Me, 19 pull ups
100+ sit ups
20:30 or so 3 mile
It all adds up to about a 275-280 I believe. I can't wait for this damn ankle to heal so i can cut down on those run times.
What about you?

My PFT would be
11:00+ but -13:00 1 1/2 mile
65 Crunches
and a 54 sec. flexed arm hand
maybe 1 pull up
by the way i am female
Well its sounds like most of you are looking pretty good but there a few that need to work on upper body strenght and there endurance when it comes to running. i went in the Corps in 1987 with a perfect 300 PFT and got out In 1991 and was still at a perfect PFT. YOU CAN ALL DO IT IF YOU SET YOUR MIND TO IT!

20 pullups, 135 crunches, around 20 min which is probably lower now. PFT is at 288 or a few points higher.

Dang, Yall are poolees and run that fast. Yall do know the better the shape you in when you get to MCRD the harder they will be on you.
I am at 10 pull-ups, 100+ crunches, and 1 1/2 mile in like 13 mins..I am going to shed off 3 mins before June.
I don't want to go to PI all buffed. I want to challenge myself.
Never taken the pft before but my ist scores are:
94-sec. flex
104-crunches
11:59 half mile
Let that be my judge.
Oh, and Shaffer, if you see this, the other post closed down before I could respond, but those are my times. And I can do enough male pull-ups to get into boot. Better than most poolees at my recruiting station, a lot of them are going infintry. Doubt me if you will, but hey, one of these days, women are going to be accepted in infintry, and all you grunts on the front line might have a female save your life. It will happen, so be nice to us females!
My upper body doesn't rate- just 7 pullups and 72 crunches, but I can run ok- 9:50 the last time we ran an IST at the RSS

Hey Lorix I agree with you Females will be on the front lines one of these days couse of we are stepping out and up. My PFT would not add up to yours.

11 pull-ups, roughly 70-80 crunches, and prolly around a 22-23 min 3 mile.

The best way to cut down on your run times is find a stadium( for the steps) or some land with alot of uneven ground to run on , ie hills, and try to run in boots of some kind. In 29 Palms we would run in shorts, tshirts flak jackets web gear boots and try to carry 2- 5lb sledge hammers to help with our wind . Some guys even ran with light packs on and our runs always had some sand time in thier and it really helped our run times. I went from a 20:30 average to a 18:15 average 3 miles. The best was in Oki. when I was stinking hung over after a long night and a surprise PFT but I don't recommend trying that one yet.

Just to let you all know, (by the way, I'm a PFC and currently at MOS school, and haven't changed my name yet) don't sweat the physical aspects before bootcamp too much. Just make sure you can do at least 3-5 pullups, and be in somewhat decent shape. Bootcamp will take care of the rest. Bootcamp is designed to take you from a barely healthy person to a strong Marine. So, PT will start off slow, and gradually work its way up.
If you need to worry about anything, it's mentally preparing yourself for three months of hell.
Bootcamp = 20% physical, 80% mental.

Webber is right, the body will go alot further than the mind thinks it can. If you think you can't do something than most likely you will fail or give up. Marines are overachievers and are never satisfied with just doing thier best. They go above and beyond thier best.If you want to talk about always being on the recieving end than take a look at Audie Murphy even though he was in the Army his is a great story of never settling on aanything. Or for all you die hard Marines Sgt Maj Kellogg is a personal favorite of mine. I had the pleasure of serving under him and if you want to know a great story find out about him. He won the MOH in Vietnam in Quan Nam Province. His is a true story of a Marine.
Well first my PFT would be ---
Pull-up's - 15 ( im also about 6'6 - 6'7 )( 215 pounds ) ( Working on these )
Sit-up's - 100 ( I can do more but in boot camp from what Im told it doesnt matter if you can do more stop at 100 )
3 mile run - about 21-22 which would make my total score = 257(if I run a 21 ) (if I run a 22) = 251
when I get up to 20 pull-up's I will have a 282! and I did say when...

oh man I love reading these poolee sections
Yea, me too... we love when you read them as well
Odc, should still push your self at boot camp on those crunchs... 100... thats 100%... Dont you love the give it 110 percent? Those scores will follow us around why cut yourself short?
17 Pullups.
20:30 3 mile.
157 situps in 2 min. was my very best usually I get around 140\
Pel
Im going off what my recruiter said he told me that it was a smart idea to stop at 100% because .. you dont get extra points 100 is the max amount of points and they said "why waste our energy, and not do as well on the other portions than show how "manly" you can be
drillinstructor
03-20-05, 10:53 AM
100 % at all times is required you will not stop at 100 because I will not let you.......besides crunches is the last event. If two recruits both score 300 on the PFt and you do 100 and the other does 101, Who do you think is going to be the Company high PFT-er. Go after 200.........give 100% at all times

Poolee Coulter Im sorry if I have mislead you in the info I gave you, so let me clarify. For now do as your recruiter suggests he is the one that you need to satisfy today. But once yout hit those yellow foot steps its a whole new ball game. Listen up to the Gunny he's right and your Drill Instructor will expect 110% out of all recruits because all the grade points will be for the honor of the platoon. Right now you are judged as an individual at MCRD you will be judged as part of a team.
Ty Drill Instructor and thank you Jinelson! neither of you had mislead me! we all make mistakes, we jus have to fix them and not let them happen again!

I might be wrong gunny, but when I was at PI they wouldn't count our crunches after 100 because they were maxed out. Just like if you could do over 20 pull ups or less than an 18:00 3-mile. Was that just how our company ran things, or have things changed?

Running time 13:18 (I run slow)
Pull Ups- 8-12
Crunches- 98!!! <---- I WILL make 100 next IST...
I think by bootcamp I will be able to do approx. 12:-- on my run, and 15 pull ups, and 110-120 crunches... shipping in june so i got a lot of work to do.

Recuit Parrish is 5' 5" and 137 lbs.
1 1/2 Mile Run = 9:58
Pull Ups = 20
Crunches = 80
Not bad for a CASUAL Smoker, Hard Core Chewer and REDNECK who wears nothing but wranglers ahhh?

Dang..Yall are pushing yourselfs hard before you go to Boot Camp. Just because your in real good physical condition doesn't mean it will be easier on you.
Once I get to running a mile at a average of 6 minutes(Mostly will get at boot camp) I will be satifised. 20 pull-ups(Mostly will get at boot camp) and 100 crunches is easy.

Candidate Batki is 5' 7.5", 168 lbs.
Last PFT: 235
10 Pull-ups
100 Crunches
20:30 Three Mile Run
Not bad. Best I've done so far. I'm hoping to make it to 14 pull-ups by Wednesday, April 6th, which is when my next PFT is.

Ill tell you all something that helped me. While your at home watching TV lay on the floor and put your legs on the a chair or on the couch and when the show goes off start doing crunches until the show comes back on. that will build your body up for your PFT.
MellowYellow why dont you aim for all of those now instead of beleiving that you will hit them at boot camp? Before I leave for boot camp I will have a perfect PFT, and at boot camp I will only reach higher with that wonderful motivation that Drill Instructors provide, :)

Just curious. Are all of you considering the stress factor of Boot Camp and how it might affect your PFT scores? Often times stress inhibits production, even if you know that there is going to be stress heading your way. Good luck to all of you. Do your best. I applaud you all on your efforts and I apologize if I have given you all one more thing to stress over.
Take care.
