Bring Vitamin C + Zinc Packets

[BaseballGuy]

Please bring vitamin C + zinc packets. Emergen-C packets are great, 13$ for 30 on amazon. Please start taking them before you arrive. This will reduce sickness a ton, as most swabs get sick during the summer.

Definitely good advice. Unfortunately, the Chase Hall Crud gets to everyone eventually. Both cadre and swabs will get sick due to the intense strain on everyone’s bodies. Thankfully, there are a few strategies you can use to minimize the damage.

1. Drink water! It sounds simple, but it is essential to staying healthy.
2. Take supplements. As @BaseballGuy said, vitamin C is important. You might not want to eat much, so taking vitamins is a good way to help you stay healthy.
3. Respect basic hygiene. When cadre give you time to shower, especially at night, it’s not just for the stink.

Finally, if you do get sick, don’t wait for the cadre to notice. Let them know. I tried to hide it when I got sick, and I ended up catching a 104 fever and missing the next two days of training. Don’t be a hero. Take care of yourself.
