What is your goal IST before you ship out?

[Underoathed]

My goal has always been a 300 PFT. I made that goal before I even was able to enlist. So now my goal is just to add more pull-ups and crunches and decrease my run times. Kinda like adding cushion to everything just-in-case I have a bad day.

[Walters92]

Underoathed, you already have a huge cushion haha

[MarinesFTW]

17:58 3 mile is not a coushin at all. Still kicks the crap out of my run time though!

[McManus15]

Pull ups - 25 (already kill em)
Sit ups - 100 (easy)
1.5 miles - 10:30 (at 11:15...crap)

I need to start running...

11:15 isn't bad for some people...*cough* like me

Just came home from an IST !

Previous IST
Pull ups: 13
Crunches: 101
Run: 13:12

Today's IST
Pull ups: 15
Crunches: 114
Run: 12:15


I'm pretty happy with my scores today ;] I was hoping for 17+ pull ups...eh

[ETWilliams0209]

Today's IST (my first official one) was:

Pull ups: 16
Crunches: 72
Run: 11:01

I would have done better on the crunches if I hadn't done 50 sit ups before my recruiter told me to stop coming up so high. That's not an excuse, just me being stupid.

Goal: 300 all the way.

Go big or go home

Going to have to get my Stew Smith on yeah?

[ETWilliams0209]

My goal is to be able to do a 225 PFT two weeks before I ship out. If I had to put it in terms of an IST I would say:

Pull ups: 20+
Crunches: 100+
Run: 9:30 or better

Good for your first official IST. Since you just DEP'ed in, you got plenty of time to improve.

[Joshjames1234]

Current IST / Goal IST
1.5 Mile - 11:00 / 9:30
Crunches - 61 / 120
Pull-ups - 7 / 20

I have about 8 months to get ready, and I'm not letting any time go by!

Mentally, I want to have all general orders completely memorized in about 2 weeks. After that I won't have any other things to really memorize because I already have the rank structure down and other basic info.

Not quite, I only have 'til February 8th. I'm going to go back and be an assistant coach with my old high school wrestling team over the holidays; it's the best conditioning I know (the drop out rate for our team in the 1st month every season was around 50% every year).

I'll also be running ISTs and PFTs with a friend who's trying to start the PLC before he leaves college. Between those two I'm hoping to have at least a 225 PFT before I ship. Shooting for the 300 by the end of boot.

General Orders
Rank Structures
Leadership Traits
Principles
Core Values (easy)


I wouldn't be totally surprised if you got Leadership traits, core values, and the ranks down...but how about the Principles?
