So James is in week 00 of BCT (Basic Combat Training) at Ft Benning… By now he probably has a haircut, may have gotten innoculations and had a physical… He should be doing a lot of running because he’s going to need to pass another test and should just be generally getting in shape for the rest of Basic.

James said that Week 00 can last up to a month, depending on the number of recruits that were ready to go, so I’m not going to be able to really chart his progress until I get a letter from him. I’ll do my best to keep up, though, and when I do hear from him, I’ll post some general updates.
