I just ran the O course at Maritime college. Much harder than it looks on TH-cam. I have a 291 PFT and it was a killer. Guess its all about efficient technique.
I remember feeling like a Superman when I'd developed enough upper body strength to climb the ropes without using my legs. One rope in each hand. Good times.. The brotherhood that you develop when going through boot camp, OCS , and being in the Marines can only be described as life changing. At times it sucks. At times you'll be freezing you @$$ and others you'll be so hot that you'll wanna strip down and continue training in skivvies (underwear to the uninitiated 😁).... The sleep deprivation will be brutal yet you won't be alone because your fellow Marines, recruits, candidates will be right there with you and you'll draw strength from one another. If you are considering joining the military, and I might be biased, give the USMC a good hard look.. Opportunities abound. If you are enlisted, take advantage of tuition assistance and earn your degree. Train your mind and body hard and take advantages of some unique opportunities only available to Marines(embassy duty being one). Note: Every branch will open doors to a wide range of opportunities to enhance your skills.. The Navy offers a nuke program that's second to none.. But I digress, for the enlisted folks, find out which MCI's you can take that are worth actual college credits. Take internet classes when deployed. Take advantage of the litany of chances you'll have to improve yourself professionally. NBC schooling, Six-Sigma training. Learn everything you can about your job and strive to be the best everyday. Kick ass during Monday morning inspections, don't suck up to ANYONE but treat everyone with respect. You don't have to be a 300 PFT'er or an expert marksman BUT you'll stand out and your higher:ups will give you every opportunity that they can to help you succeed not only in the Corps but in life. Knowledge is POWER!!! Gain as much knowledge as you can, get that colleges degree (in something that will actually help in civilian life like Business or Accounting)... If you do that, you can write your ticket. The Corps will pay you big time to stay & the civilian world will pay you even bigger to leave and join their team. Speaking from experience here. I started off as an Aviation Ordnanceman, got my degree, took advantages of the various schools offered and became a Water Treatment Sales Engineer for a company called NALCO...
Underrated comment. It even has a twist in the end.. I though you were gonna say something like "I am a 6 star general in Martian nuke embassy" or something like that but turns out it is even better :p jk aside, you have cracked the code of modern life. Knowledge is the truest power in life. A well versed person is capable of living better life than superman. Lex Luthor 》superman.
7 years late but there is no time limit just go through the course the only timed events they care about in bootcamp is PFT CFT and the 2 parts of swim qual where you float for like 2 minutes and when you have to strip all your gear underwater in 30 seconds
The current record is 53 seconds.
My fastest time is 1:22. It's harder than it looks.
