What to do if blisters appear on your feet during military training

Military training is a form of training that every school provides to students who have just entered higher education. However, many people get blisters on their feet very easily because it is their first time to undergo military training and because they need to march for a long time during the training. If this situation is not dealt with in a timely manner, the military training in the next few days will be unforgettable for everyone. So, what should you do if you get blisters on your feet during military training?

What should I do if I get blisters on my feet during military training? Why do my feet swell during military training?

1. Be prepared

(1) Prepare a band-aid in advance

We must prepare these things before going to military training to avoid being unable to bear the strain on our feet. The first thing we need to prepare is Band-Aids. If blisters form on your feet or if your feet are injured by shoes, you can use Band-Aids to relieve the pain. Band-Aids can also be used on other injured parts, so it won’t be a bad idea to have some Band-Aids on hand.

(2) Prepare insoles in advance

Why do we need to prepare some insoles? First of all, during military training, not only the soles of the feet may be worn out, but the soles of the feet may also be very painful. This may be because you stand at attention for a long time, or you do not exercise much in your daily life. Therefore, many people will experience pain in the soles of their feet. It is recommended that you put two pairs of insoles in your shoes first. This will prevent symptoms of foot pain later.

(3) Soak your feet more often every day

Also, it is best to soak your feet after coming back from military training every day. Because the feet are always in a strenuous posture during military training, the blood circulation in the feet will be obstructed and the muscles in the feet will be tense, which will cause symptoms of foot pain later. If you soak your feet in hot water after returning home every day, it can help relieve the pain, and you will recover after a night's sleep.

2. How to protect yourself from the sun during military training

(1) Sunscreen is a must

The most indispensable item for sun protection during military training is of course sunscreen, but many people say, why do I get tanned even though I use sunscreen? That means you are using the wrong method. First of all, it is best to apply a layer of isolation cream before using sunscreen on your face to reduce the damage of sunscreen to the skin. Then, it is not enough to apply sunscreen once a day. It is best to apply it every two hours. We can carry sunscreen with us and reapply it during breaks. Also, it is not enough to use sunscreen only on the face, but all exposed skin on the body needs to be applied with sunscreen.

(2) Wear socks neatly

The uniform for military training is basically a short-sleeved top with long pants, and then Liberation shoes, but you can choose your own socks. Many people wear very short socks at this time like usual, exposing their ankles. In fact, there is no need to pay attention to fashion during military training. It is best to wear darker socks and wrap up your ankles to avoid getting tanned. After the military training, there is plenty of time to expose your ankles. The best way to protect yourself from the sun is to cover your skin with clothes. For areas that cannot be covered, you can only use sunscreen!

3. Things to bring for military training

(1) Sunscreen

When it comes to things you need to prepare for military training, you have to be careful about sunscreen. Because military training is basically conducted outdoors and is exposed to the sun for a long time, sunscreen must be prepared. During military training, it is best to prepare a sunscreen that can block outdoor ultraviolet rays, so as to achieve better sun protection effect.

(2) Heatstroke prevention medicine

The function of anti-heat medicine is to prevent and treat heatstroke. Many students lack exercise and have poor physical fitness. The intensity of exercise during military training is relatively high, and they need to stay outdoors in the sun for a long time for training, so it is very easy to get heatstroke. Bringing anti-heatstroke medicine can prevent and treat heatstroke, so it is still necessary to bring it.

(3) Floral water

Many people think that military training only lasts until the afternoon, but in fact there are training activities at night, and night is the time when mosquitoes come out in large numbers. If you don’t want to be bitten, you might as well bring a bottle of toilet water and spray some before evening training to repel mosquitoes.

(4) Soft insole

The reason why we ask everyone to prepare soft insoles is that the training content during military training, such as standing at attention, marching in step, etc., mostly relies on the feet, and in order to standardize and standardize the movements, instructors generally need to teach in steps, so it is common to step on the ground with one foot during military training. A pair of soft insoles can make the feet much more comfortable.

(6) Powder for prickly heat

Even if you have done a good job of sun protection and heat protection during military training, prickly heat will sometimes still appear quietly. After getting prickly heat, you will feel extremely uncomfortable when training under the sun, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause damage to the skin. So in order to prevent yourself from getting hurt, you need to bring prickly heat powder.
