Warriors,
As I mentioned in a previous email, on Saturday, 26 January we will be conducting our first pool event of the year. See below for the details:

Rally Point: We will be meeting in the parking lot of TCC South right of I-20 near 35W (5301 Campus Drive, Fort Worth, TX. 76119).

Time: Be in the parking lot at TCC South no later than 1000 (which should mean 0945 to all of you). We will conclude the event sometime around 1300-1400.

Uniform: This will be a PT event, but I want all of you in long-sleeves and athletic/hiking pants as well as boots or athletic shoes. The events of the day will include those that could scratch up elbows and knees, and it will likely be cold. If you have been to OCS, you should be in woodland cammies and boots. If you are bringing a guest, and we highly encourage you to, please ask them to wear a plain white t-shirt in order to make it easier for us to identify who is in our pool and who is a guest. They can still wear a sweatshirt or long-sleeve of some kind, but please have them wear a white t-shirt over the top when they get there.

What to bring: A water source, and a signed copy of the hold-harmless agreement.

Diet: This will be a difficult PT session. It is very important that all of you are hydrated and have had healthy meals the day prior.

I look forward to seeing all of you, and I must reinforce that if you have been to OCS, are selected for OCS, or hope to be selected for OCS you must be there unless you have worked out an individual excuse for absence with me directly.

Semper Fidelis!

This PFT is NOT MANDATORY, but if YOU are in need of a PFT score for your application, or if you just want to see where you're at, we'll see you at the office Friday morning at 0700. MOTIVATE!!!

All Contracted Candidates, Candidates who have been to OCS at least once, and all interested in contracting this coming school year: We are having our annual Survivor's Picnic on Saturday, Sept 17th in Fort Worth.
