I have to agree with MSG C. After nearly a quarter of a century of active duty, they were all always the same. Unless you are the first unit, it's going to be a slinky, and they are almost always (painfully) slow runs. The worst part for me was always the schedule! Division run starts at 0700, therefore BDE formation at 0630, BN Formation at 0600, Company formation at 0500 for light calisthenics and stretching (for a run that won't START for 2 hours!). Is this still the same schedule?

Pretty much every division run ends up that way. My company was going to hold a 0345 formation for it. Instantly I questioned it since some of us live in Savannah and might not be able to pass out for the night until at least 2300 unless medicated to do so--safety concerns anyone? Can't wait for my shin splints--last ones with the Marne Division (for now) after a decade.
