After six months on Parris Island due to a stress fracture in my left tibia, I graduated from 1st Battalion, Alpha Company, platoon 1030. I can't describe the euphoria, it feels incredible. Every...

I'm a Marine.

I earned my title today. After being on the Island for 6 months because I was dropped to MRP for a stress fracture in the left tibia. I started 3rd Battallion, Kilo Company, Platoon...

So. MCRD Parris Island, 3rd Battalion, Kilo Company. It took almost 2 years, a unbelievable stroke of good luck (with my medical waiver) and a lot of work but finally I'm privileged with the...

Damn, MEPS takes it out of you. Anyway, leaving in about 2 days!

You'll do fine. Take your friend's advice but also remember to stretch, or you will be in a ****-load of pain for no reason. I guess we WONT be seeing each other at the Airport after all. Right now....

Are you ready man? Few more days, bro!

Ouch. Wow. That's unfortunate. Well, 2 weeks longer to prepare I guess. Yeesh though. You were pumped.

Push-up Form (for those of you who aren't familiar): Arms shoulder width apart, with palms (not fists) flat on the deck, back should be firm and straight, and legs should be together, but not...

Just want to throw this out there! I know the Marine Corps is big on pull-ups and that's the backbone of our PT, but don't skimp on the push-ups! Understand that just because you can accomplish over...

Out-****ing-standing improvement. How long did it take?

I'd give it another week man...you wont feel it during the run, but when you've completed it, you may regret it. A week won't kill your runtime. You can work your legs without aggravating your...

Since it hasn't been answered directly, yes you can. You're not obligated to ship out to bootcamp unless you get the contract you want. If you want to kick in the door, waving the four-four...go...

Or how about a "no" run this week? A sprained ankle isn't the way to go. Ice it and keep it elevated. Running will only enhance it, and not in a desirable way. Take it easy, man.

Dude one more week and I've got a crazy shin-splint. I'm working on it though. lol. I just came from a very mini-workout at the gym (1/2 an hour) just doing weighted pull-ups (20 lbs). I should've...

Future brother. Improvise. Think about it.

Thanks bro. You know what's motivating? I'm not a giant dude. I'm in shape, I have a 6 pack, I've got muscles, but by no standards am I built looking. I'm STRONG, or at least, I believe myself to be...

Thank you. I had a bad day. I don't doubt myself. I could blame the extremely cold weather in my lungs. I could say I haven't been training for my runtime in a while, which is true. Obviously, the...

Oh yes! Good luck Californiakid, we ship the same day, different MCRDs.

Alright, November 15th males (MCRDPI) don't quote me, but I looked up the schedule and if I understood it correctly, we'll...

See, that's the thing. I ship out to bootcamp in a WEEK, so I need to get good to go NOW or suck it up later. I'll do the ice and Ibu, and I'll stretch this entire week. Hopefully they wont make me...

I'm shipping out in a week and I ran my IST at Long Island today. If there's one thing I hate more than fat people who aren't trying to change themselves...it's shin-splints. Today was the first day...

That's pretty cool. Couple of kids from my RS couldn't DEP in because of their Tats so they went down the block to the army...both of them passed by the other day and they had army backpacks. Hadn't...

Like JC8701 said, you're recruiter will know a lot more about this than poolees would. I've never heard of any sort of point waiver. Whenever someone at my RS failed the test or wanted a better...

Riiight. Well you are welcome and good IST scores...but if you're going to keep that format I'll just change mine. Anyway, good to go. I know how it is to wait a long time, now you're sworn in so go...
