Hikes?
My friend is in Recruit Training at Parris Island right now and he wrote me a letter and said they take miserable Hikes.How much hikes do you take?What do you do during hikes do you run all the way? and how much weight do you hike with?

You go on several "hikes" (called humps) during field training. You carry all of your stuff, I don't know how much it weighs- maybe 40-50 pounds. You don't run- you'll get yelled at if you run. But, it isn't a slow walk- the purpose is to move, so you move quickly.

There's like 5 or 6 humps ranging from 3 miles to 10 miles. When you take off your pack your cammies will look like you went for a swim in them. Enjoy!

The hikes get longer as you go further into training. You do all your hikes with the mollee pack. I don't know how much weight is in there, but probably around 40lbs. You do a 3, 5,6, 7 1/2, and then finally a 9 mile hike at the end of the crucible. If you're tall, then you don't have to move too fast. If you're the shortest one in your platoon (like me), then you'll be running the whole way. Either way, it's a fast walk.

She'll still be pretty in a Marine pic- just have the added beauty that are dress blues.
