Hey guys, quick question.

[FullMetalFuture]

I am still needing to lose quite a bit more weight, but I am now able to run 3 miles and do the situps and pushups. Are there any kind of exceptions that can be made? I dont care to be on diet trays. I just want to go and earn my keep.

What about pull-ups?

[DGardner]

Don't rely on waivers... exceptions.. whatever you want to call them... Just get down to the weight you need to be.

I am able to do 3 pullups. The only reason I am curious about waivers is because Im ready to go, but if I have to lose it as a civilian thats fine too. Im 24 and the clock is tickin!

What is your body fat percentage?

[FullMetalFuture]

Honestly I'm not sure Cpl. I will find out. Do you know where I can find a reference to compare myself to once I know?

I went to bootcamp at 2 pounds under my max ship weight and throughout bootcamp I lost over 50lbs. I was a diet recruit for a couple months but it was never held against me. I was still squad leader once I could stay in the runs and I was thrashed more often but that was good for me anyways. Make sure you can run a good PFT and get down to your proper weight or body fat and just go and give it your all. Here is a link to a body fat calculator. You need to measure your neck and your waist. Make sure you measure your waist just below your belly button. http://www.linear-software.com/online.html

Google it or do a search on here. There have been discussions about weight and fitness so use the tools!

Keep up the moto, and the training, get your weight down and don't worry about your age. I had a 33 Lance Corporal show up once, that was an interesting conversation.

Thank you Corporal.

I am still needing to lose quite a bit more weight, but I am now able to run 3 miles and do the situps and pushups. Are there any kind of exceptions that can be made? I dont care to be on diet trays. I just want to go and earn my keep.

Hey Guys, Hey Marines sounds better.:evilgrin:

[FullMetalFuture]

You're right it does, but then that would mean I wasnt addressing poolees or Marine Friends who could also offer advice.

Get your butt into the swimming pool. Regularly. Swim hard and then swim some more. Your whole body is working to move mass through the heavy drag of water. Excellent work out. If you swim hard enough, you can still feel yourself sweat in an olympic pool.


You'll burn calories and improve your pull-ups. Plus swimming is a skill we test anyway.
