The latter, mount bar, pull, then rest (time starts).

Honestly I haven't worked with anybody that hasn't been able to do at least one pull up (there are all kinds of programs out there to get you...

Well, I'll shoot you straight... the only school on your list that is a realistic option without being recon is one of the Mountain courses (mountain leaders, survival, etc.). SERE school is a real...

Well you sound motivated but I would like to know more about what you have heard about how you 'can take all the training that Recon does without actually being Recon'.

The biggest thing when starting out is making sure you have perfect form. If you are making sure that every rep counts you will start to see that just doing pull ups correctly will get you few more...

I remember getting weekend libo after the first week or two. You can go pretty much wherever (off base) as long as you are back Sunday morning. Liberty can get secured real easy if you have a bunch...

How wide is a 'wide grip'? You really don't want grip any more than just outside of shoulder width. Losing some weight would definitely help if you are a bigger guy but you won't see any real...

Might be a talibaner, OPSEC

Man, I remember looking through similar stuff years ago. Yeah, that workout is a pretty good example of what not to do in my opinion (although he does have a lot of good stuff, just have to pick...

If you are already doing 16 I would start with 3 or 4 depending on how it feels for you. I would also do the weighted ones in the middle of the week. You can improve in boot camp, your muscles will...

Ever since I first joined the Marine Corps I searched high and low for all the latest and greatest pull up programs. After trying hundreds of different ones, I found what worked best for me and for...

Friggin FAST Marines, anyone know if they are still doing EMIO? Us regular grunts had to give up that mission to go to Afghan.

I've hated reservists ever since graduation from SOI. I remember looking at all of them in civvies getting hugs and kisses from their families getting ready to head home, while we were all getting...

Haha, open contract. I'm glad that you didn't take the initiative and follow up. I know for me I made damn well sure that I was going to become a grunt. Double checked paperwork, hounded my...

I heard the same **** when I got to the fleet. Everyone said all of us boot 0351's (either closed out or always had one of the most ridiculous cutting scores) would be terminal Lance's... and I got...

Thanks for the lowdown 'Agent Johnson', you been there? Our battalion had our share of hell in the Korengal Valley and all through Kunar / Laghman Provinces. Check out Victory Point by Ed Darack if...

It's ridiculous how awards have been and still continue to be issued in all the branches, particularly the Marine Corps. From my experience the army hands out bronze stars like they are candy. I hate...

Google "Pogue". Enjoy.

I was a chainsmoking sum***** when I went to boot, was lazy beforehand and relied on my previous 'athleticism' to carry me through. I hadn't ran 3 miles in probably 2 years or so before I went. It...

Hmmm, tough situation. If you have been diagnosed with Asthma it doesn't matter if it has never affected you, (I am not a recruiter btw) but I am 100% sure that you can't enlist if you have asthma....

Yes 03XX is Infantry. There are a number of different specialties in that MOS field from Rifleman, Mortarman, Machinegunner, to LAV Crewman.
I understand your enthusiasm, but in my time in I came...

Go 0300 and thank me later. Best 'job' in the Corps.

So I'm guessing 0300 Infantry is out of the question? There will be plenty of things to take with you if you decide to get out after 4. If all the high-speed stuff really entices you, 'regular'...

Life in the Marine Corps is stressful enough without a wife, you add that to the mix and the both of you are going to make it extremely difficult on each other. If you just can't wait and think it is...

I'll add to that, don't even think about getting married until you are about 30. Seriously.

0300 Infantry

Don't let anyone try to tell you that Infantry skills won't help out a resume. Trust me, you lead Marines in a combat zone as an Infantry Squad Leader and companies will be fawning...
