“I recommend 2 liters of water a day here at boys state”, advised SC Thibodeaux. Even with the staff here at LABS encouraging all the young men to drink water, many drank little to no water the first day. Walking over four miles in the 100°F weather is not an easy task, especially without an adequate amount of water in your system. There were multiple accounts reported of people throwing up which could be related to a lack of water. Then when the throw up victims were asked at lunch if they had a water bottle filled with water rather than soda on them, many boys were quick to say no. Although missing out on this day’s water was a major issue, it played out as a great learning experience. There are few times during the day you can grab some water so take advantage of those opportunities. It is hot out there, stay cool and drink water!
