View Full Version : Dep pt
As a poolee, I am expected to attend PT at least twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I've been going to PT for two weeks now, and it sucks. I played football in high school and worked-out a lot so I'm in okay shape. Yeah, but this is fun though. My first PT, I puked my brains out and almost passed out. I'm not too embarrassed about it, because half the group pukes or passes out every other PT from what I can tell. The recruiters really push us and make it as "like Boot Camp" as they possibly can. I'm really enjoying it, though I don't think my legs will agree from that six mile Indian Run we did this morning. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you other poolees out there are going through this like I am, PT and all. Share your experiences!
Wait, I should clarify- people don't actually pass out. They go to the point where they can't go any further without collapsing and getting a heat stroke. At which point they are told to sit down and rest.

What sub-station are you recruited out of? I'm in Pasadena and its sad to say that they don't push us as hard as you described. I wish they would though.

my RSS Pearland has never been that hard in my year of being there. I wish we were able to run 6 miles for our pt.

Certain Poolee's hold back the rest of us when we do PT's. One of them is a squad leader who cant jog for more then ten minutes or lift an ammo can more then 20 times in a row... only got the position because "she knows knowledge." Really wish we could do more hardcore stuff.

Women that come to our PT never come back,same can be said for a few of the males. I run with a 20lb weight vest during pt. I told my recruiter that wanted to go recon and he grinds my butt every tuesday and thursday. (he was in a recon unit) I go to the gym with my recruiter,ruck runs,beach runs etc. Talk to yours and see if he will train with you.
