@JohnMagillM It's nothing majorly bad it's more of an effect caused from bronchitus (excuse my bad spelling with that) I can physically perform the same just a little short breath at times.
@Scottishamerican1995 If you have any form of asthma, theres a good chance you wont be able to get in at all. I had it as a kid, outgrew by time i was 13, even then i needed several doctors and several in depth physicals to show i was good to go. And that was in 1989. I would call up a recruiter, talk to him and see what they say. But go give your name. good luck to you
@twoeightythreez any tips i'm in high school i'm in good shape it's just my asthma that kills me in runs, I don't have the severe asthma just enough to beat me down like you said your bronchitis done to you.
I went through in 2001. Most all the old barracks were still there then. We did spend a heluva lot of time just marching between buildings.It makes sense for drill but you don't really march anywhere when in a ship...so I guess this new setup makes some sense. but 8 week bootcamp? Wow...and I thought my bootcamp was short.
I was beat down and nearly ASMO'd because I had bronchitis and couldn't sound off loud enough. My division routinely packed into the cloak room (all 88 of us!) and would pt till it started to "rain" indoors. It all paid off though. If you actually believe that this bootcamp video is what actually happens, go ahead and join and see how fast u get a wake up call. And believe me, those recruits got it 3x as hard once that film crew left, lol! It may not be marine bootcamp but it's still bootcamp!
THis is not the bootcamp I went through, lol! My RDC's favorite words were DROP, you turd! They were in our faces from the time we got on the bus at the airport. Our "ship" (Uss Josephus Daniels, ship 10) looked like it hadn't been used in months. We got beat down because it was dirty. Our RDC (who looked like the black incredible hulk) liked throwing our shit and mattresses out the window. I got thrown to the deck from my top rack because my dress shoes weren't in the footlocker straight.
Great Lakes. We called it Great Mistakes.
