Since I'll hopefully get my ducks covered/aligned to show for this, I'll start this early.

For Marines seeking training partners in the Pendleton area: PM me and I'll get you set along the right path. Some guys randomly show up and run a 300 PFT then swim a 6 minute 300m... but for the rest of us without Tiger Blood, training partners are essential to see yourself improve.

As I've stated in previous threads I work at the Horno Pool as the MCIWS and have no problem helping people out individually. These past 2 months a few guys have asked for help and consequently dropped 2-3 minutes off their 300m swim and are immensely better at deep water shenanigans.

My 300m in cammies - 7:08
I average 6mph on my rucks. (Still suck on distance, though. I got slimey after I got a break from Battalion, heh.)
PFT - Still working on 100% strict pull ups. I've developed a mini kip over the years, so I am starting over at about 5 super strict pull ups.

I really like the Short Card for strength as opposed to weight lifting so I'll be doing that.
 
Those are beastly stats! I'll be striving to get times that good come August. Definitely will be making time to get MCIWS'd up in Horno, as the civilian run pools over on mainside don't let you engage in any underwater activities.
 
How's it going everyone. I was originally slated for the 15-2 class but due to some vision requirement paperwork I'll be attending in August if this all goes according to plan.

Looking for a training partner in Oki though. Anyone from foster down to kinser. I have a car so anyone looking for a training pal that'd be great!
 
Hey gents, just confirmed 15-3 here. Reservist based north of Boston, crossfit/MARSOC prep guide/land nav/pool, ocean work going to keep busy for the next 100 days or so.
Looking forward to hearing everyones training stats and meeting when we get to stone bay.

Former active duty now Reservist here.
I got the phone call last week and am now slated to attend 15-3.
I've been trying to get my reserve package together since November of last year. Some days it felt like it was never going to happen, but I want to thank @Matt1017 for all his help in sorting everything out.
I have a lot of work between now and then, but I'm excited to see everyone there.
 
Figured I'd give a progress update. Hope everyone else will join in.

Did a 4 mile run yesterday then threw cammies on and did my 300m. Got it done in 9:44. Actually seemed to do better swimming winded then fresh for some reason.

For my 8 mile ruck I'm able to keep my miles just under 11 minutes on flat ground. Been having some shin issues lately so next week I'm only going to swim and do one long ruck.

I'll tell you going from a competitive powerlift at 230 lbs and 71 inches to gearing up for MARSOC is a huge change but my body loves it. I'm down to 210 and plan on dropping to 200 before A&S.

Also for pull ups underhand I can bang out 20 strict no problem. Probably closer to 30. But overhand I can barely do 15 strict. I mean not that it matters since underhand will be the way I go at A&S but that really bothers me.

Haven't tested my run time recently. Last I ran a PFT I ran a 21:20. Goal is sub 2030 come August.

How's everyone else looking?
 
Young_devil1214, Sounds like you are doing great,
Here goes my first progress update,

I recently restarted the 10-week fitness prep adding in an extra day of swimming and occasionally a few days of weight lifting. One of the hardest things has been eating enough to not drop too much weight.

I did a 300m swim yesterday as part of the Week 3 Day 4 workout. I came in at 8:45.9 doing strictly breast stroke. I have been laying down similar times even after running a PFT.

I haven't done a 12 mile ruck for a couple months, but the last time I was at 2:43. That included taking a 15 minute break halfway through that I probably didn't need. More recently I did 6.8 miles in 1:12.

My last PFT was a 291. I had our company XO grade me and specifically asked him to be as strict as possible. He kindly obliged;-). I've run below 18:00 before but I still have some work if I want to be running that fast come August.
Run: 19:25
Crunches: 100
Pull-Ups: 20

I'm excited to hear how everyone else is doing!
