This was my favorite boot by far. Very comfortable, almost like wearing a running shoe! I purchased mine via the US Patriot website (Free Shipping!)

Army Fitness APFT Calculator (Nice to have handy to check scores)

Evernote (Stay organized and remember everything)

JBLM MWR (The MWR App for Joint Base Lewis McChord)

RunKeeper (Used to track runs, walks, hikes, etc.)

White Noise (Drown out external noise and helps with better sleep)
