Hello and Good Afternoon
Jacob Here
I'm leaving June 6th for Parris island, I'm both nervous and stressed about it.
Questions I have
1. If you are able to just pass the IST, Is it possible to get through Recruit Training? I know it's going to be hard for me, but is it possible? (Reason is because I have 13:30 for the Run, I can do more then 10 Pull ups.. i can only do 26 Crunches)
2. I won't ask any tips of training because I already have a lot of tips from previous threads. But I'm curious how other poolees or Marines Run Until They Puke.. When i try to do that; I just get tired and stop.. Is that the mind thinking that i'm tired or am i actually tired?
3. I have read many post's and join'd other forums and actually look'd at pictures of Parris Island.. It dawn'd on me, to ask Will they teach us how to do something before actually telling us? (They will teach us to crawl, and then walk, and then jog, and then Run)..
4. I have a abnormal sized head (Meaning I can't wear regular sized hats [whether it be Motorcycle, Bicycle, or Baseball/Football] Will they have hats for me? or what?
5. I may be the first (For a while) to be on the island with/out a Drivers License. Is this a good or bad thing? (I will have a ID though)
6. I'm not ready, no one is ready for USMC Recruit Training. I know I need to work on a lot of things but yet Sometimes My Motivation Comes and Goes.. Is this normal?
My Profile is Fill'd out Correctly (I Think)
