Does anyone have any tips to make getting through boot camp easier and also does anyone have a good work out plan before you go?

Do your best everyday and sound off (yell) as loud as you can and you'll be good-to-go.

Your questions have been asked a thousand times on this site. Do a search and see what you can find. Also, read the stickies at the top of the page.

Pull ups are your money maker. 5 points per pull up will increase your PFT score drastically. I suggest doing a pyramid style workout, alternating between Pull ups and Push ups, or Pull ups and Crunches.

1 Pull up + 10 push ups/crunches
2 Pull ups + 10 push ups/crunches
All the way up to your goal for each week, and then back down.

Keep in mind that a Marine Corps push up is a (4) count exercise; 2 pushups counts as 1 repetition.

Cardio and endurance will take you a long way (pun intended).

Scream as loud as you can, and then scream louder. Then learn the phrase "it is what it is". Learn from mistakes. Exercise before you leave for boot. Simple.

Never be the last one to do anything. Stand out in a good way. Stay motivated. Don't be a sissy when things get rough, because they will. Be loud all of the time. Don't get injured. Don't fake or over-play an injury. BE SMART.
