That makes me feel a little better haha. I mean I know these aren't SOF doctors so I'm hoping the HM1 I send this to tomorrow will say I'm all good. Just sucks it's been over a year. Damn Marine Corps medical

Some good news this morning my 1stSgt used to be up at 3rd recon so he's gonna see if he can get me up there for a week or so to work with either the force or battalion guys, which would obviously be a huge help. Really pullin for that.

Gonna redo my 7-8 mile ruck tomorrow. Goal is under 1:30

Is there anybody training on/near Quantico?

Good evening Gents,
just felt like posting some stats trying to judge where everyone is at with their training.

PFT: (279) 20 pull ups/100 crunch/ 21:30 run
5mile ruck: 1hr 09min 65lb pack/8lb sledge
300m swim: full cammies after 3 mi run 8:44
underwater crossovers (full cammies): easy day

On week five of the recommended program plus supplemental work such as drown proofing, fin's, crossfit work outs, and recovery yoga. Anyone else have similar programming or have any input?

We have a 15-3 thread open........

Hey man, can you repost witha link to the thread? tried to search A&S 15-3 but its to short or to common to search. Thanks!

 

[WarHeadsOn4Heads12]

Hey, whats going on guys!? Im also attending the 15-3 class. seems I am a little behind the curve with all the times posted but i just dropped my package and 2 months is a long time to catch up. Any of you guys in the Flores area of Camp Pen? also pretty pumped to see that there will be a few guys from Mass that will be there (from Quincy). take care guys and keep killing it!

Administrative Note:

I merged two similar threads, moving one from the "legacy" Marine-specific area to this generic prep area. If anyone thinks the location should be MARSOC vice here, shoot me a message and we can discuss offline.

Well don't need to worry about trying to lose anymore weight. Myself, my wife, and son all got food poisoning last week. Which in turn sent my wife into labor a month early. So a week at the hospital, throwing up everything I have possibly eaten in my entire life, and only eating once a day I'm down 15 lbs!

On a more serious note I had to take the last 8 days off from training due to my second son being born. Tonight is the first night back into it. Not taking it lightly. Gonna do a 10 mile ruck and a 1k swim.

1 more month to really kick ass and get these times down gents.

 

[Derdang]

Anyone that's going to attend A&S make sure you check out the Mentor Circle for MARSOC. Thanks

 

[Derdang]

I'm willing to meet some Marines at the New River pool saturday morning for some swim work. Any takers?

 

[Hillclimb]

I'll be there as well Derdang. You'll recognize me :-"

 

[Derdang]

Ha Interesting, but I don't think anyone is going to take us on our offer. I see a lot of people training for A&S in cammies and they're struggling to make it one lap. People need to learn to swim before adding cammies which results in your form being worst then it already was.

The pool opens at 10AM, if I receive a message before that time, I will head to the NEW RIVER POOL

I would if I wasn't stuck in god forsaken Okinawa. Any chance you wanna fly out here for some pool work? Haha

 

[Derdang]

I'm on leave if your willing to pay for the first class flight and 5 star hotel. But I could only stay for couple hours

Thank you for the tip about getting the mechanics of swimming down before adding the cammies. I don't think I'll have the chance to make it to New River before A&S. How frequently do you practice yoga to stay loose while training? And is there any particular type you prefer?

 

[Derdang]

I don't if your asking me about yoga but I don't do yoga I'm more of a http://www.mobilitywod.com/. I might be going up to Loudoun County, Virginia, might be close to where you are located.

I absolutely wish I was still in the fleet instead of an I&I!

What does everyone use to brush up on land nav? Now that MCI has transitioned over and I did Cpl's course 2 years ago I'm kind of at a loss. I've used various websites from the army, civ etc but I really don't feel like any of them are the in depth material that I am looking for. As of right now my weakest point is land nav and I have the next month to go into ASPOC with a good understanding already.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

@Young_devil1214 - Are you still stuck in Oki? Otherwise track down an REI, their land nav classes are really good.
