Congrats, Marine.

I've got my teeth bared and balls afire to get this going.

Thank you, Sir.

I'm buckled in, all hands and legs are inside the vehicle...

I'm heading down to PI on June 7th, and I've never been more excited in my life. Anyone here I might see down there?

Any final, good advice for my new life/hell that's about to begin??

Of all the things to worry about...


Why don't you get yourself a nice, flock-of-seagulls haircut. I heard a rumor that DI's go easy on kids with those.

Thanks Sir!

Trust me, I have no objection to doing whatever it takes to get my daughter set. In fact, she's the reason I joined the Marines in the first place. Steady job/paycheck, intangible...

Thanks, Marines.

I've scoured that site pretty thoroughly and have garnered some of the answers I was looking for.

The documentation is going to be completed after boot camp. Currently, I'm...

After scanning through 12 pages of search results after looking up "insurance" on this site, I was unable to find any information pertaining to what I need.

Since it's tough for me to state my...

Hell Yeah.

Our Station (RSS BOSTON) swept the event, but I have to say, seeing all those Poolees from around the region together and echoing responses back to the CO was amazing.

Iron man...

OH THANK GOD!
:devious:

I joined to become a Hollywood Marine, but they're sending me to PI anyway, hahaha.... Just kidding, don't beat up the Poolee...

I got laid off, didn't have a full...

unless you have a gorilla grip, this sounds like a fast-track to a drop... but then again I've never tried it.

This is where I started. Each week, if I could do more, I would. DO NOT PUSH YOURSELF TOO HARD. Do what's tough, but comfortable.

Two Months Later, I'm now at almost at THIRTY pullups. My lats...

How I went from FOUR to TWENTY EIGHT Pullups in TWO MONTHS:

You've got seven days in a week. Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays were my pullup days. I did PT with my Poolees on Tuesday and...

I bet if you practice going all the way down, you'll never have to worry about that ;)

Also, I've found that its easier not to pace yourself. Explode as hard and as fast as your can during your timed IST crunches and keep your eyes open. The more your other senses are stimulated...

Make sure you move your ass as close to your heels as possible. When you're doing a crunch, make sure you're using proper form: Hands grasping biceps, elbows to thighs, shoulderblades touching the...

I love mind games. Can't wait to give it a go.

I found this to be a great post. The support shown by Marines towards someone who isn't yet one was... ok, I'll say it... touching. This post and others are reenforcing my belief that choosing the...

Yes Sir, that makes perfect sense. Sorry to be "that guy" asking about bonuses, but I'm just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row back home while I'm away.

Thanks for the replies!

Let's get two things straight before I complete this post:

1) I signed up for all the right reasons, and didn't even know I was getting a bonus until me recruiter had an "oh yeah, by the way"...

Thanks for the reply, SSgt.

My MOS is Crypto Linguist.

Just as a quick update, this very monrning I tried running "lower" to the ground while increasing my stride length and I just ran 3...

Luckily, peperoni pizza IS better than hamburger ;)

The video and subsequent thread were a damn riot!

Jensen,

I've just replied to the insulting, presumtuous private message you've sent me entitled "some life advice" about your thoughts on physical fitness, my appriciation for the advice of...

CAN'T WAIT!!

Thank you for the great advice. I will definitely incorporate swimming into my routine.

I also like the idea of running in sand with boots - I can only imagine how much easier pavement running...
