I am an eastern Pennsylvania resident and have been talking to my local recruiter about joining the SMCR. After a tough few months researching the various MOS's the Marine Corps offers, I became...

Nice work, Shayla. Keep up the energy. You've got nothing but time to get into fantastic shape. Don't forget to study, too. A Marine's best asset is her brain.

Browse around bodybuilding.com for some of their BMR calculators. When you find out your maintenance calories for the day, limit yourself to 500 calories less than maint. each day. Do this for a...

If you're very serious about training for the Corps, my advice to you would be to make some money and get a decent pair of running shoes. Fitted for your feet would be double plus good as your shoes...

Good man. You need another kick in the a$$ and we're all right here to keep you going.

Sorry, guys, I just was referring to something the Army or the Navy use. Physical profile, I linked to what it is, is a series of numbers that rates you based on your skeletal/muscular system, eyes,...

Robert, this is part of the test. Are you gonna quit? Be honest with yourself and buck up. One lb. isn't anything and it has no bearing on you becoming one of The Few. You know this is what you...

Hey there, Jason. As I am not a Marine, I can't really answer many of your questions except with info I've seen around this site. Concerning a promotion to Lcpl, I've never heard about that. I'd...

Um, I'm not sure if this is just the Army or not...but here's a link to what I am talking about :

Well, I meant the numbers, eg. 222211

Quick question : does anyone know the physical profile requirements for a Rifleman?

Hello Brittany. Just wanted to drop you some support. It seems to me that you've come to an important crossroads in your life and you're about to make a wise decision.

When I decided that I...

Yea, as I said before, it feels that making the mother cry is the absolute hardest part of this decision. I understand where she's coming from...but at the same time, she's gotta realize that you...

Running builds character ;) I have a feeling that your not wanting to embarass yourself will probably be moto enough. Don't worry about it and just pace yourself. I'll push myself extra hard on my...

I'm glad you all resurrected this thread. It's good to see other people are in the same situation as I am.

My mother thinks I am suicidal and my father doesn't respect anyone without a...

Good response, Dave. I'm pretty motivated now and am going to go have a good run in honor of reason #25.

Awesome, stay moto and don't come back too hard.

Well put, poolee. Sounds to me like you've got the Eye of the Tiger. Stay hungry and get more family time. You should print out what you wrote here and keep it with you during Boot.

Hahahaha I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed too. It's good moto for me too as I'm bigger than you and you rock me in all departments ;) As far as the advice I read above, eating 6 small meals...

Very awesome work so far! Keep your chin up and rock BC.

Hello Mass. I did a little bit of research a few months ago when I started running. An interesting fact I found was that during exercise, your blood is fully saturated with oxygen. The part that...

Will do Justin.

Awesome, good luck to you in your journey, Tod.
