im in the delayed entry program now, and my biggest fear is running. i know that sounds silly, but when we pt and run our six miles i usually am the first to fall out of line. i dont end last but its very challenging. do you have any advice? or did you ever have that problem with running?

@mellichoo

Go running all the time, you will eventually get used to it. You need to realise you are only going to be feeling the pain for 6 miles (Or however far the distance is) and afterwards, it will be gone. (Unless you get a beastin straight afterwards)

not everybody can do good only a few, if you want the world to see you join in the marines and you will know whats behind that title, many have tried but only few survived,

I'm going into the Marines as a female as well and i'm glad it's filled with women like yourself.

I was somewhat scared before joining the Marines but now thinking back i want the challenge and i know that everything will go alright.

Semper Fidelis :)

Good Luck with boot camp. It can be challenging but rewarding at the end. If your interested email me your name and if you know your Company or Platoon information as well. I'll write you throughout.
