Officially we PT everyday.. with that being said academics take priority, so on test days we do not PT. Being Summer and black flag conditions (VERY hot) everyday, we PT in the mornings. 0530 Your class will decide the type of PT. Our class went to command PT 3 times a week. This was sort of like BASES at bootcamp, you'll see what that means soon! But it's basically about a dozen stations and you do a different exercise at each one.. sprints, CORE, arms.. etc. the other days we had "fun" PT, we would play frisbee or tennis or dodge ball. The site here has about a dozen tennis courts, basketball courts, and volleyball courts spread throughout and ALOT of grass fields. This is where the PT is conducted. Every Wednesday A-school runs a 5K with PRT push-ups and sit ups prior to the run. Power school does this on a day that works for the class. In the winter we PT after class, around 1500 or 1600. All of our PRT's are outdoors, running in the roads, and doing push ups/ sit ups in parking lots. Enjoy the indoor ones at RTC while you can! You can have any electronics you want.. inside of your BEQ (room). There are plenty of people here with CPU's larger than a mini fridge. You cannot however have any type of electronics inside of the schoolhouse, or at most PT. To be safe never have electronics in uniform while on base. You may end up in a space that you can't have it, and forget that you had it. In every barracks building there is a community lounge, this has a large tv with DVD player, most people will connect their laptops and have large viewing parties.. or connect game consoles. There was a VERY large Smash Brothers tournament a few days ago. There is also a liberty center with an internet library, and about 30 tv's with various consoles connected.

There are plenty of pictures of the site online, I suggest you just let them google that s*** :P but as it comes to general rules and policies, and most importantly LIBERTY we can answer most of those questions :P
Oh, and don't **** with the wild life. Seriously, don't be the kid who thought it would be funny to poke a snake with a stick or throw rocks at an alligator. |

How often do you get liberty while in Charleston and what kind of limitations are involved?

Also what if any outdoor activities (camping, fishing, hunting etc) are available while in school? I understand that there probably isn't time at all but just asking out of curiosity.

My son told me stories about a certain gator near one of the docks! I guess someone tried to pee on it, and it can kind of jump rather high!

There are alligators all over base. You'll see them often. There is a bigger swamp nearby that has a lot more alligators. Also they have fishing and hunting there. There is an Outdoor Adventure Center on base that allows you to rent anything outdoorsy you can imagine. I just went Kayaking on base a few days ago. It was so fun. Make sure you do it! They rent bikes, there are many bike trails around. Again just be careful with animals. Wear bug spray everywhere. You'll have liberty every weekend. Go to Charleston, go to the beach, go fishing, play video games.. do anything you want. For a few weeks you'll have to stay in uniform. Then you'll get civvies (regular clothes) abilities.

Knowing how much the military *loves* power points, one of the slides they love to show is a Master Chief that went fishing and lost his arm to an alligator. They actually have pictures of the gator with the arm in its mouth!

When it comes to rooming arrangements, if you're over 21 will your roomates be over 21?

NO. No alcohol on site at all! I've had a few room moves now and multiple roommates, all different ages and progress in the pipeline. There is a bar less than 30 seconds off site though. Right next to the Subway.
