Well, this is exactly what they did in my case.

Both of my recruiter's wanted to push me through. It was the SNCOIC who made the final call to separate me from the DEP after watching me run at...

**** Final Update ****

The phrase, "If I can do it, anyone can," is something overused in our society. Of that I am sure.

I heard a female Marine say that once in regards to joining the Corps...

***UPDATE!***

Upon returning from vacation I made two appointments with my physical therapist while waiting to get in with my orthopedic surgeon.

My therapist did another extensive evaluation...

Thank you. This is sound advice. I'm waiting for a call back from the doctor's office to get an appointment.

I agree that my pain and experiences seem to be more than just benign, normal muscular...

Talked to my recruiter this morning and, again, he dismissed everything saying it was probably just tendonitis and that I'll get over it.

He also said my biggest mistake was going to physical...

Zulu, those were my exact thoughts. If I can't go a couple of miles with body weight, how am I supposed to handle mile after mile of humping full gear?

I already have an appointment to go back and...

Back in October of '09 I decided I wanted to join the Marine Corps Reserves. With the support of my family I started the ball rolling.

I also started exercising immediately but had to stop...

It's been updated now.

Every Thursday.

You are more than welcome to come and watch me do my situps/crunches.

Perhaps then you could see that nothing is impossible. I assure you that my shoulders are more than appropriately hunched....

Last night I did one whopping pull up but 69 seconds on the hang.

Way back in the beginning, when I first walked into my recruiter's office back in September of last year, he gave me this big long speech about how the men and women train the same and how the only...

I have to do situps because I have a long torso.

No matter how low I try to place my arms, in order for them to touch my thighs I have to do a full sit up.

I talked to a friend of mine (who...

Why not 200? ;)

Well, tonight I did 75 (35 of which I did while holding a 5 lbs weight to my chest (my husband's idea)). Another tip from him was to do a set of ten, do a short one or two second rest where I relax...

At my IST at MEPS I only did 42 crunches despite my best efforts and despite the fact that just a week earlier I had done 75.

I was baffled.

My husband thought it might be a form issue and said...

Another Reservist here. My husband has a great, stable job that is about three times what my salary would be and we have a 1 1/2 year old little boy, a house, the whole nine yards. We would be taking...

I work out. Take care of my house, my husband, my son. I do laundry, vacuum, run to appointments, pay bills, clean, organize..

I hurt my knees and am going to physical therapy so I'm very glad...

I found this while I was looking for info on my MOS school. It has the MOS numbers, locations of schools and length of the school. It's useful for those who want to know exactly how long their school...

Even if your recruiter tells you it's okay to keep your regular ship date I would ask to have it pushed back.

That close to having your cast on you are going to need to build back strength...

I've learned that by myself I don't do diddly. I'm also not as challenged as when I work out in a group. I just have way too much to do at home. With a baby and a home to take care of, if I'm in my...

Here is the whole, single document of all seven Marine Corps History Enabling Learning Objectives and the answers.

Hope this helps some poolees out. My fingers are exhausted but it served as a...

There.. I made another thread. Marine Corps History Enabling Learning Objectives.

Hopefully that's the kind of quiz you are looking for.

I'll post the answers later on tonight. Let's see how...
