I'm not scrawny, but I know that you can do it. I wrestle at my school and the best wrestler on the team is short and fairly skinny (very strong, but you get my meaning).

You have a good base,...

I liked Insanity.
I also liked P90x. Have both, done both albeit never finished either due to changes in required workout classes (DEPT PT, school weight training classes). I intend to do P90x...

I can't wait to get my car. I'm looking at smaller sedans or pickup trucks like a Toyota Tacoma. Will post pics when I get it :D

E-9 is either a Master Gunnery Sergeant, Sergeant Major, or Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. You address people by their rank, not their paygrade. Paygrade is the letter and number combination. ...

Last time I got:
2 pullups
55 situps (I think)
And a 12:05 1.5mile run.
I have PT with my substation monday and wednesday and the IST is on saturday.

I'm about to do my second IST, but the first one was pretty laid back since it was just our substation. This one is in the main area substation.
Any tips for how to do the best I can, what to eat...

What do you mean by call off?

Thank you very much everybody. I had planned to try these all out today, but I woke up with the flu so running would be a bad idea :(

Went for a PT run with the DEP today. We did some hills, and after that I got a nasty sideache that slowed my run down quite a bit.
One of the people suggested eating a banana to help prevent it...

I would also agree with you. People who aren't putting in the effort on their own time or on the Marines time have no right to whine about contracts.
I just personally prefer the group PT, as it is...

If I remember right, 0451 and 0321 are two of the few guaranteed contracts.
Really, you should talk to your recruiter, IMHO.
I think that if you signed a contract for a specific MOS, letting you...

I feel like enlisting into the DEP is a first commitment to the Marines. If the Marines ask you to do something, you pretty much have to do it, once you are a Marine. I feel like if I couldn't hold...

My substation must be lucky then...even the newbies (myself included) passed the IST
Basically, you should be asked some questions like you were asked at MEPS, no biggie.

Please ignore, double post.

You could always seek to talk to your family a little bit, maybe rebuild? I don't know the situation, but you might have a different outlook on it after boot camp.

You could visit your friends at...

I believe it is as well...peoples scores and job choices are still relevant.

AFQT: 97
GT:142, EL: 138, MM/CL: 134
Reserve Combat Engineers, MOS 1371
I'm looking to go to college while in the reserves, then go to OCS and become an infantry or engineer officer.

So, I talked to my grandpa a bit about his days as an EOD tech in the Marines. He started out as a combat engineer, as I am currently slated to do (in the reserves).
I started thinking a little bit...

Or both.
Given yahoo answers reputation as a locale for trolling, I'd believe anything.

First IST: Today
1.5 Mile Run: 12:05
Pullups: 2
Crunches: 54
Not the best scores, but I have about 11 months to improve :D

Rise against and bright eyes are my favorite bands...
I have a very...interesting...taste in music.

I'm in Oregon.
And thank you for the confirmation :)

They do have one but I'm having a tough time finding the company composition, only the battalion composition appears to be available.
I will probably be requesting Combat Engineer or Intelligence...

I've signed up for the Reserves and plan to attend college while in.
I want to attend college in my home state. The main (if not only) reserve battalion in my state is the 6th Engineer Support...
