Hello everyone. I am a PFC and was unsure where to post this. I am at MOS school in Missouri at the moment and my fiance's father is terminally ill. He will probably be passing within a few days. I...

Thanks everyone for your tips. I have tried the sitting down and not stopping until I got 100 crunches. It took me 9 minutes. In my defense I was talking and not really going for time and I had to...

Sorry for posting again but it would not let me re-edit my previous post. I have been practicing my endurance with crunches by trying to do them for 1 minute straight. Usually my problem is I do...

I ship in two weeks and I have a big problem. My crunches are and have been at 65 for 2 minutes since I joined DEP (they may have started at 40). Anyway I need helpful tips on ways of increasing the...

Thank you for your replies, but I have been on Minocycline though and Doxycycline (same class of medication) prior to Accutane. They didn't work. Those are antibiotics. Accutane isn't an...

Random question that I was thinking about. Accutane is used for the treatment of acne if you didnt know and a side effect is supposed to be depression... That being said, I went on it for 5-6...

PCP is the Physical Conditioning Platoon or Pork chop Platoon, whatever floats your boat...

I have a kind of random question. First thing is that I am blind. I can't see clearly 10 feet in front of me without my glasses. Knowing that, I don't know if I should bring my broken glasses to...

Me too. About a month and a half left. Getting anxious/nervous. Wondering what I did. But staying motivated.

I cannot stress this enough. This is the best tip. I bought one from CVS for dirt cheap (usually costs $25 or $30 but I had a coupon). I started off at Christmas doing only 9 pull ups and now I am...

lmao. I laughed

I told the recruiter everything. I remember saying I wanted to wait a year before enlisting to pay off loans and then he said I could leave in August so I signed. I guess I will bring it up next...

I have a weird question. I went to college for a year and a half and have about 7-8k worth of debt in my name and about 7-8 k more under my name with my mom as a cosigner (so I guess you can...

I think it is due to improper form. I would put my arms too low and it would cause a weird bend to occur. I might have been doing the bear crawl wrong too, which is why my wrist hurt. I don't...

I have had a pain in my wrist during/after push ups for the past year or so (since I have been doing push ups). I figured it is due to the placement of my hands because it hurts less when I place...

I was told that you DO become a LCpl if you get 2 referrals in DEP if you are starting out as a PFC. I would be going in as a PFC due to college credits and my recruiter tells me to try and get a...

Ha, no. I round down. I can do 17 (did 18 a few times but not consistent). So..... Has anyone heard of this kind of bonus?

Fixed

I was wondering if any recruiters have given out bonuses for having a Poolee refer someone. My recruiter said I can get 10k if I refer someone by the end of this month and said that if I help tutor...

Is there anything that they look for in specific though? I want to make myself an optimal candidate, not just another person applying for that position. Wondering if there is anything that I...

I'm leaving for boot camp in late August. I choose 3500 for my MOS field in hopes of becoming a mechanic. Any tips on how to ensure that I become a mechanic and not a driver? Being a mechanic is...

I guess I'll be seeing you this coming up March 14th then?

No, I took the semester off. I might see you for the functions every month. I don't know where the main recruiting office is for you, but the main office here is in Bridgeport, if its the same then...

*Accidental double post*

I am new to this site and recently enlisted into DEP (leaving in August). I was wondering if there were any Poolees in the Southwestern part of CT that wanted to go out and pt daily or something. I...
