Outstanding, this is what every military branch should do. I just retired, and this is the army helping army. I believe teaching this to new soldiers will help build the force. I was lucky and came into the Army in good shape, but that was because my young life style was very active.
This is great. It should in all the other military branches. I experience the fitness program in Fort Jackson in the late 1980s. I 'am glad they improved it. Allways Forward! It help me as a recruit and person.
Appreciate your content, sir! Opinions from vets like yourself weighing in on some of these issues and programs for a person who will hopefully be entering the military in a few months is outstanding!
I’m 6’5 260 gotta get to 220 before I even talk to marine corp recruiters…it’d be really good for over/under weight kids to have fat camp to help transition to being very active especially should be available for infantry which is what I’m pursuing.💯🇺🇸💙
@@ThoughtProvokingpodcast79 usually 3 eggs for breakfast and fast for the rest of the day until dinner which is usually 2 chicken breast and 2 cups of mixed vegetables or a cup of broccoli. I was 320lbs down to 260 as of now.
In my Army days 1967-1971 BCT was the Fat Camp. If a recruit was too thick around the middle, a DI would follow him down the chow line-no bread or potatoes, no desserts...."More PT Dril lSergeant !" Several veterans of Fort Jackson in the 1980s said there was a Fat Boys Company-restricted diet and extra PT>
At Ft Jackson in '67, their version of 'fat camp" was on a random basis.. They would let 10 guys get seconds in the chow line at breakfast, and then take a jeep and run them til they puked it up...We were called a lot of things by the instructors then,, but "fat" was one then that never got on the list..

I agree this is something that the Marine Corps Recruits could benefit from. May I ask you what your diet consists of?

I went to basic at Ft. Benning in 1990 and the drill instructions Definitely did not let overweight people eat whatever they wanted
