I will be attending PJOC in less than a month. I have read everything there is and watched everything there is on PJOC. I was wondering if anyone could tell me any info or war stories

I went eons ago, but I still think it and HMRS were the best experiences in all my time in CAP. Keep you mouth shut, your eyes and ears open and have a great time.
NM or AZ? I just talked to a cadet who had been to NM, he said it was some of the hardest stuff he's done. Now, I don't know how much hard stuff he'd done before, but he seemed like a pretty hardcore dude. Anyway, I would think that everything you NEED to know is already out there. Many cadets who have been to the activity are hush-hush because they claim they don't want to spoil the fun for those who plan to attend; so don't be surprised if there isn't anyone willing to share their stories.
Keep in mind that the altitude in NM is about a mile up, so exercising will be more strenuous. Practice early, and often.

For those who have gone, did y'all use the provided PT schedule, or did you just take the PFE and work on your weak points?

You would best advised to follow what they sent you. It's not their first time.
Ended up making the cut at PJOC and am thinking about going to APJOC or the Hawk Mountain Medical Course. Any thoughts?
Why not try and do both? HMRS usually has a much bigger number of slots, so going for an "alternate" slot as a second option still often results in being able to go if you can swing the costs.
