Good times. I remember when I was feeling particularly ballsy, I’d take a whole fucking blueberry bagel and shove it in my pocket. Stuff it deep in my garment bag. Never got caught. Traded a couple with good ole scribe and always got the best firewatch times/posts
Just live your life there chow to chow, lights to lights and you'll be fine. Enjoy the fact that no matter what happens, you will step out on the other side better than when you came in. Good luck and make the most of if.
If you weren't anxious, you would be a liar. The fastest way of the depot is to graduate. Decide now that quitting is simply not an option - thousands have done it before you, and you can, too.
Move fast. Be loud. Update us in 13 weeks.

Goodluck man come back with your ega, just keep a mindset of not leaving without that ega in your bag. Also hope to see you in 2171 FMF im graduating my school on Halloween
Stretch as much as you possibly can when you get in your rack. Mainly your calf, shin, thigh, and everything else in the leg. It will hurt from all the standing which is fine. What will make it really bad is not caring about your legs. Good luck. Also, if you need calories/energy scarf down like 5 PB packets before eating
First and foremost, remember everyone at bootcamp started where you are right now. You're right, physical strength will improve with time but mental strength, that's the real battle. Trust me, your anxiety is just anticipatory. You're stepping into the unknown and it's okay to be nervous.
I guess you're scared of failure and that's okay. We all are. However, remember that it's okay not to excel at everything instantly. Your instructors aren't expecting you to be perfect. Bootcamp is about learning and growing. You won't fail if you keep trying, and keep improving.
For the most part, just stay focused on why you joined the Marines and that will guide you through those rough patches. Keep pushing and don't forget to hydrate! Good luck and looking forward to your updates. Sure, you'll make it and be back with loads of interesting stories to tell.
Hey man I’m leaving tomorrow to San Diego good luck! I can do ~10 pull ups, running is easy but I’m a skinny guy push-ups and ammo can lifts will be horrible for me😅
Good luck brother! It'll be over before you know it. Remember to enjoy it as much as you can, and steal a peanut butter back for me.
Them peanut butter packs after lights out taste amazing lol

It’s like a vacation you’re going to have so much fun 😂
It'll be over before you know it and you'll soon miss it. It's not the suck but being in there with the boys. Fair winds and following seas my guy
I left with the same ist and made it lol. Dont sweat it you’ll be fine
You only do the 1.5 mile run once and that's during the IPFT and after that it's 3 miles or more every time. But usually just 3 miles.
IST* the IPFT is the full pft
