Hey everyone, I have a question regarding my Pre-ship IST that my recruiting station requires BEFORE the MEPs IST. I ship out the 29th of July 2013. Now I do meet the minimum requirements for the pull ups portion of the IST. As of now I can do 4 pull ups. The IST requires a minimum of 2 Pull ups. My recruiter tell me that he wants me up to 5 pull ups before I ship out. So essentially I am worried about not being able to ship out. I can do 90 sit ups for sure under 2 minutes, and a 11:50 mile and a half run. I know the recruiters have the ability to raise the standard to what they see fit, but of course not lower the standard. Since I can do fairly well with the other two portions of the IST, do you believe they will cut me some slack and let me ship, or not? Or do you guys (Marines - there are female Marines on this forum also, me being one of them) possibly have a tip for me to put out that last pull up needed in order to ship in a week?
I know I'm probably going to get lots of **** for only being able to knock out 4 pull ups, but please give me your thoughts. Thank you for reading
