I would definitely step up the cardio. Try a workout program such as Insanity, P90X, or Crossfit (I hear that is one of the best). Still maintain your running. I know Insanity and P90X have nutrition...

I have heard the "chow-to-chow" phrase before and it does seem...

Congrats!

I leave for MCRDPI in just under a month and a half (Nov. 28th)

Is there any advice you can give to cope with the initial mental strain? I know it is different for everyone, and I...

I am not taking sides... But Bulldawg, before you come in here and criticize people... get your facts straight.. From what i have read Exodus' argument,...

Thats what I was just saying. You're better off just making your own flashcards. Plus i know the actual process of making the flashcards helps me out a lot!

Where is Private? The website says Rank 1: Enlisted is PFC. E-1 (1st rank of enlisted is Private..)
I wouldn't suggest using this because you may get confused because, for example: E-6 is Staff...

I had a buddy that was down at PI a few months back.. I tried to mix the letter up between motivational talk and some talk about stuff going on at home. I tried not to talk too much about things back...

If I lift or do some high intensity workouts I listen to some fast pace music like...

For lunch I LOVE making a nice big salad. Peppers, carrots, HB eggs, tomatos, and top it off with a really light dressing. My preference for dressing is a balsamic vinaigrette!

For dinner eat a...

Well said. I have to put a towel down in my house because of the sweat pouring off of me! haha Today was harder than yesterday due to some soreness in my legs. (lots of squatting and jumping)
