I literally can't wait to leave. 6 more days and I'm off to become a marine!!!!

Yeah i know pointless topic. sorry.

Yes, before you can ship to boot camp you must pass the IST which is(ours) being able to do 4 pull-ups, run 1.5 miles in less than 13:30(14:15 for females), and 60 crunches.

You do the PFT later...

I'm pretty sure he means he graduated and just got back on for this first time since he was a poolee.

I don't have a pull-up bar.....

I just go to schools and find one and do them there haha

They are probably just ****ing with you.

Very disappointed.

Had a pool function today. Only got 9 Pull-ups. The guy didn't count 4. I was stuck on 5 for about 3 pull-ups for not dropping all the way down. I was as close as you could...

+1

I take OEP Plus and have lost about 15 pounds. Gained 3 pull-ups, sometimes get 4 on a good day. OEP plus helps a lot if you have the right diet and training regimen going for you, but it's...

Thx for the suggestion on the grip thing I'll try it out next time.

I row in the pacific sometimes, but there probably is alot more force on the east coast I should try the Atlantic out...

Obviously having a little fun and not treating every moment as a life or death situation makes us idiots.

Teach me how to be smart? Please, Parker, please.

I know...suckers don't get it just adds fuel to the fire.

My pull-ups are okay I usually get around 675 on a normal day. it just depends really.

I just do curls. Concentration, Cable, etc. ...

You know most people just don't get that. They shall learn

And yeah I hear you on that sprint work. Some of my worst qualities is endurance. I sprint for about 4-4:15 and take 25-30 second...

2 mins 30 seconds of course

DubGee:

Hey dude I was wondering if you could give me some tips as well. I see you have finally hit under 2:30 on your 1.5 mile. I have been stuck at right around 2:45 for some time I need to...

The only way to get better at running is running. Every day. Mix up speed work with distance training and interval training. I would say run at least 5 times a week, if not 6 as well as pull-ups,...

My vision as of right now is terrible. No DQ or anything, but really bad. I can see very well near and no colorblindness, but I can't see much of anything far away. I have already been to MEPS and...

Crap, guess that means I'm gonna have to keep frickin livin my life by a set meal plan.

Okay I'm sure this is the millionth time this question has been posted, but I need final clarity. I am supposed to ship out sometime in the next month (not sure of the date yet), and I have been...

It was a typo, supposed to be 2011. And I have searched google endlessly for this answer and I can't find it.



Yes...Yes it does. My family kinda wants to know how long I'll be going through...

I am currently a poolee and have enlisted under the job of machine gunner. I am aware that machine gunners go through ITB AND Advanced ITB. I was just wondering how long that will be.
