I'm not so sure that pouring rubbing alcohol on your feet is a particularly good idea. Have you tried this out yourself? Did it work? That said, doing short marches at first will help you out quite a bit, from my (admittedly very short) experience. Go for 4-6km ruck marches a couple times...

My platoon LT had me fill the application in on the intranet tonight, which I obviously didn't have access to. He's a "Reserves exist to augment the Reg Force" kind of guys (thank god) and gave me some info packets on how the whole process works, again, off the intranet. So it's all in the...

That's what I gathered from my friend, a Corporal, doing his CT & OT to Log without much grief. Did you  CT from the RMR, Geo?
