Quoted: +1 for the mountain bike. Marine OCS is tough. What are you doing for a workout? Ensure you include a pack run and hills if possible.

+1 on the run and the hills. Toughen up those feet. Start running in boots if possible. Good luck, bro, you going Juniors/Seniors/Combined?

I'm a freshmen in college, and im in PLC. So i go to 2 separate 6 week OCS terms. And hopefully i get to go to my first this summer. Im not in bad shape, i go to the gym 5 days a week, but didnt do much cardio. Sometimes i'd run the 2 miles home from the gym, but i was beat to death after a workout and then 2 miles at the end. So i figured a bike would be the best thing for me.
And i just got home with it. Walked to walmart and i wasnt to happy with their selection, lots of little bikes but only a few to choose from for what i was looking for. I ended up with a Schwinn! I'm really happy with it. I chose it because it has an Aluminum frame, front shocks, 21speed, V-brakes, and looked like it was very well-built. I'll post a pic of it as soon as i can. I really like this thing alot, and am very please with it so far(I rode it 3 miles home).
I'm really liking the weight of this bike, not only does it make it easy to control, but i live on the 3rd floor of my apt complex and i can lift this thing over my head with one arm and carry it upstaires no problem.
I really like the front shocks, and even on the ride home, my ass took a beating and i kinda wish i had full suspension, but the only full suspension bikes in my price range were either shit, or heavy steel, and i wanted a light ride.
OK, enough for now, i'll try to get some pics.
