Alright fuckwads
Time to post your current PT numbers
Are you up to par?
Should you kill yourself?
Find out here!
As of last apft
Age 20
Push up 2 mins: 65
Sit up 2 mins: 77
2 mile run: 13:56
>>30025650
282
94 on run
100 on situps
88 on pushup
Bastard wouldn't count six of my pushups.
age: 30
pushups: 8
situps: never tried
2 mile run: can only run for half a mile before stopping
also get out of breath going up a couple flights of stairs
i want to be a navy seal, how fucked am i?
Navy DEP faggot here
Age 19
500 yard swim: 8:50
Pushups: 70
Situps: 80
Pullups: 11
1.5 mile run: 10:36
Numbers are low/skewed because by the time I'm doing pushups, situps and a run, I've swam almost 1/3 of a mile as fast as possible. It's only 1.5 miles so that's nice.
>>30025759
why dont you swim a little slower then, instead of going all out on the first swim? or does navy put more emphasis on swim times vs the rest of exercise scores?
>>30025704
Low quality.
>>30025783
The guys who are very fast swimmers do that. The reason I test is to keep my contract since I'm in DEP, my swim time is a determining factor on whether or not I get to keep my EOD contract.
The short answer is I need to get better at running and swimming.
>>30025825
i see, so swim time is more important for your MOS, and as long as you beat the minimums on pushups and stuff it doesnt really matter then? is that because you are already in EOD, and they just care about maintenance? or are they more lenient on tryouts too, with the non swim/run scores?
side question, do you get to do scuba stuff? or is it mostly above ground ordnance disposal
>>30025801
its true i want to be a navy seal, i just dont think i can be one. it would probably take at least a year to get into good enough shape and then id be too old
>>30025908
It would take like four months of constant work and then work on the side all through your initial training.
>>30025650
>just signed into USMC DEP
18, IST last Tuesday
10 Pull ups
70 crunches
65 Ammo can lifts
11:45 1.5 mile run
>>30025704
>>30025650
Civ pushing for entry fitness level:
Shuttle run (Beep test): 10.3
Situps (unlimited time): 170
Pushups: 28
Run 2.4km: 11:00 (haven't tested in a while)
Why the fuck does my pushup score consistently suck?
doing 200 pushups a day, either in 1 large block of time or sets of 10 throughout the day, but I haven't managed to break 30, the fuck am I missing here?
See how the ravages of time make all this shit meaningless...oh wait you're too smart to let that happen...so never mind.
1.5 mile run:10 37
Situps 1 min:70
Push ups 1 min:67
34 in waist
Probably wouldn't pass really don't care
>>30026048
>the fuck am I missing here?
Momentum
>>30026104
how do you mean?
>>30026048
Do them in sets of 25, 8 times a day then work out at night.
>>30026073
What the hell are you on about?
>>30026123
So do them through out the day rather in than all in a single training period?
training the situps was so easy compared to the pushups, I just started to failure then did 3 sets close to failure and progress increased exponentially, but with pushups I seem to have stagnated at 25/28
>>30025650
1.5mile run: 28 minutes flat
Pushups in 1 min: 5
Situps: 1/2
I am a woman and as you can see these numbers dont lie, I am just as capable as any man. I can wait to serve combat roles so I can show how much of a asset on the field I can be! #iamwomanhearmequieff!
>>30026168
pic plz :)
>>30026161
Do both, bro. Drop yourself for pushups all day and then kill it at night.
>>30026168
these pt standards are racist, misogynistic and transphobic. #EQUALSTANDARDSTANDARDSNOW

Women usually kill the situps

Muscles
Start lifting weights and focus on your bench press. Starting Strength or Stronglifts would be good babby's first workout.
>>30026198
Thanks mang, would be fuckin' humiliating to fail on pushups
my assessment is on the 2nd of next month too, had 3 weeks notice to get to this point.
>>30026215
I don't think that's going to help, sir.
>>30025650
Push ups: 56
Sit ups: 65
Two mile in 13
Can't remember the rest.
>>30026048
>the fuck am I missing here?
If you're missing enough protein in your diet your body has a hard time building muscles
>>30026016
I was at your same shit when I depd in. out of bootcamp I was at 20 pull-ups 94 sit-ups only because I got a fucked back, 100 ammo cans and 19:37 3 mile.
>>30026263
This made me feel really good anon, I felt like a piece of out of shape shit when i did the IST even though i passed, thank you
>>30026048
>>30026244
Don't just do 10 gorillion push ups if you want to get good at push ups. They are a very inefficient way of building maximal strength. Do bench press primarily and then get sets of push ups on the side.
>>30026190
Im oper8n haha hurdur
>>30026048
Protein is your brotein, eat more chicken
>>30026230
Never quit, never stop. PT when you get up, throughout the day, on into the night
>>30026300
fuck that means I need a gym.
>>30026310
get plenty mang can't be that
>>30026322
also make sure you're getting good sleep. the gains fairy only comes at night
>>30026322
Maybe it's the form? I used to be shit at pushups until I watched a video about the form and realized what I was doing wrong
>>30026263
Ammo cans? What??
I've been out but my average was:
100 crunches
17 pull ups
21 minute 3 mile
First class PFT no problem. When the fuck did the corps make ammo cans a thing? Are you talking CFT?
>>30026322
Alternatively you can try weighted push ups. The point being that you need to increase your maximal strength right now. Based on your numbers it is likely the low hanging fruit.
>>30026346
the specific requirement for pushups in our army is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQPCRxYJmWQ&ab_channel=OfficialNewZealandArmy
making sure I'm following this form.
Time...dude....time, in 30 years these numbers will mean nothing to you except as nostalgia...maybe.
>>30026357
>When the fuck did the corps make ammo cans a thing? Are you talking CFT?
I'm this guy >>30026016 just did my IST and Ammo can lifts were a thing, according to what I've found online they're not on the PFT but show up again on the CFT
>>30026385
Bullshit. I love fitness, Imma work it til I die.
P/U = 96
S/U = 72
11/2 mi. = 10:09.
I'm thirty. And I like beer.
>>30026425
That ain't bad.

Deadlift 450
Squat 382.5
Pendlay Row 310
Bench Press 290
The Press 195
2 Miles Run 14:03
Push ups and sit ups are a shit measurement of strength
>>30026413
I EAS'd in 2011 and PFT was crunches, pull ups, and a 3 mile.
I remember something about ammo cans with the CFT but that shit was a joke.
>>30026385
>Why be healthy and strong, everyone dies!
>>30025873
> i see, so swim time is more important for your MOS,
They do care about pushups and situps, but you're mostly right. For example, if you BTFO the pushups and situps, they won't really care and you won't pass if your swim and run were average.
> and as long as you beat the minimums on pushups and stuff it doesnt really matter then?
It matters, just not as important. They don't even want number; they want 60 or 70 GOOD pushups. Solid form, full extension, no cheating yourself.
> is that because you are already in EOD, and they just care about maintenance?
As I said, I'm in DEP, which is the Navy's "delayed entry program. I ship out in August.
> or are they more lenient on tryouts too, with the non swim/run scores?
On the tryouts, they take your numbers and give them to the recruiting command for Specwar or whatever. Your name and scores get put into a list, and when the monthly draft date comes, those on top with scores above a certain level are chosen. The rest will have to keep competing.
> side question, do you get to do scuba stuff?
Navy Basic EOD graduates are all Scuba and airborne qualified.
> or is it mostly above ground ordnance disposal
Still in DEP
>>30026322
>fuck that means I need a gym.
Or dumbells + plates, barbell + plates a bench and a buddy who can spot you.
Fuck gyms.
>>30026462
Will you get MFF or is that only for guys attached to SOF elements? Or since you're Navy do you all get attached to SOF elements?
My last AF fitness assessment
Pushups: 10pts
Situps:10pts
Waist:20pts
Run :51pts
Fuck running mang, and why try for above a 90% anyways if you don't get shit for under 100%
>>30026528
Running is best mang
>>30026480
I'm no job no money atm, hence enlisting.
might be able to find some other heavy object to lift
>>30025650
If you're not in a job that requires push ups and sit ups you're retarded to care about them, this dude has the right idea >>30026436
>>30026605
Is there a local community center? Those often gave free gyms.
>>30026691
Hmm, closest to me is a pool complex but they definitely charge membership for their gym, I'm stuck in a middle of nowhere shit pot with very little of anything.
I'm already above the entry fitness levels required but it's pretty competitive for entry so I'm trying to boost scores as much as possible in the time I have.
>>30026373
>Navy - alright a traditional proper pushup
>Army - still proper, just slightly wider with more emphasis on chest and less tricep
>Air Force - OH GOD WTF
>>30025650
PRT? Shit I pretty much just aim to pass.
27
Push Ups - 55-60ish
Sit-ups - 75-80
1.5 Mile - 11-12minute
I focus on basic lifting at the Gym not push ups/cardio so it hurts me a lot but luckily not in a job that needs me to be super in shape.
>>30026778
hahahaha yeah, Air force is pathetic with pretty much everything.
if you're female, never ran in your life, don't know what a pushup is, entry is guaranteed.
being woman is auto-entry, thanks gender equality legislation :-)
>>30026209
they suck at the pushups because all their lives they let their bras do that for them

Tighten your shit up fag.
I ran a 22 minute in my day and that's if I walked some of it.
>>30030342
I used to run 21 minute when I was 30lbs lighter. Gotta get those gains old timer
>>30030342
Yeah I'm an old timer, I'm 29. But I hope you're a pog because 25 minutes is damn near Shitbag status. Probably fall out of hikes. Muscles McGee.
>>30030405
I can hike, but I just can't run long distance well. I'm my way out anyway.
Why is every airfaggot shaped like a potato?
Army DEPfag: shipping out in two weeks:
2 mile run: 12:20
Pushups: 75
Situps: 64 (recruiter told me to quit after I passed the 80 score point, so max may be higher)
>>30030468
What's the logic of stopping at 80?
It was just a go/no go pre-shipping APFT to confirm my E-4 status, from what they told me. I believe both for opt 40 and 18xers you are supposed to have a APFT on file with 80 or better in all three events. (also probably had a mild case of lazy test administrator)

Still trying to break 90 for situps and 80 for press ups, but I am happy enough with the scores.
>>30030564
Your run is really good m8
>>30027446
I get it! Pushup Bras!
Last pft was something like:
5 pullups, 51, crunches, and i ran like a 26:00 3 mile.
Fags made me do a fucking pft the month before i got out even though i was current for two more months. Looked like the pullup graders were having aneurisms when i did 5 then asked if it was cool to get off the bar. Normally would max crunches, 20 pullups and shitty sub 21 minute 3 mile after drinking.
Current apft is 14ish minute 2 mile, 81 pushups and 84 situps. All you dep and wannabes can suck my dick before you swear in.
>>30030307
I don't. There's no consistent history of it in my family. Try harder.
>>30030663
You from down in Florida?

I had a friend do a ~1 week exchange with the PLA (Chinese) Navy; they brought back footage of them doing PT and their pushups weren't as bad, but weren't too far from in that video; no concept of maintaining a rigid core.
>>30030663
They tried to make me do a CFT a month before I got out. I was FAP'd out to the SMP at that point.
Show up to take it, low and behold the guy they sent to write down scores was my old squad leader I had deployed with. I just walked up and told him the scores I wanted and he wrote them down. Splashed some water on my chest to make it look like I sweated, and walked away.
>>30030702
Nah. Panther bde in 82nd. Jumped into Florida this one time, though.
>>30030707
Holy fuckin shit, para. How the fuck do you expect to make the earth buckle when you land with that kind of run time? By being a lardass?
>>30026538

>Bullshit. I love food, Imma eat it til I die.

>When the fuck did the corps make ammo cans a thing?
humpin' them in a combat zone....makes good sense...maybe try it before knocking it.
>>30030935
I meant as part of the PFT numb nuts.
I've done ammo drills with 31s running them up and down hills. Get your shit straight.
>>30030935
>Hurr lets put dirt in da kans to make dem heavier cuz we hard corps
So you wanna press fuckin ammo cans for a test, but not have them carry any ammo. In fuckin Kuwait, which is a hostile fuckin fire zone as of last year. Might as well ratchet strap the fuckin porta johns shut while youre at it since sandniggers might use them as concealment.
>>30030898
I weigh 154 pounds. I pretty much just eat trail mix, applesauce, brotein and pita pockets.

Collegefag taking my apft in august. How the hell do I up my situps? I'm sitting around 30. My core is shit
>>30026538
agreed!
You can do it anywhere, it burns fat, see the outdoors if you go on a trail (and most weight head gym rats hate it so its nice to be good at something they are not).
god-tier exercise.
>>30031180
In 30 years I'll be 50, so I prolly won't look as good, but I can tell you I won't be a fat piece of shit. I don't like junk food, I love exercise, all of my hobbies are active.
You seem to be projecting some insecurity.
>>30031297
more situps.
>>30031297
Crunches and cardio.
>>30031310
>You seem to be projecting some insecurity.
no just the FACT that what you're doing now will factor little on whats important to you in the future.
in youth the way forward seems so straight.
that is all.
These are the qualifying standards for the Parachute regiment (UK), it has the highest fitness standards within the army.
A friend of mine is already in the army and said that basically forget the requirements, they expect the following if you are to be even considered for the regiment (otherwise they bust you into some standard infantry regiment).
1.5 mile run immediately after a 1.5 mile jog - sub 9 minutes.
Press ups (2 minutes) 60
Sit ups (2minutes) 80
Pull ups - Atleast 6
Aswell as all those, over a 2 day selection course there also a 2 mile assault course, to be done in 16 minutes, and a 200 meters Jerry can run, but they make you do it more than once depending on how they 'feel' about you, and a 4 mile run ending in a sprint up what they call the Land of Nod, basically a big fucking hill that a lot of people fail on.
And that's just to qualify for training.
Any Brit bros want any advice or questions about the training process let me know.
>>30031647
Sup man, I'm>>30030564
Last time I checked it was sub 9m 30s for the Paras for the 1.5 miler? If not, that's piss annoying.
You in the Army yourself? If so, what regiment and how did you prepare for the training?
>30lb ammo can lift for reps
what's the point? Just test max ohp/push press

I'm not him.
Nothing wrong with it. But not needed either.
See Rocky 4. Or the movie Bronson played by Tom Hardy. Based on a real guy who wrote a workout book on how to stay ripped in solitary confinement.
The world can be your gym, anon.
>>30031901
>seriously quoting rocky 4
kek
KEK
K E K
I do strongman so I know a fair bit about using weird objects to train with, but gym lifts are the bread and butter of any good strength routine. You're hampering your progress significantly by not using barbell exercises
>>30031933
The rocky 4 was meant to be a joke. That's why I mentioned Charlie Bronson.
>>30031977
and charles bronson, while admittedly harder than a coffin nail, is nowhere near the best authority on strength training. The strongest men around do their day-to-day work in the gym lifting heavy shit
>>30032023
I don't work out to be the strongest. Or for glamour muscles. I work out to be an in shape male that's not a couch potato.
But you do your thing I'll do mine. Don't forget to take your muscle milk.
>>30032137
fair enough, obviously do what you want to do, but it doesn't change the fact that lifting is the optimal way to get stronger at any level
>>30032373
Some weightlifting Marine earlier in the thread says his gains were more important than cardio.
Tons of meathead muscle dudes fell out runs and hikes in my day. And you're only impressing your fellow gym queers.
Protip: women like mens natural muscles. You don't gotta biggy size it.
>>30032486
No one is saying you should neglect cardio and focus purely on lifts.
>being fit to impress women
LMAO
>>30032511
>Women don't like hard bodies
Yeah they like squishy man tits.
>>30032536
Women are literal trash, be fit for yourself. And if being your strongest is part of you being your fittest self you will need to lift weights.
>>30032552
>Women are trash
Is that what you wrote in your card for Mothers Day.
Kid please, bounce away on your bouncy ball, and learn some humility.
>>30032486
>Protip: women like mens natural muscles
in what way are muscles obtained from lifting not natural?
>Tons of meathead muscle dudes fell out runs and hikes in my day.
obviously in the forces cardio is the main focus, but that doesn't mean you should neglect strength.
>And you're only impressing your fellow gym queers.
hahaha
and your 9 min PFA doesn't impress anyone full stop if you literally can't even press 60kg with your poverty noodle arms.

there's even less of a reason for someone non-military to focus on cardio at the expense of other aspects of fitness.

Well I didn't join Pussy platoon. In the Marines we did a 3 mile and I did 21 flat. 7 mile minutes are the standard for being in shape.

The Indian push-up is called dand. It's closer to the dive-bomber than to classic push-up. The dive-bomber is a pretty good exercise that is used by the navy SEALS. Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiWXtIGkjgs go at 4:00

I'm stuck in a National Guard officer commitment. It'll be two years before I can even try out for SF.
>>30025704
I assuming you waited until you were thirty years old to latch on to that aspiration. If you're in that bad of shape after wanting to be a seal for any ammount of time, then you're lying to yourself about "really wanting it."
If you really do want it though, it's time for a drastic lifestyle change. I know a guy that walked into a serious gym, put their tax return on the desk and said "fix me." Hes in excellent shape now and one of the top trainers at my gym. You can do it if you really want to, anon.
>>30026215
I started my mom and sister on stronglifts. Sister weighs 125, now squats 180.
>>30033511
what kind of gym do you mean by "serious" gym? like do you have to find one of those boutique lifting gyms in venice beach? why arent there ex military dudes who run gyms specifically for people trying to train for military
>>30025650
20 Pull ups
100+ Crunches
20:06 3 mile
26 year old uber-POG O-2.
>>30031889
It is indeed, but by the end of your time at depot, you'll be ready, providing you don't jack it or injure yourself.
>>30031719
It's a sub 9:40 providing you can do a static lift of more than 115kg, a static lift is basically a deadlift but instead of a bar it's two handles that you grip which don't move, it instead measures the force that you pull, if you lift weights and are in generally good fitness you should be able to do it, otherwise it's a sub 9:20.
The reason I say sub-9 is because just making the grade on paper doesn't mean shit, if you just scrape it, they'll put you down as high-risk and then work the fuck out of you for your first 5 weeks, they'll either break you when you're already at your most vulnerable, or you'll toughen up fast, either way it's best to avoid it, the lads I know that are already in the reg are doing sub 9's all across the board, even though once you're in, the standard changes from sub 9:30 to sub 10:30.
I'm not in the army yet, I'm very late in the application stage and am basically through all the pre-phase 1 tests, I have a pal thats just passed p company and a couple more that have been in the reg for a few years now, I'm in quality shape desu, and prepared by doing 2 days of heavy compound lifting in gym, then 1 day of body weight only and rowing, and another 2 days worth of running, 1 of which is a best effort 4 miler, the other is interval sprinting, after the running I go to gym and do half hour incline fast-walking on treadmill, and half hour cycling
If you want more in depth training talk let me know
>>30034462
I'd expect no less from an 0-2.
There was 0-1 that could run an 18 minite 3 mile in my unit aka XO douchebag. Thought he was hot shit. Cpl Hamacher, my squad leader at the time, e4 oorah paced with him. Then said "see ya at the finish line Sir!" Smoked his ass in the dirt.
>>30034462
howd you commission?
>>30034681
>XO 2ndLt
You have my deepest sympathies....
>>30034691
Did the OCC route, didn't join till 2 years out of college.
>>30034705
Thank you. He was a west point douche. He might of been an 02 at that time. He still had the attitude of a cocky 01 tho.
>>30034742
ocs for marines? you like it? what was your pft to apply? how'd you train for it?
how was tbs?
apologies for nailing you with questions just curious
>>30025650
>28 yo
>40 pushups las time i checked
>sit-ups, not sure, like 70 or so
>2 mile run - never tried, I do 30 mins 3 mile jogs 2-3 times a week. Could probably do 15-16:00 on a good day.
sometimes I cry at night
>>30034759
>ocs for marines? you like it?
Yup, the 10 week program. It wasn't exactly a fun walk in the park, but I'm glad I did it.
>what was your pft to apply?
Pretty much crap - I was fast as fuck but couldn't bang out more than 16 pull ups. I think my score was something like 270, which was comparatively low to the class average of about ~285.
>how'd you train for it?
Lots of running, higher rep/lower weight lifting, and pull ups. Great for running, though I've found heavier lifting and weighted pull ups are better for the pull up pft part.
>how was tbs?
Sucked at times, but did some cool shit. I didn't get too into it because I already had my MOS assignment going into it.
>>30034867
you like the marine corps? im waiting for an intel slot in the navy but if i dont get it i think im going to try with the marines, since a recruiter of mine is pushing for subs otherwise.
you only get a land/air/law contract with them though dont you? i guess i'd go for land infantry would be nice but my pft score is poo. im working on my lifting and gotta start running again. hopefully the pool near me opens up so i can do more cardio. youre a JAG then?
>>30034905
>Land Infantry
?? I wasn't an officer but have worked with several. Also I was in Intel.
>>30034961
fuck i was thinking of a land contract and then hopefully infantry officer i guess i got sidetracked. im a bit scatterbrained at times
>>30034905
Yeah, I like it - the other branches' options for my MOS aren't my style, so I'm glad that I chose the Marines. Navy intel is pretty rad. Yeah, I'm a Judge Advocate, so my experience at TBS would be completely different from yours, should you go ground contract. That said, infantry isn't an especially competitive MOS to get assigned, though the MOS school is pretty brutal to get through.
>>30034972
Well I was in Intel as a Clic Marine. This anon >>30034982 probably has your answers.
I was selected for Intel, I didn't choose it.
>>30025650
As of last APFT
>77
>76
>14:27
>age 33
Yes I can do more pushups than situps.
>>30034982
lets say i wash out of infantry school would i get placed elsewhere or separated? i'd rather serve as an officer in whatever mos than only have a shot at infantry officer or get sep'd if that makes sense. i think i'd be bummed if i was a marine finance officer though
how competitive is OCS selection? oh its only 10 weeks, navy is 12 i think. i got a 3.5 gpa in biochem but my pft is a bit under 200 right now so i dunno if they'd let me get ready then submit my packet once my pft is high enough
what does a JAG do anyway
>>30035067
You get two cracks at IOC - if you fail both, you'd get a different MOS. That said, there are other combat arms MOS's that have easier MOS schools, like arty tanks or aav's. Your PFT isn't going to matter too much for MOS preference - I know guys who ran 250's that went to IOC - but it will matter for just getting selected for OCS. You really gotta up that PFT - start with the pull ups and crunches and once those are high, get fast.
As a judge advocate, most of my work is listening to hilarious drunk marine stories and then negotiating them out of the Corps, or taking them to trial. The rest is advising SgtMaj's and XO's why what they want is blatantly illegal.
>>30034415
Find a place with staff holding CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist), TSAC-F (Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator, or CPT (Certified Personal Trainer) from the NSCA, ACSM, NASM.
Obviously Planet Fitness is garbage. Don't go to a Crossfit Gym. Youll be injured in six months. Other chains like Anytime Fitness and Gold's Gym are adequate for starting out. Ask for a trainer with the aforementioned certifications. Sign up for a longish commitment and make a big down payment. Invest time and money to force yourself to fulfill your commitment. Hopefully after 6ish months of training with a trainer, you can start working alone. Maybe you could even move to a more serious gym.
Before you pony up, have a lengthy talk with the trainer about your goals. If he doesn't listen and take notes, go somewhere else. Ask him what your initial plan would be. If he doesn't relate it to your goals, go somewhere else. Ask for cardio homework. When he gives the homework, ask about form and intensity and mode. If his answers aren't readily available, go somewhere else.
Do your cardio in the gym. Start showering and changing at the gym. If they have a sauna or tanning beds, use them. Spend all the time you need to spend to feel comfortable in the gym.
You'll have to improve your nutrition and sleep habits. This is good. It's the first step towards discipline. Don't worry about keeping up your range time. Everyone in the military gets the same starting line for marksmanship.
Use the money from a weeks worth of ammo to buy a "get selected" type book. Start learning and mentally preparing for the challenges in the upcoming course.
Good luck, /k/omrade. Remember that war was here long before you. It waited for you. The perfect trade waiting for its perfect practitioner.
>>30035134
oh nice
alright i gotta get that shit up then
how often do boards meet?
being a JAG sounds pretty kek, so youre a lawyer? you take the bar and everything?
arty would be fucking neat too. you like the whole corps culture? i feel as if the navy culture and history was neat but i liked the camaraderie in the marines. i also liked that book that fick wrote one bullet away i believe guess that influenced too.
>>30035252
Yeah, my job owns. And yes, I'm a legit attorney, admitted to the bar and everything. I just hate money I guess.
Arty is pretty neat, I'd definitely recommend it. I like most of the culture - the "every Marine a rifleman" gets shit on, but I love how every single Marine officer, even uber-POG's like myself, get 9 months of infantry-centric tactical training between OCS and TBS. There definitely is a greater sense of camaraderie between us than I've experienced in any joint environment I've seen, which I love. You really start to appreciate it in non-work situations where Marines are together.
>>30026263
What type of ammo cans, and at what wight are they?
Last pt test I did was 7 year ago.
Push ups 65
Sit ups 77
Run 13something
>>30035320
its a 4 year commitment, pretty much guaranteed O-3 barring retardation? with the 9 months of training it seems like youll only be serving 3 years. i always hear the air wing is kind of poo and the navy wanted 10 years so i wasnt too enthused about it. they got the ball too right? im guessing its a lot more managing than actually doing your job though
>>30035764
It depends on the MOS, but I'd say it's more common than not to be a Capt after 4. My MOS picks up Capt super fast. Everyone's got the ball, and personally, I fucking love the wing. The overall attitude is much more chill overall but that's just me. And spoiler alert - all MOS's are going to be managing when you're an officer, just some are less than others.
>>30035868
are you gonna do your 4 or get out? i think i'd just do a few years then get out, putting off my future so to speak. i just wish i knew what to do
thanks for all the answers dude really helpful in making this choice, gonna be hard to tell my nuke recruiter no though but i dont think i could put up with that shit. and as far as aviation goes i'd love to work with planes but not fly them. like an LSO.
traveling depends on the MOS too i'd suppose, that was another appealing part of the navy for me, see the night sky in the ocean and ports
>>30035173
thanks man, im not in too horrible shape, but im nowhere near commando ready. i kind of exaggerated my shit fitness on the first post. i really appreciate your detailed advice, i had no idea about those certifications and such. im about 6'3", 195lbs, ~19% BF according to digital scale. i go to the gym informally, just benching like 5 sets of 8 reps of 195lbs once every couple of weeks, and doing some squats and curls too. i have basically a dad bod, i guess. can run a mile in about 9 minutes, can run 2 miles straight in about 20 minutes. basically i would die at basic training for military, but im not obese so i hope i can train in time before my age limit kicks in
>>30034576
I'm doing a 115kg deadlift (regular bar variety you see in the gym at the moment) so I should be alright in that regard. I get what you mean about sub 9 min though, I went to have an interview for Sandhurst and it was all about "determination, aggression and best effort". I'm not going for the Para's but the QRH, although I want to be as fit as possible to have an edge. Hey ho, back to the running track anyhow.
I am interested in your workout plan. I'm currently doing Stronglifts 5x5 (three times a week) and running three or four times a week, but I'd like to see how it compares to your's. Would be much appreciated if you posted it so I can compare/make some changes.
Are you going for the parachute regiment as well? Congrats on it so far, best of luck with the rest of it mate.
>>30036128
Still haven't decided, it's going to depend on how much the private sector jobs will pay once I'm near the end of my 4. I love my job, but I can't imagine turning down a job that would pay me 3 times what the Corps will.
There's a lot of sweet wing jobs that people overlook - sounds like you're describing an NFO position, which is pretty fun. I've always thought LAAD (low altitude air defense) was a cool one but that's just me. As for travel, the Marines definitely offers the least attractive options in my opinion.
>>30025650
31 years old
Wounded in Afghanistan, now walk with aid of a cane
Haven't taken a PT test in years, can't do sit ups or run anymore.
Did 40 push ups last time I tried.
Currently 30 pounds overweight, medication side effects are weight gain.
Anyone know cardio work outs for someone who can't use one leg?
>>30041062
swimming? stationary bike? that arm bicycle and the rowing machines maybe
>>30041084
Stationary bike won't work for the same reason I can't run anymore.
One of my other problems is I live in the sticks and the closest gym is over a half hour away, then the closest with a year round pool is almost an hour and I can't afford a membership till my VA disability comes through.
Don't think I've ever seen a arm bike, what is that?
>>30025650
Age 19
Push ups in two minutes: 73
Sit ups in two minutes: 64
Two mile run: 12:03
Bleep test: 10.5
So, where do I stand?
>>30041096
its literally a bike but for just your arms
ive seen some wheelchair dude do that for cardio at my gym and the rowing machine
>>30041118
I'm going to look into that. I need something in my life. I'm tired of being fat and in pain.
I figure if I lose weight it will be less strain on my injury and thus less pain.
Not even enlisted yet but:
Push ups: +-180 (takes me about 3-4 minutes)
Pull ups: +-30
Running: I don't do gay shit
Crunches: See above
Are you all fuckers morbidly obese? Get /fit/ for Christ's sake.
>>30041166
You do realize pt standards in the military are pu/su within either 1 or 2 mins dependant on which branch, and without your 4 minute pushup routine you have jack shit on anybody but people who admit they aren't fit.
>>30041298
I just counted it, did 96 push ups in two minutes. Chest touched the ground erry time, not one was half assed.
Push ups are piss easy familia
>>30031568
It is relatively straight. Maybe you were always too weak-willed and sloppy.
>>30041360
Your chest isn't supposed to touch the ground.
>>30032486
You seem ass-hurt.
>>30041412
Do you even know how to do a proper push-up mate?
>>30041412
>>30041298
He's baiting m8

Who the fuck even are you? Why do you have a need to tripfag? You are just some random ass nigger no one gives a shit about.
Get a god diddly do fucking life you faggot
>>30034827
You're within regs.
>>30040980
were you physically ready when you first spoke with an OSO? wonder if i should try and aim for a wing contract instead for a non pilot slot
>>30035173
> mfw anytime fitness is 45/month for membership
> mfw planet fitness is like 10/month in city where I commute at for college
Goddammit, I dont give about muh 24/7 I just want to workout during the day
>>30041114
Work on that core.
>>30041166
Crunches and running aren't gay and you'll have to do them.
>>30041468
I tripfag sometimes, deal with it.
>>30041096
>>30041118
>>30041133
i also recommend the arm bike, those are great cardio machines
Not military but here my numbers copying others' format:
age: 29
Push ups in 2 mins: 115
Sit ups in 2 mins: easily 120
Running: 3 miles in under 20mins continuous running
I also compete in Kettlebell Sport where I lift two 32kg kettlebells to over head from a hanging position continuously without rest for 10mins. I weigh 160 lbs, and two 32kg bells weigh about 140.8lbs. I can usually get at least 40 reps in that time.
>>30041477
Not in the least - I was running probably like a 170. Could barely do 8 pull ups. Dropped about 40lbs over 3 months and upped my game a lot. Go for whatever you can get, and see what's available.
>>30044265
Alright thanks man, you've given me a lot to think about, gotta think over what I'm going to do now because this sounds more and more appealing by the day. I honestly hadn't even considered it too hard before
Wish I could buy you a drink
>>30025678
PU: 60
SU: 79
2-mile: 12:59
Good enough to get selected to Civil Affairs.
>>30025650
40 pushups (1 min)
70 situps (1 min)
10:10 (1.5 mile)
My pushups are fucking garbage and I don't know why. I do tons of pushups as practice, plus chest presses and such. Can't increase past 40.
>>30045626
>1.5 mile run:12:12
>Situps 1 min:45
>Push ups 1 min: 50
>27 in waist
I'm a lazy shit and I still got an 87.2 on the AFPT Test.
do the marines want pullups or curl ups?
>>30046827
You mean pull ups or chin ups?
As in the way your hands are facing. Doesn't matter. You hang with "dead arms" then pull your chin above the bar.
General consensus is "chin ups curl ups" fingertips facing you are harder than fingertips pointing away.
However both are allowed, to each their own.
>>30026413
Okay ass, pull ups, crunches, 3 Miles is PFT
Movement to contact, ammo can lifts, and maneuver under fire is CFT.
No one cares about the IST
>>30047048
Disregard butt hurt^^ thought you where saying something else here.
>>30041503
Yeah, but you're one of the lame ones.
Nasty Girl boot bitch.

I have noodle arms but no one will go to the gym with me and im lonly going by myself :C

Aw, Anon doesn't love me! Whatever will I do? Prolly keep shitposting.
Age: 26
Pushups: 50ish
Situps: 80ish
2 mile run: Dunno, never tried. I think it's safe to say I could do it in under 18 minutes though.
