Prior to shipping out to basic training, Marine Recruits must meet different (more strict) weight standards, known as the "Retention Weight Standards." Recruits who exceed the Retention Weight Standards can still ship out to basic training, if any of the following conditions are met:Within 5 percent of retention weight standards: If the recruit passes the IST, he can ship to basic training with no waiver.<table border="1" width="400"> <tbody><tr> <td colspan="2"> </td> <td colspan="3">

I know it's a long post, but I hope it helps you out! I googled "waivers for MArine Corps IST" and got this info! :marine:
We had 10 or 11 people fail the IST and they kept them on. We even had 6 people fail the initial PFT and recruits couldn't even do pullups till 3rd phase.
Well Cpl. that chart is wrong. I thought my Max ship weight was 221.Quote:

Looking back on the thread, came along way in two months.
I took score at MCRD SD for the IST for new recruits, out of 88, there was 8 failed the IST and had to go to the pork chop platoon. 6 was for pullups, 2 i believe was for runnings.
So Moto. How's life man? Any new goals you have?
I'm a poolee and ship in June. I'm running a 12 minute 1.5, 90 crunches, and 7 pull ups. When I first entered the DEP, however, I was running a 15+ minute 1.5, 40 crunches, and 3 pull-ups. Half of my initial poor performance was due to poor form... but I've also lost a fair amount of body-fat and put on some muscle in it's place. I was skinny to begin with though, 6' and 170 pounds. My weight hasn't changed, but my fitness definitely has.
I heard, however, from my brother whom has been a Marine for nearly four years now, that the average 'fitness' level of new recruits was as follows: 6 pull-ups, 70-80 crunches, and a 12 minute mile and a half. He himself was around that level of fitness, with the exception that he was actually running a 16 minute 1.5 mile when he was shipped, as his recruiters lied for him or something. He might be exaggerating, but he did have asthma and even to this day is a terrible runner so maybe not. I have no reason to believe he didn't graduate on time, nor was he put in PCP that I know of, so not really sure what went on with all that.
I was put into the DEP sometime around September, giving me roughly 10 months of time to prepare myself mentally and physically. Have tried repeatedly to move that ship date up with no success. Apparently the Marines isn't having any trouble filling seats at the moment. Brother shipped out exactly one month from the date that he got back from MEPS, even though he too initially was going to need to wait half a year. He was a bit more persuasive with his recruiter I suppose, and had a more desperate desire to ship quickly and get out of the house. Short lived.
My personal goals, with now only 2 more months of time to prepare myself further for boot camp, is an 11 minute 1.5 mile, 10 pull-ups, and 100+ crunches. I feel as though this level of fitness will enable me to have a small edge on training and enable me to not worry so much about keeping up and instead focus on more important things such as being a leader and a reliable and smart recruit.
