Strong goals just around the corner. I don't think you got it in you, you DISGUSTING FATBODY!

Tungsten, I honestly think the only great part about that movie was boot camp. Everything after that, minus the firefight, was mediocre. IMO

There was a part after boot camp?? Don't tell any Marines I said this, but I thought the whole movie sucked after the opening scene...

Basic was WAY more chaotic, and WAY more of a Hellhole that what was depicted in that movie. On top of that, the Senior would sit back as five drill instructors swarmed the squad bay, led by the Heavy who was the freakin devil himself....

FMJ is a walk in the park compared to real boot camp.

subbed you you better not let me the fuk down poolie. I lol'ed at the 845 bed time, we never hit the bunks than early, seemed like it was 0200 then up at 0300.

[SMstikx7]

For this week I'm going to be running on a treadmill. Just to build up my endurance; after that all runs will be done outside.

[CaptLemeow]

are you going to be just doing straight 3+ mile long runs all the time?

[SMstikx7]

Yea. January I want to be able to do 3 miles within 18:00. Doing two of them back to back every day that I can. Why?

[IronAddict1775]

Subbed.

And what mos are u planning on op?

[Jasonk282]

You need to do some longer runs as we. 6-12 miles. When we do out ot we're running well over 3 miles.

[SMstikx7]

I'd like to be linguist; however I will be choosing around the 26th (when I take my ASVAB). I'm studying all week long this week so I can get something that's not infantry. I'm not looking to go to combat at age 18..

At what pace? No way I could do 6-12 at a 6min pace

Yeah im looking to be 0311 or. 0331 in infantry. I guess everyone has different goals. But good luck op

Edit: 0311 is rifleman and 0331 is machine gunner btw

Thanks. I'm looking to be a lingust, in my spare time getting black belt in MCMAP and becoming an Instructor-Trainer. I wish I did MMA as a kid, it was always a dream of mine. I'm all out for it.

Nice. Just keep with it and train hard brah. We're all gonna make it.

[SMstikx7]

Yup.

So I'm thinking for this week, depending on how it goes, maybe all of September as well, I'm just going to work on endurance runs. Then I'll be adding on speed either as I go along or after I can do long runs that are 6-12 miles. I'll let you guys know. I won't be running much next week as I'm going to MEPS/ASVAB

[DreEveryDay]

Put a pull-up bar in your house/apartment/room and do them every day. Pyramid up from 1 as high as you can go resring about 45-60seconds between each set and then back down. You can do the push-ups at the same time but double the push-ups. So 1pull, 2 push, 2 pull, 4 push and so on...

And when ever your going to text your max do a warm up set of 5 or so first. My entire time in the Marines I would never see anyone do a warm up of pull-ups before a PFT. I can't hit a set of 20 without one.

Good luck.

Very few are getting inti the 03 MOS these days. Just an fyi. Do you have a 2nd choice.

[Jasonk282]

Probably 7-8 minute pace.

Unless we go to war anytime soon there's no need for 03 at this time. Remember you'll be used to fit the needs if the Corps.

You'll br in whatever field you enlisted under. But you might nit get the MOS you want. Not everyone is going to be 0311.

Yeah thats what i mean. As long as iminfantry im fine.

[SMstikx7]

So I haven't ran a 3 mile since early June; which my time was about 26:37

Today it went down to 24:40. However, my endurance sucks, and I'd like to power up my speed. Good thing I have until January to get to where I want to be at the rate I'm working

[CaptLemeow]

rotate your workout types, intervals, repeats, sprints, mile n half, id say only do 3 miles in one go once a week
