that's about it

Yeah, there's no shortage of former marines that offer courses designed to imitate bootcamps, Tough Mudder started out in a similar way to that

This with boots, flakjacket and a pack. You cannot go wrong. I know we train like that all of the time.
>>
The first step to training like a Marine is wake up really early, PT, get dressed, then go sit outside in your front lawn until someone passes word. drinking and smoking are never frowned upon unless it leads to rape.

Do burpees till you throw up. Then do push ups. Then run a lot. Then after 3 months just sit around and eat burritos for the rest of your life and once a month maybe run 2 miles.

I thought you guys were all jacked. Any tips on getting 20 pullups?
>>
>>36444462
The military is like real life. The only jacked people are the people who want to be. And if you want to do 20 pull ups just start doing more pull ups and lose weight.

Grunts run too much to get particularly jacked. Anyone who is huge in the marines is likely a POG. Being swole as shit doesn't mean anything in modern warfare.
>>
>>36441845
This. If you really want to go full retard, buy an ILBE and go hiking for a billion miles.
>>
>>36444485

You know POGs aren't like desk jockeys, they're basically like construction workers or mechanics.

these sure look like desk jobs Anon
>>
>>36444531
Only some aren't desk jockeys. Most of the non combat arms jobs are literally the lamest jobs out there.

>not getting shot by hajjis in an ambush

sure sounds awesome

>>36444654
I mean if you wanted a desk job why would you join the marines? Free college? Join the air force or the navy then.
>>
>>36444654

So many real Marines right now would punch you in the face you ginormous pussy. You are a disgrace
>>
>>36444962

too bad none of those "real marines" is you, sunshine

ever heard of the air wing? yeah bro, artillery sure sounds like being a desk jockey

you're a faggot, kill yourself

>Ultra pog reporting in

This comic is pretty true to life. Typically it depends on how much time is spent in the field vice in garrison. From what I have seen and experienced to an extent field ops can be the biggest gains goblins lit there. The combination of no time or place to lift, poor nutrition and even worst sleep will keep some of the infantry and combat arms folks looking pretty dyel.

Marinefag here, there is...

Just do about half an hour of sucides screaming aye sir over and over again at the top of your lungs. Next do push ups, mountain climbers and high knees while screaming aye sir at the top of your lungs over and over again.

Do this for 3 months and you are basically a marine bruh.

Arty FAG here, you're a fucking retard or a troll. No Marine would compare the wing to arty or grunts, fuck off.

Non-mil here, hell not even American, but I was saying arty is not an 03 MOS and I dont think it can be called a pogue-y "desk job"

Army bro-tillerist here. Do you guys love to lift and hate to run as much as we do?
>>
>>36455239

Dude, thanks so much for this! Got any more? I can manage it. Not sure about the running speeds (have to convert to km, dunno what "pace" means) but the pushups, dips and pullups in the cat 1 schedule for sure!

Do they do any other training besides that?
>>
Why USMC

The standards are pretty shit and the training is not hard
>>
From talking to my Marine Corps combat vet roommate, 90% of military life is dipping and speaking in endless acronyms
>>
>>36455336
No
what's that? PT at 03? More running? FUCK YES
>>
>>36455995
That's what I'm doing now to become fit again, found it somewhere and make this pic for better use on mobile. I don't know what they are actually doing. 2 miles are something like 3.6 kilometres
