My Time In The Marine Corps - Training For The Military

Спорт

Marine Corps video clips used in this video are from the Marine Corps Basic Training documentary "Ears Open, Eyeballs Click"
In this video I talk about why I joined the Marine Corps, what I did in the Marine Corps, and how to prepare for boot camp.
A sample program is included at the end of the video. This program can be used for any military branch.

Post Marines worked in funeral business often bringing Marines to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. So chances are good that our paths did cross. Like you, those moments graveside rank among the most meaningful in my life. Thank you-and all of us- for our service. regards and, of course, Semper Fi, Bill

He's really strong, deadlifts 545 lbs max after a little less than a year out of the army. He runs every time he lifts, for 1 mile, 5-6 minutes, keeps his size and strength, and I run with him. cardio is good for your heart and muscles. woudnt mind Thrall spreading the wisdom of it.

    Semper Fi, brother. In bootcamp, I was a weakling. It took me a year after bootcamp to become a stud. I was a regular 300-PFTer after that. People have no idea what kind of heart they have. USMC bootcamp will give you a very good idea. If you were company honor grad, then only fellow Marines know what that took. Respect. You're dead-on about training to be a sub-18 minute 3-miler. You gotta go fast all the time for as long as you can. When I went for runs, I freakin' ran. If I wasn't feeling particularly strong that day, then I cut it short, but I never went slow. I also did the sprint the straights and walk the curves thing on a track sometimes. You gotta get to where you're relaxed while hauling ass.

    Great video dude! Especially the first part, holy shit you were in my head when I was 18. My best friend had already left for the Marines, I was a directionless, defiant, lost mama's boy. Couldn't find a job I liked, or keep a job for very long. My buddy came home from his A.I.T. and I was floored by; how he acted, how he got treated (he was even more of a fuck up than I was before he left), and how much pussy came out of the woodwork for him. The night he was leaving, my fuckin battery in my truck exploded, had a shitty night at work (3rd shift shit job), almost got into a fist fight at work, bla bla.... Got out of work at 7am, got my dunkins coffee, and was waiting parked in front of the recruiter's office when they opened. The rest is history. Our government may have it's issues and challenges, but our military fucking rocks! Uncle Sam straightened me right the fuck out (with a quickness), best move I ever made. 8 years active Army Engineer. retired Sgt, 62E20, promotable. Got out before I got my E-6. Great tale brother! Semper Fi.

After being laid off from a good job and having one now that I am not very happy in, I have decided to finally get into shape and do something I've been considering for a long time, join the military ( decided on Navy). I have lost almost 50 lbs through powerlifting and CrossFit and I love both, but now I am at a point where I need to start running, and this video has some great starting points for me. Thank you for this video and others on your channel.

    Semper fidelis brother. I had no idea you served until I saw this. It sheds a whole new light for me on your videos. I've been in 12 years now and I still fight every gene in my body to maintain weight and fitness standards, made all that much harder by having to set an example for my troops. I recently had to take a promotion photo, and let's just say I had a moment of "self awareness", and decided I can't live like this any more. So I've started a journey to change my life, and in just a couple months, changes are happening and I feel like my life is so much better. Sorry for being so long winded, but I just wanted to make a point, that some of your videos have been a part of this, and now it means so much more. I'll be looking forward to more videos. Oorah! Yut! Kill!

    So I'm guessing someone forgot their general orders while on firewatch one night and paid a heavy price for it. Yes? 1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view. 2. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing. 3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce. 4. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own. 5. To quit my post only when properly relieved. 6. To receive, obey, and pass on the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard only. 7. To talk to no one except in line of duty. 8. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder. 9. To call the corporal of the guard in any case not covered by instructions. 10. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased. 11. To be especially watchful at night and, during the time for challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.

    Damn this man knows how to train for a 1.5 mile run. I ran track in college and used to have chiefs tell us to run 3 miles two times a week in prep for a 1.5 and when I told them it just trained you to run a slower pace and made it harder to pick up that pace when you needed to they would just not listen. It is good to run two to three longer tuns of no more than 5 miles 3-4 times a month.

    This guy is talking about intervals, the best way to better your endurance. It's better to slowly jog than to walk, but it's even better to have a bit a of a fast pace while jogging, and then you start to Sprint. These are called fartleks. Another workout would be Indian runs, where a group of men in one single column would run around a track at their 10k pace (10 kilometers), about 6-7 min per mile. The last guy in the line would sprint to the front, and on and on and on. Sprint, jog, repeat.
