I'll take any advice you guys have to offer before I join my Company in The US Navy for basic. I'm running in the mornings about 6.5 miles. I heard I'm in for a major physical drain so how bad is this going to be?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I can't really answer your question,and I would have my husband do it but he is on deployment right now. But I just want to say thank you for what you are doing for our country. You will be in my prayers!

You run 6.5 miles every morning? You'll be fine. Just make sure you do pushups and situps too. The first PT test I think is after 2 weeks, run.. 2 miles I think, and a bunch of situps and pushups (this information is on the navy website).
You should definitally be talking to your recruiter about what you should be doing. My suggestion is to complete the DEP book if you can. It will really prepare you, and up your paygrade. you definitally need to be physically prepared, but the more important thing is to be mentally prepared. Know your stuff, know the DEP book, don't get frustrated, do your best. Remember that it is all just a mind game, the RDC's are not there to get you kicked out o boot camp, they are there to get you through it, though it may not always seem like that.
Also, if you were told to bring anything to boot camp (clothing, etc), don't. You are issued everything you need. At most you should bring a bible (or other), address book, wallet with licenses, papers, etc, some cash (small bills are best), and a calling card. Other than that, it will either get sent home, or you will have no room for it. You will be issued paper, envelopes, and stamps, and everything else you will need.
Let me know if you have any questions about boot camp, feel free to contact me via one of the messengers, or post here.

no worries, boot camp is easy, you just have to go into it in the right mindset. If you seriously run 6.5 miles a day, then PT will be the easiest part for you.
Make sure to hydrate when in boot camp!
