Week 4 = Hell Week for a couple reasons.
The worst being you are up really freakin' early every day, like 3AM to be ready for 4am to march off and start your day. Your at the fire range, a chance for a ribbon so don't screw up! You have your PFA for your Olympic Flag, you have your Drill Inspection and if you pass you can march off as a division to your classes/haircuts etc...DON'T FAIL!! We failed this by .4 points and our RDC's made us stand at parade rest for 3 hours a day for 3 straight days...get back from a class..Parade rest! Get back from chow...parade rest! Every 15 minutes our RPOC was allowed to bring us back to attention for a drink of water, then back to parade rest..it was brutal so don't fail lol.
You also have your zone inspection this week. At this point your supposed to know everything in boot camp..what not to do, how to march, how to fold, how to do this, so if you screw up there is a lot of IT that goes on. Its a challenging week mentally, if you screw up like miss flags it will be a challenging week physically too.
