Hey all....
I'm really jumping the gun here as I just left my nice concrete bubble (aka the Mega) for my attach posting here at home. I'm slated to go back 1 Feb 10 to be "reassessed" for my TCAT 3 and I'm, I guess, hoping against hope I'll be ready to go back to platoon and not AWT once that's done or very shortly thereafter.
Realistically, I don't know what my recovery time is going to be. My ortho says another 3 weeks before full weight bearing. But that's just MY weight. Not including the rucksack and all the other kit I have to hump around base. I've been trying to keep up with my exercises that my Pt gave me as well as my upper body PT (push ups, sit ups etc... you should see me do a killer one legged pushup )
Obviously my recovery time is a big question that's weighing on me - but I will save those questions for my ortho when I see him in a couple weeks. (pray for a good xray for me)
My other question is this - If by some miracle I am actually declared fit - full duties, in Feb when I return to St Jean, what is the official (or close enough) policy on the obstacle course during the winter?
I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared shitless of the thing now in good weather - nevermind the ice and snow. Farnham doesn't faze me, nor does the BFT - I know I can do it. It's just that damned obstacle course. I just don't want to break anything else... it's bad enough it's going to take me almost a full year of my 3 year contract to finish my BMQ.
*sorry for the rambling... just a little stressed for my first day on my attach posting.... :S
