I was in 4006. Senior DI Ssgt Tracy, Sgt Byfield, Sgt Behrman. What's your last name?

Once again, thank you :) You all are awesome. This is a whole lot more support and motivation that I've gotten from family. I really needed it. It's gotten me back into my work outs and striving for...

You know I'm not quite sure, I know that it depends of what kind of hernia you have and how severe it is. I would try googling your injury and see what the average is. Good luck!

Thank you all for your motivational words. That's probably the first time anyone has said anything that nice since I got home. I have the highest respect for all Marines, even DI's.

I was in FRP, where injured recruits and also recruits that fail their IST go. The IST failures did PT with the DI's in FRP, for you it would be MRP, they did PT most days and worked with a Physical...

Thank you and that's very true and believe me there were plenty of those.

I guess all I can say to POOLEEs is just no matter how hard it gets during training, no matter how many times you get...

During receiving (the first 3-5 days you are on the Island) you do not sleep, there are receiving DI's (keep in my that these DI's are not the DI's that will be training you throughout boot camp,...

I am back from the Island and got sent home without my title...it's the worst feeling a recruit could ever endure. It feels like failure and tastes like disgust.

I was on PI for 31 days and half...

Thank you for the advice. Really, I needed some work-outs I could do outside of the gym. I completely forgot about leg lifts; I've been trying so hard to get to my max by just doing more crunches, I...

Females, any ideas on how to up my sit-up count in the next few weeks? So much PT to do before I leave, so little time.

Congratulations, Marine! What was the hardest week for you? And what week was the easiest?

Haha, yeah my recruiter said we could stop at every Carl's Jr. on the way up to MEPS and get me a good size burger. It's a 4.5 hour drive. So I'm sure that'd work if I could keep it all down. Haha....

Thank you, Sir. I need to work on my state of mind as much as my weight.

Well, I'll give it 1 week with the Ensure, multi-vitamin, extra calorie intake, less running, more lifting and alternating with the weight gainer and whey protein. One small 8 oz. bottle of Ensure is...

Thank you, Sir for the advice. I'm nervous but excited. Really, I'm just ready to go and give it my all. I will ask my recruiter what I need to know as far as all the knowledge stuff goes. I am bound...

Thank you. :)

Thank you for wishing me good luck, Ma'am. Also, thank you for that entire reply. I think it was the most honest and motivating 20-something sentences anyone has ever said to me, especially coming...

Wow, Marine DI's don't mess around. So would you say that the DI games were the worst part or the actual training? And I can only imagine what the first few days are like. I'm glad I asked and very...

I will try both methods. I think the heels next to my *** seems like it would work the best for me. Haha and alright I will knock off the planks.

Thank you, Ma'am for offering to answer my questions. Honestly? Anything and everything. Any tips or info you'd like to throw my way. I'm sure some of these things I can ask my recruiters on Monday...

That's what I'm psyching myself out about. Making it through. I get letters every day from a recruit and I know it's not going to be easy. I need to maybe discuss PI with some females to get a feel...

Thank you, Sir. That seems like a good run schedule to me. :thumbup:

And I wonder how safe creatine is for women to take. If it is safe, I'd be curious to know in what doses it is recommended....

Agreed and agreed. In my college child psychology classes we learned a similar theory to this. Every time we people say to ourselves, "Oh, I'm stupid or that was dumb of me..." We begin to believe...

That's the best way to help me when I'm running trying to get in that last mile. Singing or counting or, "I will not fail, I will not fail..." Don't know why I didn't think of it for the arm hang....

Good idea. I can do off the wall push-ups before bed and in the mornings. A friend of mine also recommended 5 push-ups at every entryway or doorway I come across throughout my day. It's working for...
