showers in boot camp
How often do you get to shower at rtc? Is it when you wake up and before bed? Just something I was wondering.

You will shower, or "hygiene", once every day... in the beginning, this may be in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening... basically, whenever they can squeeze the time into the plan of the day. Also, expect to often "get beat" and be made to exercise immediately after you hygiene sometimes. On Sundays, you'll have time to hygiene as long as you want during holiday routine.

So I assume then that pretty often you go to sleep dirty and sweaty ? Something I can deal with but just curious.

I don't recall feeling dirty or sweaty when I went to bed... but yeah, probably. You're not exactly rolling in the mud, and you hydrate enough that you sweat is just water... so even if I'd been dripping sweat doing stress-sets a few hours earlier, I was dry by the time I went to bed.

PTs are usually scheduled for the afternoon ( unless you have PFA which may be as early as 5 am), then we showered. There were a few times when we had to go to the galley and then shower. Most of the times we went to bed clean. At the same time you can get sweaty at any point of the day and you have to deal with it.

I just graduated today. You will hygiene once a day. Typically after you PT, depending on how intense it was. You usually won't hygiene right after in house PT since you really don't sweat at all. But if you are doing any other PT you will hygiene after. If not it will happen before evening routine.
But on Sunday's you can take a hollywood shower. Those are the best. There aren't a lot of people in there and you can take your time. |
