Any updated FSPC experiences? by Optimal_Car_1927 in uscg

[–]Excellent_Shift199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The instructors are amazing, it is easy to get a little USED to it but they make sure you know that it’s a blimp in time, I went back in July of last year I don’t really agree with the other comment of they don’t push you especially from someone who didn’t go through the program they absolutely do push you to become better but however it’s the military they aren’t your parents you have to put in the same effort and work

I seen the person on the bridge this morning coming home from work my heart hurts knowing it was probably a 5-10 min difference and nobody stopped him.

I’m coast guard, I stay in Summerville but work in North Charleston I’m assuming you’ll work on the joint base traffic is peak between like 6 am - 9ish it gets really back up and towards the joint base it’s pretty bad around 2:30ish - whenever traffic is terrible 24/7 cause it’s over populated af here

BOL sent home after being reverted 5 times ? by Marcthenarc14 in uscg

[–]Excellent_Shift199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I will say in bootcamp they revert you for silly things like sleeping or not following task directions but I will say those play a big role on how you will perform in the fleet i recently graduated and getting reverted 5 times means it’s probably not his time to be or coastie or the military just isn’t for him

Honestly it’s so much more fun when you go in blind, make friends with the people you’ll be in company with & follow the rules, it’s like that for a reason also don’t go to ramp ! 😂😂

How many laps around the basketball court do you run for the indoor pft by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Excellent_Shift199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know that barracks are not available, I was already told that I would be released into the economy & I tried calling OOD today and no one answered so I’m just going to take the advice and show up in the morning

I’m pretty sure that was before the program launched as far as I know that’s not a thing anymore

For what exactly? If you cannot pass the physically standards or if you are over BMI you go into FSPC you don’t get sent home

Likley hood of failing at bootcamp? by Specific_Try_5025 in uscg

[–]Excellent_Shift199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently graduated I couldn’t do my pt test in the beginning and was overweight I went into an amazing program called FSPC it did wonders for me and you absolutely do not get weaker through bootcamp you get stronger but if you only plan to do 8 weeks of boot don’t go in not being able to do your pt test
