I hear you on that, and I'm all about giving it 110% during PT, but after about half a mile of full-on sprinting my body just starts to naturally slow down. Even when I dig down deep and try to push...

Yeah, it turns out I was just taking the wrong approach to running. I was just going all out and forcing myself through most of the run, instead of pacing myself. Today I took the first 800m slow,...

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the 100m sprints idea. Timed my mile and a half today at 11:45!

Hey guys, I wanted to give a quick update on a workout I just did before my morning run. If you try it, give it 110%, and it'll give you that "just got IT'd" feeling. It's a nice warm-up before a run...

Hey, thanks for the help! I'm going to incorporate this into my workouts and hopefully I'll start seeing some results! My mile and a half time has been stuck around 13 minutes for a while now.

Haha no apology needed! That's a great run time! I'm still trying to get under 24:00 minutes, but I've never been a very strong runner. Do you have a steady running plan that you use? And if you do...

Glad I could help! I'm not sure what your current fitness level is, but be sure you ease into the program if you haven't been working out regularly before now. Nothing worse than an injury to set...

I was exactly the same way when I started out! I could hardly run/walk a mile and now I'm covering ground quickly with no problems. Keep up the hard work and good luck!

Hey poolees,

If any of you were members on this site a few years ago, you may remember how lively this forum used to be. Poolee Hall had new threads and posts almost daily, and now it looks like a...

The MOS listings for fy14 aren't available online yet, but the list from 2013 is still up. This years list should be similar, if not exactly the same as the last one. I don't think we are allowed to...

Wow, that is some serious dedication. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to be my platoon's guide, but if not, I hope to pass on as much knowledge to the other recruits as I can during the early...

Thank you both very much! I definitely plan on staying in school until I leave for boot camp and will continue to take classes while on active duty if possible.

ASVAB: 70
MOS: 3531 Motor T Operator

Ship Date: 20131216

IST:
Pullups - 8
Crunches - 89

I wish I could ship sooner, but at least I have time to work on my IST scores. Ideally I'd like my run time to be around...

Thank you, sir!

I've filled out the appropriate profile information now.

Hi Marines,

I thought I'd give you all another update. After getting my waiver approved to go to MEPS, I discovered that I had to get two additional waivers before being allowed to swear in. I'm...

Good morning Marines,

It looks like my persistence over the past couple of years has payed off. I'm good to go and heading to MEPS next week to take my new ASVAB, physical, and swear in. It seems...

Thanks for all of the encouragement, Marines!

I've been told by my recruiter to expect an answer by the end of this week. They could say yes, no, or choose to send it to a med review board. (I...

I had a virus that caused me to cough up blood. I was never told exactly what virus it was...

I agree that I've been a bit scatter brained lately. Sorry for not being a little more detailed in my original post.

I've been to Marine Corps recruit training before, but I was sent home after...

Hi again Marines,

I doubt anyone is really interested in this thread or my situation, but I thought I'd go ahead and give an update. I've been cleared by 3 specialists to re-enter the Marine Corps...

Thank you for the advice, sir. Accepting the scholarship definitely seems like the logical choice to make. However, I just can't stop dwelling on the fact that I didn't graduate boot camp and become...

Greetings Marines,

A little bit of background info on myself: I am a 21 year old college student that was medically discharged from MCRD Parris Island in 2010. The day I was separated from recruit...
