On June 14, 2010, soldiers in the Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Salina, Kan., woke up 4:30 a.m. to the not-so-soothing sounds of their company platoon trainers cajoling them from their bunks. These soldiers moved with a purpose, grabbed their M-16 A2 training aid, donned their fully loaded ruck sacks and went on a five mile road march. This was all completed before 8 a.m., when most people were just getting to work, and this is just a small portion of the demands that they must endure this day.
