@musicman216: yeah, be extremely fit in all areas. PT is 2 hrs long and will test your whole body in ways you could never train for at home. For instance, one course is a 4-5 mile run with a dozen cardio stations in boots and utes, h-harness, war belt, and rifle. After negotiating all the obstacles and stations, you run back to the PT field and continue to do circuit training for another hour or so. Push-ups, pull-ups, rope climbs, dips, lunges, sprints, buddy carry, and so much more!

Wellrounded physical fitness, not wellrounded shape :)

[musicman216]

So Upper body strength? Or endurance? Or both? Doing 20 chin-ups isn't that hard- but it's a very specific muscle group. Is your PFT a good guide, is it better to be wellrounded?

[cherry8605]

@musicman216: yes, i'd say that would be sufficient. That is par for most companies. However, it's nothing to see guys running 16-17 min, so the faster the better. They've recently added much more strength exercises, so upper body strength is more important now than before. Semper Fi

[musicman216]

So how was it?

[musicman216]

So running is the best advice? Is a 21 min mile sufficient?

I have a question. I've seen images of a tall ladder-type structure at OCS. The images have only been slight and not very clear but it looked as if it the distance between steps is taller as you got to the top. Is this true or were my eyes deceiving me?

not everybody can do good for his country only afew and the brave, many have tried but only few survived, if you want the world to see you join in the marines and youll see whats behind that title that keeps them moving on
