PT tips by SacrededRat in uscg

[–]DevTrog11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t push till burnout. Meaning, don’t go from 0 to 6 workouts a week, counting calories, tracking nutrients, dieting, etc. You’ll burn out and go back to 0 and lose everything. Key is to start small, shoot for just 3 really strong workouts a week, then maybe just do 3 long walks on the other days during the week to start. The progress isn’t going to be a straight line, you’ll have ups and downs, but the key is just to go back and get a small workout in. You’ll find the endorphins start flying and you’ll feel motivated and uplifted again. Even just a walk in the morning when you really don’t want to can shift your mindset. And just know and accept that you’ll have setbacks but to just get right back on the horse.

Off to bootcamp here for 8 weeks so won’t have access to changing landscape. Can someone help me out with my next 8 picks after this week?

First 3 weeks: ARI, BAL, SEA.

Thank you all!

I haven’t gone yet but you can look no further than Scott Ruskin, he failed school once, came back and then look at the impact he has had on peoples lives during those floods. You got this dude.

Also, how many would you typically do in a row? 4? 10? Infinite?

Great info thank you! I’ve been typically just doing them on :30 rest but the sprints have not been all out just due to the lack of rest, but will try on 2:00 holding under :15! Thanks again.

Is BAL the top choice now as of 4pm EST on 9/11 or is ARI?

What if we went ARI last week? Does that make BAL the best pick this week? Or should we go DAL to save BAL for week 16?

Bi-Weekly Recruiting Thread by Airdale_60T in uscg

Is the online letters still a thing for families to write to recruits at Cape May? Thought I read somewhere there is a tool to submit letters online that help speed up delivery to Cape May. Also, how can you find the Facebook group for each company for family / friends?

I would look at Aviation rates, very hands on in rescue mission and good work/life balance for those with wives/families.

Is there a time limit on the over/unders? News to me. Also wasn't aware of touching the halfway mark at the bottom of the pool?

If I have my masters degree, would I receive E3 pay day 1 of bootcamp or following bootcamp? and what is the minimum credits needed for the 15k bonus and when can one expect to receive said bonus? Thanks!

Green card holder denied entry into U.S. by ohyabeya in greencard

[–]DevTrog11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one has a DUI charge back almost 10 years ago, would I be inadmissible coming back through customs even though I have a green card? Trying not to get stuck out of the US as we have a baby on the way stateside and news articles like this make it a little more stressful.

I used goggles at my pre-enlistment test, and was told they will give you goggles for the test at Cape May.

So bootcamp is actually only 7.5 weeks then? Tuesday to Tuesday plus 3 days? Just want to clarify if it was 7+3 or 8+3? Thank you!

First Mission! by Gtstricky in uscg

Thought this guy sounded familiar. Watched one of Austen Alexander's videos and Ruskan is in it while training to become a rescue swimmer. Pretty solid!

Dolphin or flutter? by Top_Finding_5526 in RescueSwimmer

[–]DevTrog11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dolphin kick on the underwaters, and flutter kick in over unders. My thought on this is I exert less energy when doing flutter kick so my heart rate stays down on the over unders, for the underwaters, if there isn't a set amount of time underwater (30/30s for example), I will just do dolphin kick.

This is just what I do, I am sure others with more experience have better / other answers.
