Jrome - Hush. We've all been where you're going, we don't need the "blow by blow" account of your journey. Next time you have a problem, ask a question - succinctly - and somebody will be along shortly with an answer. Don't forget the search button - blisters are a common problem and we've devoted a lot of bandwidth to the subject. FWIW, I would recommend doing your initial conditioning (feet and boots) marches on a uniform surface. Try to stay off of concrete and asphalt. My personal favorites are developed running trails, firebreaks, or the grassy shoulder of a secondary road. It reduces the risk of training injuries and encourages development of a uniform pace. When the boots are broken in and the feet/body are toughened up then you can push the envelope. Doing it right - even with limited time before your report date - is much more efficient than doing it wrong, getting injured, and having to start all over AFTER you've healed. Now go work on your pushups. My .02 - Peregrino
