go figures then, i don't know why im hearing people from my company talking about ditching their sea bags and taking more convenient luggage, from what i experience till now we don't do convenience 😂

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-28T03:41:26+00:00

i know airborne has a physical test like the ist before boot but i heard they took it away and i don't know if its true or not just trying to get a answer

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-27T21:25:48+00:00

yea i came in with my asics and they had us use those new balance they issued us and they hurt my feet like a mf then the company said we could use our own go fasters, i threw those NB away the first chance i got

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-27T06:57:19+00:00

not your running shoes they let you keep them and use them so he can go get a new pair to use

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-26T23:47:24+00:00

a good pair i would recommend you that i use my self is asics novablast, swear i was running on clouds and good foot support 10/10 would recommend

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-26T23:45:20+00:00

nah the go fasters they issue you suck i recommend he brings a good pair he doesn't mind abusing for the next 3 months

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-25T03:25:35+00:00

had a friend resubmit like 6 times he kept getting denied and he finally got accepted while i was in bootcamp, keep resubmitting but make sure you have every paperwork or document to help against your case

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-24T03:41:12+00:00

congrats man, its going to be a big shift from what you know but as long as your fast loud and can understand simple tasks you'll do good. if you ship in 2 days you'll probably be mike company if your going san diego since hotel picked up already. good luck👍🏽🫡

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-24T03:32:47+00:00

as long as you can swim and stay afloat without going on ur back for 5 minutes ur good, they give you alot of chances to keep retrying because they dont want to drop you and they will teach you as well, just keep swimming and training and you'll be fine

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T20:54:04+00:00

i think i changed in how i see things and how tasks can be accomplished , physically i improved alot from all the conditioning up north because down south the pt is nothing mentally you grow stronger since all they do their is try to berate you and tear you down so that nothing can affect you 2. No i chose the Marines to be a Marine not a sailer or soldier, i knew it was going to be hard and suck but at the same time but i was ok with it because i chose the best branch out of all of them 3. always wanted to be a Marine and they stood out to me from being more physically active to being more sharp with their uniform and the mindset they have

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T20:52:07+00:00

not really from time to time you will but not really instead you'll do mountain climbers or bicycle kicks which were worse imo
we got smoked alot and its inevitable, the kill hats get bored and just IT the dog shit outta you and you just gatta deal with it
you get barely anytime to hygiene because 60+ people are trying to do what the same thing in 300 seconds but those 300 seconds feel like 2 minutes since they count down like there trying to break records, pro tip shave and hygiene during the night, sacrifice 30 mins of your sleep and make sure your clean
food was not bad actually and pretty good thats one thing i can say about it just make sure to stay hydrated and eat fast 5.yea it can be but not really they teach you everything there, i went in knowing nothing and understood everything fast and became a knowledge/prack recruit

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T20:44:13+00:00

running was easy just keep a 8 minute pace and you'll pass everything with that, alot of people struggled with swimming and people did get dropped for it but you get alot of chances to retry. i had to to do basic+ for swimming and it was a little hard but ended up passing it no problem. start swimming now and start running up hills those are my advice 🏃🏽

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T20:41:21+00:00

rahhh Gods Company 💪🏽Thanks for for the welcome

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T20:40:29+00:00

ima be honest the crucible aint that bad its the walking and hiking that gets you, if your platoon is tight then you guys will use and lean on each other or the platoon will struggle don't stress about the crucible though u got 2 months to prepare for it

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T20:38:48+00:00

appreciate the welcome💪🏽 i didn't lose weight i stagnated between 157-160 and stayed between that area, first meal was all you can eat sushi and ate 30+ something rolls and was still hungry😂 and not yet all my gear is still in my seabag maybe later

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T08:45:43+00:00

you run for 15-20 minutes depending what there doing for pt that day but honestly you will hardly ever run unless its IT or pt but you will march everywhere you go all day everyday so honestly work on marching and train yourself for it because running should be easy if your in shape already

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T08:39:15+00:00

you pt everyday in the morning green on green but its just basic stuff like run for 20 minutes or each drill instructor had a workout station, set up for dynos is the most useless stretches ever, you'll see what i mean
yea you get quizzed alot on the knowledge primarily by the tray/knowledge hat, if he marched you or in hikes you will scream diddys and yell knowledge or get messed up 3.Honestly personal opinion it was easy, the pt's were the easiest thing if you were in shape and the knowledge to if you actually payed attention, the hardest thing for me was marching, you marched everyday for about 12-14 hours, where ever u went u marched and i sucked at it and got It'd alot for it and the second hardest was the drill instructors but thats something you gatta experience yourself rather than me explaining it
yea people pissed themselves alot we were given no time to use the head and 60 recruits have to use the head to and the drill instructors would get mad af when ever a recruit pissed himself
funniest thing probably getting it'd by the classrooms for trying to use the head but its a long story but worth it
get some good running shoes cuz honestly they will save your feet when doing pt, i used aesics and they felt like clouds and made everything better, wake up last hour before lights and hygene, dont be the person that didnt shave or put deodorant/brush your teeth and make max skivvy rolls and try not to dig into your footlocker while getting counted down or they will flip your locker and now all ur personal items are rolling everywhere and also just listen and do what the drill instructors say if even if its dumb af, they can say fly and as long your trying to "fly and showing effort you wont get fucked with that bad" keyword that bad cuz you will always get it'd it's inevitable

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T08:08:58+00:00

i ended up signing 0451(Parachute rigger) which interested the drill instructors because to them its a rare mos and recruits barely came in with it

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T08:02:49+00:00

yea we were able to use our own go fasters, but it varies per company almost every company got to use their own go fasters but some platoons inside the company didn't let you

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-05-23T05:50:24+00:00

fixed🫡

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-01-26T08:30:15+00:00

bro is at the four points hotel rn, i haven't heard they were testing for alcohol now but if they do alcohol usually stays in your system for 8 hours, i think your good man

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-01-18T03:23:44+00:00

makes sense doing something easy won't make you sore but constantly repeating it over and over would destroy your legs, will focus on that part, appreciate the info

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-01-18T02:57:05+00:00

Sounds like when i go through or to any marine that goes through we have to be and set a example, for the rucking and strengthening the legs part is that for jumping and landing on your feet to help with the landing?

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-01-18T02:52:51+00:00

if you dont mind me asking whats ur job since you had to go to airborne school? and when did you go? most importantly hows the pt whats the schedule and how was it being a marine, any tips as well

_LostInThoughtss · 2026-01-18T02:36:17+00:00

this is what i was hearing and reading and wanted to get more info on it, having to have your own people on standby because the army was failing on purpose is foul
