I did MCRD San Diego right about the same time of year a number of years back.

Christmas in boot camp is...interesting. And, we got to watch the Super Bowl as well!

Start running...now. Start doing dead hang pull ups....now Start doing sit ups....now

And then run some more and do more pull ups and sit ups.

And let your folks scream at you while you do it as well.

What MOS?

Good Luck!

Ahhh yes....good times

Do yourself a favor and start running now! You'll need to be able to do at least 5 dead hang pull-ups. The minimum is 3. Do 40 sit-ups in 2 minutes and run 3 miles less than 28 minutes. Your first test will be a 1 1/2 mile run. You'll need to do in in less that 14 minutes or they'll paint a red stripes on your shirt. about 1/4th of my platoon had them stripes...If you can run 3 miles in less than 28 minutes, do 10 or more dead hang pull ups and your goldedn...If not...Start working now. Its easier with out DI's screaming at you...Been there done that!

Semper Fi.

Congrats and Thanks!!

I saw a young Army solider at Joe Cotton's in Robstown last night. I guess he was on leave or something from Ft. Hood. I asked where he was stationed. I told him my brother and my friend were in Iraq now, although my friend was on home leave for 2 weeks. I thanked him for serving and mentioned that my friend was a helicopter pilot. He said he was a cook and I thanked him again, saying my brother wouldn't have anything to it if it weren't for him.

God Speed.
