I go Monday so what I've got is what it's going to be:

Pull Ups: 20
Crunches: 85
1.5mi: 11:48

3mi: 24:19 (cut it 1:40 from one day to the next!! :))

My mistake, thank you Marine!

Just to clarify I wasn't planning on getting it before I am in the Corps, I've got less than 2 weeks until I go to Parris Island.

I noticed it was posted in the Marine Parent forum but I don't think I'm allowed to post there and I was wondering about this as well.

What hoops do I have to jump through to get lasik/PRK done by...

Right now I'm running an IST every day and doing 10 pull ups any time I exit or enter my room (shot up 2 pull ups in 2 days doing that).
I WAS doing PFTs but I got lazy over Christmas and New Years...

haha, I ran cross country in 8th grade and I had BOXERS that were longer than my XC shorts (didn't wear them simultaneously) so I got used to it. They still suck though.

No crap :confused: . The sign going in said "Take nothing but pictures, Leave Nothing but Footprints"... bummer because on the way out my little bro was toting along his 1911 when we spotted a big...

Just finished a 4.5mi hike (both ways so 9mi total) in Virgin Falls, TN last week. 800ft change in elevation, down on the way in, up on the way out. Had to carry a tent, sleeping bag, change of...

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I'll be sure to let him know. He's hellbent on getting me something (jealous as crap that I'm going in first too) might as well be something I can use.

So... I dont pay for uniforms? Or they get taken out of my pay? I have a friend who's currently a wannabe (trying to help change that) who's insisting on buying me a pair of Danners after boot, hope...

Thanks Marines, I guess I can figure about another $1600 after MCT and MOS too. Maybe more since I'll have uniforms out of the way but I like to be conservative. After training I go on reserve pay.

Any Marines here remember what their total initial expenditures on uniforms were after boot?

May be bad luck but I'm just trying to figure up how much spare dough I'm going to have at my disposal...

I've met the other Poolees once, the day after I did MEPS. They are four hours southeast of me now. I remember two last names, Duncan she was a cheerleader so that's probably why I remember :p, and...

No, compared to you guys my RSS is pretty weak. But the stuff yall are describing sounds a lot like what my high school wrestling coach did/does.

Summer camp was sleeping on the mats in the...

Got 19 pull ups today, I smell 25 a' comin'... just give me another week. Also got 100 crunches in a minute forty eight, working on getting that 1.5 mile down into the 9's and the 3 mile down to 20,...

And thank you sir, that's exactly the info I was looking for sir.

I don't think it's wrong but I have better reasons for joining the Corps.

To avoid any confusion I DID NOT join the Corps for money or benefits, period. I could stay in college and start making loads more money as soon as I graduate.

I have a reserve contract (plan to...

I'm a member of a forum for gun nuts that has the same "Search First" policy.

BTW, I PM'd thedrifter and never got a reply. I don't want to be a pest messaging someone over and over again so I...

HELL YES, SIR!!! The words quit, can't, and couldn't are not a part of this poolee's vocabulary!! This poolee never starts anything he doesn't intend to finish completely sir!!

So you're going to have a PhD (Permanent head Damage)? :D Or do you have to write theses for your BS/BA and Masters too? Just finished my Geography exam btw, that class was God awful boring, glad I...

I was/am studying for exams, I was just on a little intermission. I knew the chat session was going on but tomorrow's a busy day and I can't get bogged down, I'll lose my HOPE scholarship if I don't...

What worked for me was A) When I didn't have a pull up bar I did LOTS of Lat Pull downs, like 6 sets of 12-15 with about 130lbs on there daily and B) Finally getting a pull up bar and just making...

Thanks Marines, it's nice to finally get some decent advice on this topic. I feel a little more confident that I'll shoot well now.

Thanks again,

Thanks, also I do nearly everything right handed except shooting, I am left eye dominant so I shoot left handed. I've practiced both ways and I shoot about as well right handed as left but I have to...
