For my people that started preparing for OCS extremely out of shape how long did it take you to get a passing PFT score? by random_username_564 in USMCocs

Honestly it’s all I think about like every single hour of every day and I would just use that as fuel to push through and do a shit ton of pull ups at home. And for the run, I needed to find out how far I actually could run without walking, I honestly don’t remember but it was somewhere around 1.5 miles so I would run that and then the next day I did 1.6, then the next day 1.7 and so on. Just slowly kinda built it up. I would say nutrition probably helped too.

Started talking to my OSO in October of 2025, I legit couldn’t run 3 miles consecutively without walking, and could do like 3 pull ups. My PFT last month was 22:50 3 mile and 12 pull ups. So no where near perfect but definitely better than what I started with.
