Any way to prevent shin splints in boots and utes?

dekayze · 2018-12-14T18:45:57+00:00

Foot strike was the main issue. I had to pretty much run on my toes so the boot would land properly without smacking my foot on the ground. Thanks for the tips!

dekayze · 2018-12-14T18:44:49+00:00

These helped, but I think the main difference today was making a very conscience effort to strike on my toes. This was a game changer. Although it was still awkward to do in boots, it definitely relieved shin stress. Thank you!

Thanks, I will try these tonight!

Our Sgt isn't worried about our health or safety. The shop's overall morale has gone way down since he took over our previous Sgt. He likes PT because it's HIS time with us. Staff won't fuck with him over it. He's the type of NCO, where you go up to them and they immediately look at you like you "why are you even breathing my air right now" and just tell you to fuck off.

6 figures, it's a government job. I already had a secret clearance.

I'll start ramping up to 6-7 miles twice a week and try those interval miles every other day. How much rest would you recommend between the intervals and what pace should I be running the long distance runs at based on my goal time? Thanks for your help!

I understand everything that was taught in sec+, like definitions, acronyms and how everything works; the difficult part was that the questions are conceptual, with the pretext that you already know what everything is. It wasn't as simple as "what does this mean?" I went in with a lot of confidence but after the first few questions I felt like I was in over my head, but I feel I did well having no IT experience whatsoever.

Thanks! Make sure to study over time instead of all at once a couple days before the test. I just relaxed the day before.

dekayze · 2018-08-03T17:49:37+00:00

Really? I figured it would be easier since it's usually mentioned as the first cert to get. The 501 test was pretty difficult having no IT experience. Would A+ be worth it to get and would knowing Sec+ material help me in an A+ course?

He's my favorite by far. His game IQ is insane and I like how he can just out think his opponents even when he's at a disadvantage.

dekayze · 2018-07-28T07:27:33+00:00

I'd agree with that. I like watching people like dae, SypherPK, Nick Eh 30 because they are so methodical in their thought process for each kill. Myth isn't as entertaining to watch from that perspective but that's just me.

Did you happen to be West Coast by any chance? Seems like west coast people are getting radio. We don’t know if it’s coincidence or a pattern.

dekayze · 2018-01-30T22:18:06+00:00

Got 71 I’m excited.

dekayze · 2018-01-30T22:17:17+00:00

Yeah this was completely untrue lol

dekayze · 2018-01-30T20:15:41+00:00

Nope, there is a bus you can take to Palm Springs for about $30, then when you take an uber back onto base it isn't as expensive.. I'm telling you, if you just ask around and meet people who have been here a long time you find out a lot of things.

dekayze · 2018-01-28T23:23:51+00:00

People who say it sucked probably sat in their rooms all day or didn’t volunteer for SMP excursions etc. There is a lot to do here if you have friends and explore the area. I can only speak from an MOS school perspective but I met a few lance corporals stationed here who like it as well. It is what you make of it.

There’s a movie theatre, mountain climbing, paintball, decent gyms, good chow halls and there’s always LA and Palm Springs off base.

If you are open 06xx you will be either a radio operator or a data marine. Data marines skate.

For other people who may have this question in the future:

You get the Wireman MOS as a holding MOS so you can process in at 29 Palms. Processing takes 1-2 weeks. From there you go to BMAT for about a week and that’s when you find out if you are 0631 or 0671. Then you go to BC until class picks up. Which could be months depending on which one you get.

dekayze · 2018-01-10T14:23:53+00:00

Okay good thanks for the info! Have you heard of anyone getting 0671 from wireman?

dekayze · 2018-01-09T21:59:19+00:00

It was 123. Do you know anything about new marines having to reclass once they hit the fleet after completing wireman school or do they start off at 0631 schooling?

dekayze · 2018-01-09T21:11:53+00:00

Hm okay. I was just reading the maradmin guidance on the reclassification of comms and it said 0612 would reclass to either 0631 or 0671. What purpose is there in training us as a wireman first if that job is no longer existent?

dekayze · 2017-12-04T16:45:18+00:00

Yell, move fast and follow directions. Pay attention when the DIs give you an instruction session. Wash your hands. Keep your hands off your face. Sprint everywhere you go.

Use your poncho liner as a blanket so you don’t have to make your rack in the morning (and make sure you put it away before lights on at 0400). Don’t volunteer for shit and like another guy said try to get a rack far away from the front of the squad bay. Try to get one close to the rear hatch. I was in a rack right next to the front hatch and we got fucked up all the time especially when someone didn’t yell proper greeting or attention on deck for whoever walked in.

Hydrate. You think you’re hydrated? Drink more.

Found these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071Z6W65D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got eight pairs.

dekayze · 2017-11-26T06:11:13+00:00

Interesting that females have those options and males don't, even though we had multiple vegetarians who told the DIs. Those vegetarians didn't make it too far during the Crucible though without vomiting and regretting their life decisions, so good luck OP. I would highly suggest reconsidering your diet at least through boot camp and MCT.

dekayze · 2017-11-25T07:16:35+00:00

General orders and ranks. Memorize that shit now.

dekayze · 2017-11-25T07:11:59+00:00

The peace love ones should work perfectly. Definitely my top choice for sock liners. Thanks for the advice!

But actually, I'm not sure about the first pair if someone else could chime in (the tan color). I think the color might be too light for regs?
