From what I saw of the other divisions, we did a lot more drill, marched a whole lot more, and got a whole lot less sleep than the regular divisions. Typically 800 divisions are typically more motivated that regular rifle divisions, so the 800 div RDC's tend to be a little harsher than regular RDC's, but thats because they don't want you to settle for average or above average, they want you to be the best. We ended up HOFing with a 4.91 out of a 5.0, and 5.0 being a a perfect score on everything. The closest score to ours was a 4.71 which was still a HOF, but barely. I would have to say that the RDC's in ship 4 are the best on base, hands down. We would not have achieved the score we did without them. As far as PT goes, I got out of shape in bootcamp. My run came down a little bit, but my pushups, situps, and pullups dropped significantly. I lost about 2 minutes on my swim as well. You PT a lot, but you don't really have a lot of time to recover, so it hurts more than it helps. I'm trying to get back to where I was before now that I can get a normal amount of rest again. I hope this helps you man!
