Ohh and ask a Recruit about a Scuz Scuzz Brush. I need not go any further.
I'm out, about to PT and get some breakfast.[/quote]
FTFY
ohhh scuzz brushes! What memories you brought up with me, PFC. I actually brought my personal scuzz brush home as a momento, seriously. Am I the only one that did that, or is the post-op pain meds that made me that sick?

Garrrr...read the 1330 message from yours truly. I tried to fix this, but have alas, failed. You could probably tell when I have taken my pain medication and have posted on here from when I have not LOL.
Anyone care to guess where I am at right now? LOL j/k

How long are the runs at Boot camp, and how often are they? I run about 3 miles a day, but just wanted to know if they progressed the PT or just started you out going hard. Thanks for any info.

I believe the longest ones are five miles.
10 mile marches.
You March over 40 miles during the Crucible,though, I think.

bootcamp-20080519
ey,
I was curious if anyone could help me out here on this. This site has been very incitful for me so i wanted to thank you for that. I was curious, im realy pushing for recon and needed to know what exactly is looked for or does everyone qualify for it? For example, after bootcamp can anyone "try out" for recon or are you selected among a few by your DI? I am very in shape and a healthy kid, I was just curious. Also i piked a contract and there were about 12 jobs within that contract. I really wanted the m1a1 tank job or AAV crewman job, but among the contract there is also meteorologist and logisitics which i am not particularly fond of, so the question here is what are my chances of getting what i want here? thanks for all the help

Surviving boot camp goes like this:
1. Have a good attitude. You are not "too good for this." There is no "Man, f*** this." Just do it.
2. Drink water. Not 12 canteens a day, that's impossible for some people. But enough. Being a heat case sucks.
3. Come fit. PCP is NOT a happy place. Pullups get you noticed in a positive way. That means better PFT scores and better pro/con marks from boot camp more than likely. Also, have good lower body flexibility. See above tirade about scuzzing to death.
4. Keep your eyes and ears open to EVERYTHING and keep your mouth (and everyone else's) shut. I swear to God if you say "SHUT UP!" enough you'll get a Meritorious Mast. Really. I've seen it happen.
5. Stay awake in your PMI's classes. Avoid the head at the range at all costs.
6. Learn how to properly speak to your superiors before saying ANYTHING.
7. Have fun with it! A wise man can live comfortably anywhere. I actually sort of missed boot camp at MCT sometimes.
