What improvement can I realisticly expect in USMC Recruit Training?

I will be leaving for USMC Recruit Training very soon. My IST scores are 20 pullups, 88 crunches and a 9:30 1.5 mile run. How much improvement can I expect on each exercising event. Any experience shared would be greatly appreciated.

    You can expect great improvement. especially in the endurance field seeing as how 1.5 miles is only a poolie thing. you'll be stepping up to 3 miles. i don't know of any recruit that cant get 100 sit ups in the allotted 2 min time. you'll be doing more than 20 pull ups by the end. marine boot camp is mostly physical training, drill, and marine corps history. just you being there and doing what your Drill Instructors say will get you to par even if you dont notice it. everything else you learn is after from MCT/SOI and mos school. even when you get to the fleet training is continuous.

    the total theory of boot camp is take a civilian, and turn them right into a deadly tool who follows orders, and is experienced to do a job. Its stressful and confident, tough, yet consistently remember this: a million. it extremely is merely some weeks long and after the Crucible, existence gets extra useful. 2. artwork as a set. help one yet another and keep one yet another up too velocity and squared away. 3. persist with any and all orders to the letter and at modern. do no longer talk returned to the DI, undesirable mistake. 4. Your weapon is a gadget, shield it and it will shield you. maximum suitable of success and artwork stressful, quickly you would be between the Few, the Proud, the Marines. Semper Fi
