i know of at least 2 others on here with the same shipdate as me (20080107) tick......tick....tick... getting nervous,just working on the last 5 pullups i need and getting my run time down,how are you guys holding up?

[Jyates383]

Im supposed to be shipping out then but, still waiting on a waiver.

[Justin88]

Thats my Ship date. I'm nervous too but more excited then anything!

Just keep a good attitude, keep PTting your butt off, and things will go great. It ain't easy, but it ain't imposible. Too many guys here have already done it.

I'm serious about the PT. The better shape you are in, the better off you are. Not only for PT test, but easier staying awake in classes and staying healthy.

A little experience here. Was a DI, SDI and Series Gunny in the 70's at PI.



Good luck

thank you sir

There's nothing to worry about. I know it's easier said than done, but boot camp isn't all that bad. Yes, it sucks while you're going through it, but when you look back (and you will look back on it nearly everyday) you'll mostly laugh. You're scared enough to **** your pants while you're there, but it's really funny when you look back on it. Get yourself in shape and prepare yourself as best as you can before you go. It'll make it a lot easier. PT wont' be as dreadful if you're actually in shape and not running behind everyone else.

Pay attention to these two Marines. One month to go and just in time for the Christmas festivities , all the holiday chow and the New Year cheer. Be discreet in your eating and partying.

Keep your PT up.Stay motivated and don't do anything stupid to keep you from your goal! Be safe! Good luck to all of you!
