Prospective students have already begun preparing for university, and military training—the first lesson of campus life—has become a major concern for many. Days of outdoor drills, standing at attention, and marching under intense sunlight, combined with high-intensity training, often lead to tanning, redness, heat exhaustion, fatigue, and sore legs and feet.

There is no need to wait until the last minute. This comprehensive military training survival guide covers essential supplies, common pitfalls, and emergency responses to physical discomfort. It also recommends a post-sun repair routine to help you prepare in advance and face prolonged sun exposure with confidence.

01 Military Training Essentials Checklist

1. High-Protection Sunscreen and Post-Sun Soothing

Choose a sunscreen suited to your skin with SPF50+ and PA++++ protection. Apply a sufficient amount as directed and reapply promptly. Do not overlook areas such as the back of the neck and behind the ears. After cleansing at night, focus on gentle hydration and soothing care.

2. Large-Capacity Water Bottle

Drink small amounts of water frequently during training rather than waiting until you feel thirsty. When sweating heavily, electrolyte drinks may be used appropriately under the guidance of teachers or medical staff.

3. Everyday Care Essentials

Prepare tissues, wet wipes, mosquito repellent, throat lozenges, and cleansing products as needed. Medicines and special items should be used in accordance with school rules.

02 Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Whether cooling sleeves, sun umbrellas, and similar items are permitted depends on the school’s uniform requirements.

2. Avoid makeshift insoles that shift easily or deform after absorbing moisture. Properly fitted, breathable insoles are a safer choice.

3. Choose glasses or contact lenses according to your individual eye condition, and pay extra attention to hygiene in dusty or sweaty environments.

4. Whether jewelry or mosquito-repellent wristbands may be worn depends on the instructor’s and school’s rules.

03 Managing Common Discomforts

1. Heat Discomfort / Suspected Heatstroke

If you experience dizziness, nausea, palpitations, weakness, or similar symptoms, stop training immediately and inform the instructor. Move to a cool, well-ventilated area, loosen clothing, cool down, and rehydrate. If consciousness is impaired, vomiting persists, or symptoms are severe, contact medical staff immediately or call emergency services at 120.

2. Blisters on the Soles

Keep the area clean and minimize friction. Avoid puncturing the blister yourself whenever possible. If the blister is large, painful, red, swollen, or oozing, visit the campus clinic to reduce the risk of infection.

3. Dizziness or Fainting

Eat breakfast on time. If your vision darkens or you break out in a cold sweat, do not push through it—alert the instructor immediately and sit or lie down. If someone faints, make sure the area is safe, keep the airway clear, and call medical staff promptly. Do not force-feed food or water.

4. Sore Legs and Feet

Stretch gradually after training and allow adequate rest. A warm foot soak may help you relax. Seek medical attention promptly if you experience marked swelling, severe pain, or restricted movement.

If You Feel Unwell, Do Not Tough It Out

Inform your counselor and instructor in advance about any pre-existing condition, special health considerations, or menstrual discomfort. If eligible, follow the school’s procedure for exemption or deferred training. Your safety always comes first.
