If I would have known that the Army was in my future while in school I would have gone ROTC -
The only prep I had was workouts on my own - running, lifting and LOTS of Tae-Kwon-Do. Also did a LOT of research on my own... including meeting and talking with a lot of vets from this site!
As for shin-splints... not a problem - I've always been a runner... but running shoes have good arch supports, for my high arches, unlike my always highly-shined combat boots! Try to not wear them often though - they won't let me have them at Ranger school (I think)... so I'll train without!
