm and other books provided at this website, such as military writing. |
