Hey Allen,

I know it's been a while since this thread has been posted in but hoping you're still around and active with it here is some advice and knowledge. I went in as an AG contract. You are...

Calext,

These Marines hit the nail square on. I joined at 25 and turned 26 not too long after. The young Marines are extremely annoying and have boatloads of growing up to do. Hearing them...

Thanks Marines. I am now in Pensacola with MATSG waiting to class up for Aircrew.

No I can't remember her name. It was two last names put together haha. Thanks for the replies Marines.

I would like to thank all who helped with any questions or posted useful information prior to me leaving! Recruit training was quite an experience. I will post pictures later.

MCRD Parris Island,...

If you are referring to the AFQT score, I can't really remember what it was. My line scores needed for that particular MOS field however were "through the roof" according to the Liaison. MM mainly.

My first IST was:

P/U- 17
Crunches- 96
Run- 10:45

Needless to say I had already been training and doing some good crossfit exercizes prior to it. But I'm very happy with my improvements...

Ran another IST yesterday. Crunches went up from 156 to 172. Didn't get any better on the pullups and run though. Keep up the good work Brian!

I have a rotary wing crew chief contract. I'm quite excited I must say. I will more than likely be working with some of my brothers friends. He is a 1st LT. They are all pilots, fixed wing and...

Little bump needed. How is everybody doing? I picked up a couple more pullups and a better run time. Sig is updated.

I really want that 18 minute 3 mile. Everything else is good to go for a perfect PFT score.

:devious::flag:

My IST is also in the signature. I'm shooting for a 300 PFT so the only thing I need to buckle down is a 3 mile run.

For some odd reason I always thought it was a "don't need" instead of a "not allowed" thing for vehicles during MOS school. Good thing that's cleared up. Looks like I'm just going to have to be...

Thanks alot for the replies so far Marines. It seems to be a bit of a balancing act because I know I definitely want to buy another bike. I don't know exactly how my MOS school will be down in...

Hello Marines!:flag:

I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read this, up front. I searched all over this site and couldn't find anything on it. Here's the deal, years ago in my...

Potential discharge?

Same boat, minus the lumberjack status. I'm 7-8 years older than everyone, and I tower over all but one. At least it seems that way especially when we go to the gym and I see them and I standing in...

Welp, it didn't help me much that I decided to try this at the end of my normal workout. Rolled a 7:10 on this one boys. I'll try it without doing other stuff next time. That should help.

6:24

^^^ Correct. Also since a burpee extends energy throughout the entire body, if you keep trying to better that time, don't be surprised if your ISTs go up. I will try mine tomorrow. I have a...

I love burpees. The only thing I see different in that video is when he gets back on his feet, he isn't in the squat position, he just jumps off of his tippies. I will get to this today or tomorrow...

What do you do in this advanced PE class?

CongratulationsMarine! Is there a story behind the ending quote? :D

This is correct. I've seen plenty of personal trainers that could use a little personal training themselves.
