I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say about the class, so I'll keep my mouth shut. There's not much I could add anyway to the information that's already out there on this and other boards.

(One brief item: the Wellco Tuffcushions are allowed, as are the Bates jungle boot, and the new Gore-Tex issue boot. Bring a pair of boots that are too big - they may end up fitting at the end of the class when your feet are swollen. I brought four pair of boots, and even carried two pair in my ruck during one of the events and seemed like a genius when I had dry boots after nights of rain and stream crossings.)

Good luck from SOPC 2,

Leozinho
Congratulations!

Spare boots for weight sure beats sandbags.

Did you get boarded, or were you a selectee without that fun?
