My Butt Hurts
« on: May 04, 2009, 05:33:32 PM »
 :D Did a 14 mile road march yesterday with a 45 pound ruck and another 45 pounds of gear on me, in 3 hours 17 minutes. Trying to get prepared for EIB so when I do 12 miles in 3 hours it will be easy. Anyone know any good creams for chaffing, blistors and such :rock :salute

 Junky always use jock itch spray before you march , especially when more than 10 miles , good for the feet and good for the crotch , it really helps .

Junky,

If you are going to be doing a lot of roadmarch prep, go get yourself some pantyhose at the PX.  Cut em off half-way and put em on.  They will keep you from chaffing even if you ran the entire 12 miles.  

Put plenty of foot powder inside your socks.  Dont just rub it on your feet.  Actually pour some extra inside for the sweat you'll generate at that high a pace.  

Pad ANYTHING that rubs on you.  I have heard modern day rucks dont rub like the old Large, external frame,  Rucks we used to use in my day.  I still have spots on my back rubbed to something "other than" flesh from years of Humping.

Take the tips or leave em.  But these are tips that got me through Niemegan in the 80's, Ranger School in the 90's, and ummm, Army Advanced Land Navigation School  ;) in West Virginia.

I was talking to a guy who runs alot of marathons and he tapes up his nipples every race.  Apparently if you rubbed your nipples to the point of bleeding once you never do it again.  I thought that was an interesting, albeit only slightly related, factoid.

It disturbs me that you have conversations with other men about their nipples curval :D

Forrest,  :lol :lol :lol only kidding. Try taking a clean pair of socks and maybe that gold bond. I have used Corn Starch based powder in the past. Not so sure it was so good after a heavy sweat.
